What Are You Doing Right Now

It's weird to me that a lot of phones cost more than full computer, (I see many phones are $500-$800). and Tablets are also now a lot cheaper than phones. I wonder if this is actual costs or just up charging because they can?

@thecreativeone91 That's probably some of it, lol.

Placed an Saturday delivery order with Amazon for the Asus Zen Phone 2 and a Nano sim to Micro Sim adapter.
Got tests I have to take for work on Monday. I didn't realize when they said they were big on personal continued development they actually meant it. Tests are suppose to help decide which training and conference would be best to send me to through out the year. We've already determined Spiceworld is out of the question, mean mostly for SMBs and is more marketing than anything to offer us more enterprise knowledge.

There is VERY little to no technical training. Lots of valuable information about products but no actual technical training.

I always assumed it was more for the networking aspect then the actually technical information.

OH yeah, SpiceWorld is not technical at all. It's the least technical conference that I have every been to. Even the vendors dumb everything down and only focus on swag, not on training or user education. It's a great conference, but skip all the content, there is little to no value there. It's a place for networking with other IT pros, the vendors, etc.
It's well worth it, but you really have to know how to leverage it to make it work.

Oh yes and that is more how everyone I know uses it. It is great to meet and commiserate with Fellow IT Pro's. And to meet Vendors that could help you out from time to time.

This ^ this right here is why I'd be willing to be Danielle's minion for a weekend at Spiceworld - the introductions, and education would far outweigh anything else going on there.

Would be happy to impart my wisdom
Really its about talking and listening, ask @art_of_shred and @Mike-Ralston, I am VERY good at talking. -
Swapping out an Aironet 1300 with a spare 1300...without a spare power injector. Super fun times.
-
Closing up shop for the weekend! We survived another week! yay!

I'm planning on attending SW this year. Hope I find myself around the NTG folks more often than not.

We will be there. Not in full force I had to make a few people work. But enough of us. It will be lots of fun.

Getting a nearly updated ELK system running.
-
Wow are we ever pounding on that box! CPU at 100%, load at 4!
-
I'm making Captain Planet proud by packing things up for an e-cycling trip! Good times in ~100 degree weather...
-
Loading up systems into ELK. This is awesome, working smoothly so far. But have not attempted to address getting Windows systems to feed into it yet. That will be another challenge.

Slowly oozing into a puddle of Matt on the floor, it's really hot in this office today.

@WingCreative
I need to do the same. Zero patience for clutter, but it's still there. -
Heading to Tom Wahl's in Avon, NY for dinner with the family.
