Heading to the Milwaukee SpiceCorp

so what does a SpiceCorps meeting look like?

late start. coffee 1. is it the weekend yet.

finally at work. up over night with a mild dose of food poisoning. felt ok this morning so off to work. bumpy roads on the way to work made it a challenging trip.

Thanks everyone, I'll check out packet tracer.

My Cisco skills are woeful. I need to pick up knowledge on how to setup basic configs for switches & routers.

Anyone know of an online resource that emulates the CLI of a switch or router which allows you to configure it and then you can see what the outcome is?

I don't have a lot of time to sit and learn, maybe just a little longer than my attention span, so the resource will need to be quite intuitive & able to be used pretty quickly.

My wife is blasting Queen through the house. I never really appreciated what an amateur band they were. It's all theatrics and nostalgia. Musically, they were absolute crap. They'd never make it today as a serious band. It's really amazing how poor they sound when you just hear them in the background playing and aren't listening to them with rose coloured ear buds.

You may be being a bit harsh? They were a product of their time, just like everything else. Cars from back then would be absolute crap now for the same reasons.

You have to go by how they were judged in their time. They were extremely popular worldwide, so going by that you can only conclude that what they did appealed to a very broad range of tastes so therefore they were very good at what they did, at that time.

Me, i've never been much of a fan.

Music is a bit different. Even compared to music of the time, this was like a big joke right? This seems like novelty music from doctor Demento, bot actually meant to be listened to as music.

Hahaha, there's so much music like that, girl bands, boy bands, hair metal bands. It's produced to make money not necessarily leave humanity with an increase in social riches.

Rock on!

Ex Machina was good

Haven't seen this yet, it's on the list.

Arrival wasn't bad recently. Another classic IMO was/is Contact

Friday afternoon & time to kill time.

I love sci fi flicks. I saw Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind at the drive in in the 70s and lots of other stuff in between.

Never really liked that Star Wars stuff with characters that were obviously just humans with stupid make up & costumes, the only good Star Wars movie was the original IMO.

Thunderbirds is awesome and is one of the great originals.

Can anyone suggest any good SciFi movies I can check out????????????

Doctor Who (not a movie but still good), Stargate (has movies), and Battlestar Galactica (not just a TV series! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue: )

ever seen the original blade runner? I've not it, but may have to as I want to see blade runner 2 or whatever it's called.

there's a good indie movie called Moon I watched a few years ago.

slowing up after a way too productive first 4 hours of the day.

I haven't been sleeping well these last couple of Nights, No idea why but i wake up multiple times throughout the night and stay up for atleast 30 minutes to an hour each time I wake up leaving me with less than sufficient sleep.

Yep, that's a real drag.

This is what I've found works well for me. Go to bed with an empty bladder, don't drink anything 45 minutes before going to bed. No phones or tablets before going to bed. No caffeine after 3pm. Fresh air into the room where you sleep. Don't allow yourself to get too hot in bed. Exercise when possible.

Alcohol does not work well with sleep. I'm a bit rusty here, but alcohol converts into carbs, the higher the alcoholic content the more carbs. Carbs give you energy, this is essentially why alcohol stuffs up your sleep, you're trying to sleep as your body is creating energy for you.

You could also try staying up later. Good luck with it.

sitting at home building a new 2016 server for a school on melbourne cup day.
there's not much that bores me more than horse racing, but the day we get off for this one is always welcome.

Just got out of a meeting and found out my brilliant faculty put athletic training and physical education into the STEM pathway. They unanimously agreed to this too.

Hey, they're educators, they'd know, I dare you to try and tell 'em they're wrong
