@Grey WE CAN'T ALL LIVE LIKE KINGS.

I made some enchiladas this past week. They've been good!

Next time, I need to get more mole, though, so I can throw the tortillas in there before wrapping them.

@JaredBusch Understandable. You're right though, a lot of providers don't offer those lower-U solutions. I wish we were able to offer that in our non-LA facilities.

@wirestyle22 I think it's a combination of people not wanting to deal with hardware--even though there's nothing to "deal" with, as colo's will set everything up for you--and the "cloud" positioning itself as future-tech.

How much do you think the "buzz" around the cloud plays into adoption from an SMB?

@ChrisL No one in IT should ever have access to weapons

Too late. I took karate when I was 12. I'm practically a walking weapon.

You took one class when you were 12, watch out

His body has been molded into a lethal instrument. Be careful of taunting him.

He even plays jenga with 2x4s!!!

I'm doing a Jenga block-breaking demonstration at MangoCon 2017.

Somebody needs to bring an ultra slo-mo camera then!!!

Youtube Video

@RojoLoco to watch the bones in my hand crumble in glorious 250FPS slo-mo?

@Dashrender if by one class you mean "certified purple belt" then yes.

Also, my sensei had a glass eye, so I'm practically a ninja.

@thanksajdotcom I really need to buy a sword.

I've been eating a lot of donuts lately. Somebody stop me, please.

@BRRABill Yeah, mine's the product of not properly warming up before attempting to move weight.

Always stretch and warm up and stuff. Especially if you sit all day!

Just got done foam rolling. Tweaked a muscle in my back working out a few weeks back and I've been rolling out and sitting on tennis balls for a week straight.

Sitting in an office chair doesn't help at all.

@JaredBusch Depends on available space in our NY/NJ DC's. All others are half-rack minimum.

Hey Kris,

As @scottalanmiller said, we currently sponsor the NTG Lab in our new downtown LA DC and as he and the rest of the team can attest, speeds are very quick from East Coast to the facility. We have a ton of options from 1U to Full racks, all with customizable options with OS, storage, RAM, etc.

Also we have coupons! You can use the MangoLassi exclusive coupon MangoCon50 to get 50% off your first month so that's cool too.

If you need more info, you can check out our options at www.colocationamerica.com/colocation or just reach out to me here.

Well by definition your are a professional if you are paid to do a certain task. IT professional is no different than professional wrestler.

Your paid to do X. Which means your a professional

No difference between a pro wrestler and an IT pro? Hmmm...

I performed my signature move the "Tombstone" on that 2003 Exchange server. It's completely out of commission.

I gave an open cabinet door the Sweet Chin Music the last time I visited the DC.

(Putting this under "Self-Promotion" as I didn't want to put it under "IT Discussion" and possibly run afoul of the rules since it technically is a post we're promoting.)

Inspired by convos we had with all of you at MangoCon, the wonderful @SamieWalters--who was too busy to post it herself -- wrote an article about what an IT Pro actually is in a world where seemingly everyone who works in the Information Technology arena is a "professional".

So what exactly constitutes an IT Pro? Do you think there are certain baselines of knowledge that you could look at someone and say, "That's an IT Pro"? Does it require certifications, experience, or a combination of both?
