My grandfather gave me my first computer when I was 13, it was an old one that didn't do poo but word processor type of work. So I took it apart to see what was in it, I guess that was my launch into IT nerdem.. pays the bills nicely

 

 

Yeah my father who was an engineer at Sprint at the time would take me to the office with him sometimes and just sit me in front of a computer when I was 7 and say.. Have fun. Learn this. It will pay off.. 

 

 

Couldn't stick with the IT stuff in the civilian world because I hate slow computers with an absolute passion and fixing Email and Printer issues drove me insane. Soooo I went with a little more in depth on the hardware side of things and work on all the wires/boxes/relays/avionics of aircraft in the navy eh.. You name it everything is monitored and works off of electricity now a days. I thank that man every day because its like I see 1's and 0's in the matrix when it comes to fixing and troubleshooting this stuff. Definitely made me a very decorated man in the service.

If any of you nerds want to see where IT is headed, check out the link below. Cisco UCS platform is nuts. You can take a chasis that holds 6 - 8 blade servers, with each blade having 60 CPU cores and 1TB of RAM, on a 80gigabit backplane. The amount of poo you can put on one of these is insane as is the amount of I/O it can handle. We have taken our customers entire datacenters and collapsed it down to two of these chasis for redundancy and have tons of room for growth. One chasis alone can easily run 200-300 virtual machines depening on RAM requirements.

The funny thing is, half the guys on here have no clue what we're talking about.

 

I remember when we got really excited that the processors broke 100MHz.

 

 

I also distinctly remember having a conversation with my old boss in which the words 

 

"16MB of RAM!!!  We'll never need more than that..."  were spoken.

 

On our current refresh, we just ordered 6 servers with 1TB of RAM each.  I'm in sciency nerd heaven.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
