Who knows. Seems foolish to make it look like your site failed, though.

It is Target. We know how they tend to be with technology.

Just donated blood feeling that someone just ran me over.

I haven't given blood in a long while, but when I do, its usually hard and fast. I'll turn pale but won't feel anything except for a little bit of weakness.

I've been hearing about Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) for such things as this. Kind of has that "Producer in the back room calling the shots" feel. Able to be deployed on Windows, Mac, or Linux and is ready to interface with YouTube, Twitch, and such.

We had the Ukrainian doctor come to check out Luciana today.

How is she?

They just gave her cough medicine and some saline nasal spray. Nothing major. It's just extreme congestion. Sadly, she coughed so much last night that she threw up

Diddo. It must be tough being a Daughter of SAM.

You're going to need to do some concentanation on your usernames in order to get the period included in the spot you want. Take a look at my script. There is a place where it is concentanated for the first name and last name for the email address and last name + first initial for usernames.

-EmailAddress $GivenName + "." + $Surname + "@email1.com" `

Here, I think you're going to want to try something like:

@wirestyle22 I'm thinking something that is typically dispensed medicinally, but is still enjoyed either way recreationally.

The current DNS is unnecessarily slow and suffers from inability to deploy new features. To remediate these problems, vendors of DNS software and also big public DNS providers are going to remove certain workarounds on February 1st, 2019.

This change affects only sites which operate software which is not following published standards. Are you affected?

First I've heard about this. I've always thought that DNS was fast enough, but of course, it was designed 40 years ago. Is this really concern now?

@JaredBusch Ha! I'm probably the only IT pro in the world that doesn't enjoy / drink coffee. I've drank it in the past and it's not terrible, but meh...

Nope. You're not.

Even reoccurring tasks/to-do items. I may have a task that occurs once a month or once every 4 weeks that must be done.

The UK has not gone without coal power for a day since it was fired up in 1882. 135 years of burning coal is a really long time.

Good for the UK. The two new nuclear plants will help make these days more common.

We could get a keg and invite everyone over for a crazy day of backyard renovations, lol.

If you bring beer, they will come.

Anybody taken any of their courses? Anybody know how much they cost? How was the content and style of teaching? Worth going to?

@Kelly I've never liked clutter or focused inbox. Just give me an inbox and I'll take care of the rest. I'll tell you what is junk and I'll sort the rest with rules.
