Oh hey friends! For the record, surprisingly, Chris did not kill me the next day. I think I killed myself - 2 hours of sleep, solid decision.

It was our pleasure and, don't worry, I am setup, practicing, and ready to go for another year.

Oh hey there - I'm Sam and I do something important over at Colocation America (or so they say). I may be one of the first people who joined MangoLassi after meeting people in real life. So now from offline to online - let's see what happens...

That moment where your Outlook stops working and you have to fix it. But more accurately, you stop doing everything else because one thing is not working so you come on ML...

I can just imagine the conversations I will now have to have when I recommend "G Suite" for businesses. I am going to steal @RojoLoco name as Gangsta Suite and then drop the mic and walk away.

@travisdh1 According to Friday night's conversation there is SAM 1 and SAM 2 - I being SAM 2... But I am happy to change that

Ah, that is a cute kitty.

Yep. Way to cute for her own good, and she knows it. I can just see her thinking "Why you half to make so much noise?" in that picture.

And you thinking back at her: don't even think you're going to be bringing any gifts home!

I love jumping into this thread randomly and taking everything out of context. Thank you crew!

@MattSpeller SEO at its finest - random topics for the win

@IRJ said in Google renames Google Apps to G Suite:

The name change makes sense, but the name G Suite is just terrible. I can understand Google not wanting people to confuse Google Apps with Android type Apps. Because they really aren't just apps they are an office suite.

Even Google Suite would have been better. Or just Google Office (unless that is trademarked).

The irony is that I am sure they spent thousands testing the performance of this name change. It makes you wonder what the other options were...

@Texkonc hey hey this is a kid friendly environment! Naw, there is Uber in LA unlike Rochester, NY something that rocked @ChrisL soul

The "spend lots of money because I spent lots of money" in this thread is insane. SO much bad advice:

Yeah I didn't wanna touch that one with a 50 ft pole.

How much of online "advice" do you think is good?

Is your foodie/micro brew friend single?

Back tracking, @RojoLoco - I just saw this, haha! Unfortunately, my BFF is not single. Sorry! I will be happy to keep you updated on that situation.

Realistically, you could introduce me to any foodie / craft beer ladies you know... just sayin'.

It's a deal! I pretty much know at least 1 in every state - we will make it happen!

I'm sad Coly didn't get his own username.

He'd have more moderated posts than @JaredBusch by sundown.

Coly has been working on inspirational quotes this week - we are a bit worried about it.

Just a quick reminder to all: NO POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS ALLOWED. Period!

That's quite the political stance you have on free speech

Yeah remember we are an IT forum and while it's fun to talk about stupid stuff. Nothing that will cause flame wars or attacking each other. Honestly I am one Community Manager I don't want to deal with it. And shouldn't have to either.

And, in the same vein, it's really a community for people striving to be IT Pros. Not AV Club kids.

Too soon?

My whole week has been surrounded around "what is a IT Pro" - currently still dealing with the issue... whatever, it will make a great blog later

Handcuffs and dildo's for the sky marshal's weapon of choice?

A would-be robber was "deterred" by the staff of a CA sex shop recently... they used some of their "inventory" to beat the guy down. So yes, they can be used as weapons.

Ok just checking - yep I read that right. ML you never let me down, thank you!

Sorry I read wine and jump backed in... Is it 5 o'clock everywhere?

PS long time no talk, peeps!

There is a program called CyberPatriot that is teaching kids in middle and high school cyber security. The idea behind this is that we are not creating the correct IT workforce needed to fill these jobs or so the people pitching the program (and LAUSD) say. I would love to hear @scottalanmiller talk to them about what he has seen in the industry.

I think Windows is trying but they will try anything...

Related but unrelated - apparently LAPD is now going to have Tesla Model S for their cars

Ok, who broke it? Someone fess up NOW.

We have our own conspiracy theory over here...
