Someone was able to program Unify switch port LED’s to play snake. This would make switch installs a lot more fun. 😂

I woke up this morning and saw my TikTok channel now has 80k followers. TikTok gets a lot of hate, but creating content on it this past year has changed my life. I’m so appreciative of the community!

I have a 16U rack for my network and server gear that’s currently in the garage because the wife doesn’t want it in the house. She conceded that I can bring the lab in the house if I can make it look like furniture. Anyone know of a nice looking solution?

Unpopular opinion: PuTTy is terrible and only useful in rare cases where I need something lightweight that just runs.

I don’t own any non apple silicon processor computers and I wanted to setup CML. So now I have a cute little Beelink mini pc dedicated to running my CML server. Working like a charm so far.

Can I put on my resume that I’m still in my former co-workers group chat and get invited to their social gatherings over a year after leaving? I feel like that speaks more than anything else I can put on there.

I just rescheduled my free cert exam for
#CiscoLive
from Monday to Wednesday, because I’ve spent maybe 2 hours studying for the cert the past 6 months so naturally by moving it two days it will give me enough time during Live to study enough to pass it. 🙄

My take on VTP. Every time I run into it in the wild, I’m shocked. Why can’t I create a VLAN?! Oh…wow. 🤣

A rare day off where the wife isn’t WFH and the kids are in camp. Do I record TikTok content, study for the CCNP, make a dent in the list of projects around the house, or just relax and recharge? Ahhh analysis paralysis!!

Messages like this make me so happy! Also as a girl dad, she will love helping you out and spending time with you doing something you’re excited about. Have fun!
Wanted to thank
@AdjacentNode
&
@TracketPacer
for inspiring me to finally build out a network and security lab. Have not been this excited about this in a while and really looking forward to it.
Also going to get my daughter involved, it's going to be pretty awesome.

At the hall of presidents in Disney. I just asked my 14 year old daughter which president is her favorite. She said Abraham Lincoln. (Solid answer) I then asked her what was his most famous speech. Her reply? The 10 commandments. 🤦♂️

My “weakness” is that my family will always come first. I will be taking vacation days. Unless I’m on call, at dinner time my phone will be in the next room, and I won’t have a PC next to me on the weekends.
