Mikrotik Switches and Imaging
I posted previously about deploying software packages a different way; more reliable, faster, always the latest package… etc. and that’s all important but it’s also about pure speed. The faster I can deploy a workstation; the better, and this is another area that needed improvement, our imaging system was running in Hyper-V as a Linux […]
AI in a box
I love the scene in Mr. Robot where Elliot gets pushed off the railing by his dad 😂 lol… its not as bad as it sounds – no spoilers but when you find out what really happened, you’ll be shocked… in the end Elliot just wanted his father’s approval – sometimes that is just something […]

My life as a geek
I’ve been getting very tired of our app deployment system… we have a image and application deployment system and at the time we implemented it – it was a great idea, as there was no central method of sending out base images and software packages when I started working. But as time when on, cracks […]
