What Are You Doing Right Now
-
At Gerber's in Utica with @Dominica. Best bar in the city.
-
-
Been playing with the new puppy.
-
Just had breakfast with the family at the local diner in Schuyler, NY. We are here in the area until tomorrow morning.
-
You got a puppy @scottalanmiller ?!
-
Catching up, and wishing it was warm again!
-
Monday after holiday weekend = I NEED MORE COFFEE!!!
-
First day at the new job...had to wake up before 7 this morning... not that I've slept for days anyways...
-
Trialing Webroot... working really well, even found some things that ControlNow (or GFI Cloud/GFI Vipre) didn't find. Also a few less false positives which is also good.

I LOVE Webroot! I cannot praise their product enough! That'll make @Richard and @Nic happy!
The thing that I like the most about their sales tactics... I didn't have to go through a webinar (or an introductory call) to get a trial like I did with a couple of other solutions... a simple form to fill out and an email... why can't everything be that easy?

And that's just it. They've listened to IT Pros in the field. We don't want to have to BS or hassle our way through things to get a trial or whitepaper or whatever. We want to get what we need and have it be simple. A simple form is easy. But "well, join our 1-hour webinar and then get harassed by our sales team and THEN we'll get you a trial" is outdated and yet so many companies still follow it.

I started at McAfee at the beginning of September after accepting the position the beginning of August. I was not happy there. The work was driving me nuts! Looking forward to being back in general IT.

Very quiet around here today. Is everyone getting back into the groove after a long weekend?

i was wondering the same - maybe they are all off shopping on Cyber Monday!
-
Must be. Though I know I am crazy busy with end of the year customer panic. Everyone that I have sent quotes out and not answered back for the last 6 months is crawling out of the woodwork. New clients is a good thing!

Just got off the phone with Microsoft support... got a new/refurb Surface Pro on warranty from them... was shipped with a broken image and a banned key... now I can't activate it and the first tier person basically accused me of pirating Windows and told me some of the punishments that could come along with it... They were flabbergasted when I told them the device (and image) were directly from Microsoft.
Makes me wish we had a volume license agreement for Windows...
