@Grave_Rose Apparently over half of us wanted this. I don’t think sympathy is really deserved at this point.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@PeteCCDE So happy to see this friend. I’ve been concerned. Glad to see that you all are okay.

A couple more astronomy photos I’ve been able to take over the past couple week. First is our galactic neighbor, Andromeda. Second is a nebula appropriately named the Bubble Nebula.

@CTOAdvisor @X Turning off autoplay on video seems to have resolved this for me. It was stealing focus even when not actively playing a video.

@stubarea51 I agree completely, hence why the initial concern about “what do they want to do now…” I’m all about government encouraging (not forcing) use of effective tech to secure the routing table.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

I was ready to be outraged by the methods the government proposed to secure BGP routing in the DFZ, but it turns out they just want the US to adopt RPKI for authorization and validation. Well yeah, obviously. Let’s do that… https://t.co/hevvVF14XC

I’ve had some clear nights here in Colorado and decided to go for something new. WR 134 is focused on a Wolf-Rayet star about 6,000 light years away. The blue bubble nebula is star-forming gasses that are being blown away from the recently formed star via solar winds.

@standaloneSA I would imagine that you would have to deduct this assessed tax from capital gains if the portfolio value is ever realized but the plan seems reasonable to me.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@standaloneSA I think I get where you’re going. Small annual assessed tax on portfolio value rather than trying to extract capital gains from unrealized investments. The longer you hold a high value portfolio, the closer you get to the higher cap gains anyway since it’s assessed every year…

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@stubarea51 I’m glad to see it arrived!

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

This is the Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) in SHO taken from Granby, CO. This nebula is approximately 7200 light years away and 20 light years across. This image represents 7h 20m of capture time.

@benjaminbachman Not yet. Going to smoke them tomorrow.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

The perfect way to unwind after a stressful week. I spent the past couple mornings fishing with my BIL Adam at Shadow Mountain Reservoir. Colorado is such a beautiful state.

@MichyfishMurphy @GestaltIT @TechFieldDayPod @NetworkingNerd @robbboyd @TechFieldDay @TheFuturumGroup Teensy elfling or not, you class up this photo quite a bit!

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

There are so many things that could be so much better if we just stopped perpetuating past assumptions and design patterns. See also: campus networking and WAN.

[Eyvonne Sharp @SharpNetwork]

What if, and hear me out, we decided to do end user computing differently?

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@ghostinthenet This may be generally true but it’s not a universal truth. Some of us out here are getting beat up by vendors for taking an approach that is solution/customer/outcome focused and not just selling what a vendor wants us to.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@John_Capobianco This is super cool John. I’ve been impressed with https://t.co/PQ8ONUgNta and they’re lucky to have you. Good luck on the new gig.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@danieldibswe I don't think that's happening any time soon. I think the profile of the job is shifting but networking isn't going anywhere.

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

So many interesting insights in this paper. 40% of companies have a skills gap in network security, 30%+ identify skill gaps in network architecture/engineering. Only 2% don't think they have any skills gap. 90% think they have wifi figured out.

[EMA Research @ema_research]

“Only 32% of respondents said that we have enough networking talent to support any task or project that comes out,” according to new research from @ema_research @ShamusEMA. Read the full @NetworkWorld article here: https://t.co/Pz49HLaxjz #NetworkAsAService

[Jordan Martin @bcjordo]

@mtaht I found that one the most misguided. Wifi is tough and isn't getting easier. There's no way that many orgs have it all figured out.
