      Hmmmm... the last intern's name was Michael. Well, I guess it still is Michael, in fact. I wonder if that is going to be a requirement for interns?

      The friend I told about this...his name is Michael too actually...ROFL

      Oh good, well then he might qualify.

      He might be better as a GS intern. He wants to either do programming/CS or digital art. He's actually a decent artist, so if @Minion-Queen was looking for a marketing intern, he'd probably be perfect. 😉

    • RE: Outlook 2013 Junk issues

      I have this happen with my Gmail as well. I'm pretty sure it's because, even if you have a rule that allows all emails from domain.com to come through, it's hitting a spam filter first, and something in that email is causing it to go into the spam filter. It drives me nuts when it happens but I don't think there is any way around it, especially with Office365. Maybe contact support and see if they can permanently whitelist the domains or emails you want, but otherwise, nothing can really be done.

      @Michaelnp500 said in Looking for Highshool IT Intern:

      @scottalanmiller Right. Just being with Apple would be great, but remote support or working in store also. To get a job with them though, I can't just walk into a store. We don't have one here, but they do hiring all starting online.

      What are you looking for though? For example, I can do phone support. I've done it extensively, and I'm quite good at it. However, where I shine most is at in-person interactions. I'm sure some will mutter under their breath about that comment, but ask @Minion-Queen about how I do when engaging prospective clients and she'll tell you that I shine best with in-person interactions. I worked retail for about five years total. I've worked a little bit at pretty much every level of IT, although not as high as some of @scottalanmiller experiences... but I've done everything from your retail tech support up to engineering. NTG was a true gift. I got to work in administrative functions, internal support, sales, marketing, development, and more.

      But at the end of the day, you need to know yourself. You want to find a job that you can shine at, and to do that, you need to know your personality type. You strike me as more outgoing, and as a people person. A common job that are a dime a dozen are traveling techs. Dell especially loves to hire people for this role. You drive around and bounce from client to client. It's a great way to gain a lot of experience fast, although you often don't dive as deep as some other roles, because you're often just the "hands" in the field. But that also varies by role.

    • RE: Can't Add Second DC

      Just tried switching the DNS server settings on the 2012 box to PDC as prim DNS and itself as secondary, at least for now. Now it works!

    • RE: Looking for Highshool IT Intern

      I have a friend who works in IT and actually has a degree that might be a good candidate. She lives in Texas and currently works in the field but could definitely benefit from some much higher end experience. However, she's 25. Thoughts?

    • RE: Anyone have you tried this? Save a Failed Hard Drive in Your Freezer, Redux

      Don't EVER do this after you've physically opened up a drive though. Dust gets inside, and moisture, and then sticking it in the freezer is a big no-no.

    • RE: You Can't Trust Your Memory

      Number 1 on false memories and a couple others combined happen to me all the time. The worst thing for me is dreams. I rarely remember what I dreamed when I wake up, which is normal. But I have triggers at times, where, I feel as though I'm having a memory recall but I know for a fact that it couldn't be real. My dreams actually create memories all the time. Real places that I never went to but were near to or similar to places I have been, with real people or made up bystanders...it's freaky. Drives me bonkers!

      @scottalanmiller said:

      March showed some solid growth for MangoLassi which is awesome. Nothing crazy, but good, solid community growth. And that's healthy so that's what we want. If we grew a lot all of a sudden bad things would be far more likely to happen.

      As @Nic always says, steady, organic growth is what makes long-term communities, not sudden spikes.

      Told a friend about this. He's a year or so younger than me and has a four-year degree but is pretty much brand new to IT. We will see if he posts. 🙂

      I like the idea of wearables. I want unobtrusive notifications. I hate pulling my phone out constantly, often only to see if I have missed something.

      Agreed, a lot faster to look at your watch at a stop light instead of grabbing your phone, typing in the unlock code, etc.

      I really don't think its going to work that way. Sure you might be able to see the time or see a notification ding, but its probably not going to give you the details you are look for without some type of interaction. Even in the article it just shows the Facebook notification button. Is that 7 game invites or is it actually something you care about? You wont know until you check your phone. Same way with emails. It will just show 7 new emails. There will be no way to tell if they are junk or not without some type of interaction.

      That's the same as notifications now. They only tell you there is something to look at, not what it is. Until you open the app, there is no way to know.

      I assume you're referring to working with Google Apps? What kinds of things do the teachers use Google for Education for? Also, are you looking to go for more of a training-style role, or more of a support/administration of the infrastructure role?
