The real question is: Is it pronounced data or data?

Corrupt Data

Offically started clocking in / out as of today.

But I still have to track my time in the spread sheet for my On call weeks (standby pay) - so now Every day when I clock out, I gotta put the hours in my Spread Sheet that we've been using-

I'll take extra logging of what is logged for $100 Alex.

Scheduling an interview next week and (gasp) it’s an in person version!

Onboarding paper work... WOO!!!!.. no - wait.. Oh crap ... I wasn't done with that page.. come back here!!! GAH!

oops.. >click< HR - HELP!

Just schedule time off,… use it or lose it…. I have to use eleven days before 5/31,… and I will still carry over time.

Mostly four day weeks for two months. Guess I need an excuse not to do things at home now.

@gjacobse Bio - IRL Name: Gene

Not much on doing a self Bio - But I'll see what I can muster up and get online.

First contact with computers would have been in the mid to late 1970's, it was a Main Frame terminal in the Math and Science Center in Virginia. One of the things we did was play the famous game: Oregon Trail. The 'display' was a line printer from what I can remember. This is in the era of to 'shot' you had to type B A N G. not tap the space bar.

Getting into high school a classmate who got me remote control cars also started me down the road of electronics - All sorts of mayhem ensued.

I have run a BBS system, and built PCs in the living room since the earlier 1990s. Spent several years on a Help desk for the State, driven commercial trucks, worked for two non - profits as the sole IT person, supported 18,000 people for a large auto manufacturer.

And now I work for NTG, one of the best IT companies.

Working with @scottalanmiller and our Sodium - it doesn't appear as though I can open a new ticket. I can however see the test tickets, and interact with them. Just not open a new one.

@dafyre said in Random Stuff to Bring to MangoCon 2016:

@MattSpeller Everything on that list makes sense... Except the first one... The first item has me concerned for your safety.

It's a @MattSpeller thing....

So - one of the things I can seem myself doing is needing to have Sodium open in two tabs;

• Dashboard
• Tickets

But, the Tab title only shows Sodium. I would like to see if possible, the page showing what you are one currently.

Discussion came up today about applying updates to servers via Sodium.

Awesome - this will be great. I won't have to do (x) a bunch of times.

So here we have Sodium applying the updates available for system x - Server 2012 r2,.. and the little blue dots just 'whirling' away happily. Awesome

Applied

But now what - it still needs a reboot -

So once the update is complete, what is happens next? Am I to wait for a clock to cycle before it will reboot on its own, or do I need to step in?

I have to add that I have ten - fifteen systems I am running updates on, across two Hyper-V Hosts. My normal is to updates and shut down, update and restart the host.

How long do I wait, or do I just move forward with a reboot?

@Sodium

Just leave me in a corner and I'll be fine.
