Programming is different. You need a high level of abstract thinking and - at least that's my opinion - you must be creative. @scottalanmiller said something very true, programming is like paining or playing an instrument. There is some, hell, how to say... There's a hidden picture deep behind tens or hundreds of thousands of lines, something you can actually feel at times. Sounds stupid, I know 😉

IT in terms of administration, deployment and similar tasks is also a big thing, where analyitical and problem solving skills are required, but it's not like (real) programming. Remember: Programming != ("Coding" || Webdesign || Printers) 😛

Scott Hanselman had a podcast a few weeks ago about code smells. I think that is the feel you are referring too.

YEs, that is it. Standard term "smells" believe it or not.

@scottalanmiller said in Replacing Evernote?:

@guyinpv we use one OneNote per client. That way the data is portable per client. If a client wants a copy, they can have it. If a client leaves, we can archive their documents.

That's a lot of notebooks!

I figured my Rolodex-style tab system would work much the same once I can share the tabs, the client can get into the tab and all the pages within.

But I can see the benefit of one notebook per client. Just need an easy way to navigate them. The way ON lets me browse notebooks is annoying. Doesn't lend itself well to having dozens or even hundreds of notebooks.

Yup, but it makes it much easier to have different security per client. It's all in Sharepoint, so very easy to manage.

Oh Boy.. you found Totes McGoat. What an embarrassment for thos of us from Buffalo area. I think someone ran out of time and quickly needed an "idea"

@dafyre This did it, the old version of Procmon was perfect.

Comedy Bang Bang
Harmontown
Spontanenation
The Joe Rogan Experience (especially if you like MMA/UFC fights)
WTF with Marc Maron

(this list is only effective if you like comedy)

@s.hackleman said in Best Practices:

Could I make a DNS alias called HistoryServer Then point it to both History1? Then point all apps to HistoryServer. When ever an upgrade comes due, I can just update the DNS alias in one place?

Yes, but if you can do that, you could just rename, too. This is the better way to go, and ideally should be done from the start.

"Your foul-mouthed technical advisor"

I approve.

I'm afraid that I have not used PPTP for.... ~18 years or so.

I recently finished reading and recommend "The Anatomy of Peace" from The Arbinger Institute. It's a great comprehensive story driven practice in conflict resolution.

It's basically "How to recognize if you're an @$$hole, fix it, and learn to communicate with other @$$hole's effectively".

Good point, the BC itself can be traced.

@s.hackleman a quick search on MS SQL Security got me

But am sure someone from ML will give your more detailed options. Good luck with your project

Figured it out!

<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Security">
<Select Path="Security">
*[System[(EventID=4624)]
and
EventData[Data[@Name='LogonType'] and (Data='10')]]
</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

I've been a fan of KTurtle for over a decade. I used to run technology curriculum and teach elementary, middle and high school kids in computer literacy and we used KTurtle. It remains the best Logo implementation that I have ever found.

Back when I ran the school, we ran 100% on OpenSuse and used KDE on the desktop so the integration was excellent.

The "Search Bar" would make a great name for an IT Conference drink station.

Congrats 🙂

Keep that chin up ! Just pick yourself up and carry on going. If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't.

Keep us posted 🙂
