@WrCombs said in What was your FIRST IT job? And how did you get it?:

no It job really, however i did help my dad and my uncle with some things growing up.. reinstalling OS, updating OS, finding breach points for virus' , and containing virus'
Nothing further other than a few part changes and building family desktops.

You are on the right track, then! Any interest in getting into IT as a career, or is it more of a hobby for you?

I'll go first...
Doing a Lotus Notes migration to Exchange for a law firm in NYC.
I was the guy reconfiguring blackberries for a few weeks in the back office

90% sure I will attend on behalf of @JentuTechnologies ...looking forward to meeting @Minion-Queen and @scottalanmiller and everyone else.

Been using Mint for the last few days, and I actually LOVE it!

I used Ubuntu for a while, but man Linux Mint is just easier and more streamlined...

So far so good, I take it? Or is this zombie AJ posting?

UGH. Have one and don't use it hardly at all (won it).

Man, would have loved to win one. And then put Linux Mint on it :cartwheel:

As long as you don't add external monitors or expect to really do much with it,.. Surface is a decent product. But they have a number of issues when you add the dock and external monitors.....

Loving it in terms of portability and power, going to test the extra monitors when I am back in the office.

I might attend...gotta arrange babysitting procedures...

@Mike-Davis Hi there!
So while there are a bunch of software that does it (Carbon Black by Bit9, McAfee HIPS, etc)

I'd like to suggest my product...Jentu.

What Jentu does is stream the desktop to a workstation internally, behind a secured network connection, and by doing so...bypasses the hard drive on the workstation.
What that means is...with no hard drive at the workstation, means no platform for someone to put malware/cryptoware/spyware on your machine...as these require a hard drive to install into and operate out of.

No other software on the planet can do that.

Would you be interested in learning more?

Welcome to @JentuTechnologies ! Hopefully we can get them to provide their own introduction here on the community.

Hello Everyone, waving

I just joined yesterday, I am excited to be a part of this community and help wherever I can.
A big thank you to @scottalanmiller for introducing me to ML.

I have been in the IT industry some 30 years easily, I still wake up daily with more energy than ever because I love what I do.
My Linkedin profile https://ca.linkedin.com/in/abrahammegidish gives the highlights, but I will be glad to share some of the experiences and trade stories with any who are interested. Some of my latest stories, may actually need a ghost writer to write the book.

Security has always been a passion of mine right from the beginning, from my 1st job in my teens as a student working in the A/V room and the trust that was placed in me to take care of the material at SWC. I take pride in everything I do, I did then, I still do now.

I look forward to interacting with all of you, (as humanly possible :D)

Hey All!
I work in Desktop Engineering in the day time, and then at night I work with @JentuTechnologies coming up with ideas on new product offerings, drafting presentations and social media campaigns, testing stuff, and doing whatever else needs to be done to get the world to know about, and love, Jentu.

Former NYC native, but NJ resident...yet still NYC in my heart

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

I have veggie burgers for lunch. But tonight I'm going to Red Lobster with my cousin. And tonight, I mean late this afternoon.

Veggie burgers should be outlawed.
But I can't talk because I had a PB&J sandwich.

Wfh today, wife is nowhere in town to advise against it.

I have a virtual lab.
Virtual box with two windows vms, a linux vm, and three windows server vms.
A small linux vm (pfsense) for routing in th vm environment.

That's all. Helped me many times when testing powershell scripts, learning concepts etc.

Took about six hours in total to setup...but no money as the laptop it runs on is pretty beefy.
