 This is what happens before vlog Thursday So welcome to vlog Thursday, but we move things because these are projects and these are What happens before? So you see the behind-the-scenes set up a little bit of vlog Thursday, which now I gotta move this over to the hair cuz it's It's got a point right between us We got this all right. We have this Good morning, and happy vlog Thursday that do to all ten thousand one hundred some odd number of you. Thank you very much for subscribing. We love it I am hope you get the big B cup right in there framed. This is important. He's repping Timmy hoes Earl get a drive-through which I think you're working on but yeah, yeah, for those watching us I actually sent Marvin some topics and I want to talk about because we've had so much bad news about Equifax Well, there's just so much bad news about Equifax says not in our fault just But so I posted on Facebook and if you haven't seen it just the Equifax Monopoly guy so worth it. It's so absolutely worth it. Yeah, the the monopoly person had so much fun I don't know how it all occurred or how that could the Senate hearings are Either enraging or boring and it's some combination thereof with Equifax because we all know they have the Get out of jail free cards in a back pocket all of them followed with golden parachutes So when someone showed up looking at the monopoly guys sitting behind the Equifax dude test doing testimony We were so pleased. I believe it was I believe it was a comedian. Yes a lady comedian. Yes, but oh shit I mean just Google Equifax monopoly and you I mean you'll get images and video just top hat monocle the the whole thing just behind him It's funny. Oh, I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Yeah, so that was that was part of the entertainment the other things going on so people have asked me a lot about going to school and I've ranted about it, but I was actually thinking because it came up I was just on another podcast as a guest and we don't programming languages briefly came up that I know like Oh, did you go school for programming like well actually I did back in 1993? I Learned in 1992 and then in 93 Turbo Pascal if anyone's heard of it and there's some old grave you're going I still have my book from it You know and I also learned cobalt programming So how long has it been since you have used turbo Pascal? 1992 so that you had so you learned it and I never used it. Yeah, I never never This was my I learned it in 10th grade Okay, and then Promptly became extinct. Yes. Well a year later. I think it was obsolete when I learned it Well, well in 10th grade. Yeah, probably probably. Yeah. Yeah, so cobalt probably still somewhat useful No, I mean cobalt died in the 70s But there was a resurgence of need for programs to migrate data off of all that ran on the big servers and everything else So there was that what other languages do you speak? Oh Mostly I am a Script kitty. I Got I speech. That's cute. Yeah. No, I I I know stack exchange. It's called copy paste I got this I Google. How do I do a thing? I look at the code and go I bet that works and I copy and paste and if you copy and paste enough things you you end up with a thing that works I'm not gonna lie. Hey, whatever works for you. I know control C control V. This is my It's my favorite programming language I Okay, so the nice thing once you learn programming in general and I learned I actually I do know basic as well Thank you basic. Oh, wow Okay, you know I hack the gorilla program because you everyone used to do the gorilla program and I modified it That was an awesome one. It's your bananas. How do you go wrong with a game when you throw bananas? You can't you can't sit well on bananas unless you make the gorilla throw barrels at a plumber I'm just trying to rescue the princess, you know, I wonder if that's what the inspiration was like they're gonna have a girl throwing bananas because there was a really popular plumber and a gorilla and a donkey But then again, then again you go back to the deep question wait a minute. It's called donkey Kong with a gorilla Well, but that was his name. I know I mean who named the gorilla donkey Kong. I don't know but we can Google it Yeah, I want to know actually. I mean that has been the question Throughout all of my childhood. I just never thought of now to Google it. Well, if we had Google when we were kids We wouldn't we'd be a lot smarter. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, it's now we said that ask our parents and depending on the Parent they would either make something up which would certainly be my grandpa's response majority of things He didn't want to ever be wrong or not know something. So I probably have a lot of bad information in my head is He's a really smart guy, but even when he it didn't have an answer. He had an answer. Yeah. Oh, yeah My dad same thing. Yeah smart guy, but I thought he knew everything. Yeah, he certainly had an answer Sure did yeah, and this is this is my children dad What's the thing and I'm like, ah, and you're like no, I already Google gave me the right answer never my dad Exactly Google it. That's the that's the dad phrase now dad. What's the Google it? Just Google it. No, just Google it You know what this sounds like something this sounds like a learning opportunity. Why don't you look up that information yourself? Yes, and then report back to me. That's how you play that one. Yes. Oh now I know the onto the other thing I would talk about so I spent about eight hours migrating Servers well that sounds like fun until you undo eight hours of migrating servers and put it all back the way you found it I had about midnight on a Saturday But I did learn a Lot of things so I'm working on doing and there's a server over here That's one of the things on the table because of the template location of one of the servers the whole Concept of I need to I'm migrating over everything to Zen server. I Got overly ambitious trying to program and migrate all yeah Zen yeah, trying to migrate all the virtual machines at the same time and Dealing with new problems that were unexpected And I but the good news is all this is going into a video So I am working actively on producing a very in-depth Virtualization video, so that's gonna be fun. I'm excited to do the video It's it's one be probably one of my more in-depth videos of how it all works And I got even more in-depth solving problems And then I started working on problems that didn't exist because it turns out there was a problem with a board and So discovering that problem sent me down a rabbit hole of chasing my tail for a few hours But I have come out of it much smarter I like to think so I may not I may be I may be just as dumb as one I'm like I have not gained any knowledge of it and I misplaced a Saturday But I'm trying just to pay why I spent all this time on a Saturday like eight continuous hours working on something when you could Just Google it I could oh yeah Google Stack Exchange trust me everything There was so I had three screens full of tabs open and you know sorting out where all the data was going Yeah, it was wrong and chose shooting problems that turned out to be actually a processor problem oddly enough Yeah, so but interesting But now it's the more you know So more we know and everything taken apart on this table and back in the server rack and back out of the server I could put it all back the way it was when I found it So now we have a new plan, but part of it too is I it's not just the server migration With upgrading everything over to a 10 gigabit backplane I posted the picture that we're instead of gigabit with there's 10 gigabit So this is actually gonna be all on a 10 gigabit ice cuz he set up So like I said, there's gonna be there's a lot too everything I did and all the structure that I designed and knowledge I gained setting up ice because he and everything else is gonna be part of a whole bigger video of how to build your own Storage network with free nas and things like that. I wore the free nash shirt today not just because I spilled something on the other shirt, but because The free nas people are sending us a true nas box that should be here soon that we're gonna be testing and Doing some more fun free nas videos with that. We had they're sending us a fully loaded one to Destroy Essentially, so sweet. We get to test it not physically destroy it But just show some of the redundancy and resilience of raid and do things you always wondered could this thing survive it But I don't know if I want to pull that drive out right now We will pull a drive out as a matter of fact I may tie the server in if it has I think it has a 10 gigabit sand card in it And I may do part of my demo server on it as part of the video I'm like hey cool. I'll test it on actual tune ass one That might be kind of fun to play with so birds one stone two birds one stone So as you know last week I was at Microsoft ignite it was exhausting and fun And I had a great time That was just it was a wild adventure seeing how they manipulate and move 30,000 people around to all the different venues and talking to people. I'm I thought it was cool Some of the people that like we talked to at Microsoft that we report to so to speak because of the people across there So they lined up all the podcasts and gave us some of the schedule because I was there on the Microsoft show And I'm not afraid to Make some awkward faces in there, you know what I mean because I'm like I don't agree with Steve Palmer and things like that Like I brought up so to speak what you can call hot button or political topics in Microsoft But you know that's part of why we're there is not to just ask the same generic questions but to bring out some Difference of opinion and it's really interesting to see how they're embracing things. You're such a huge company I think people have a hard time understanding the scale of the company I mean to think that just an event around the company brings 30,000 people the scale of that company is pretty unimaginable I mean, it's very very their fortune 100. I believe so they may be fortune 50 Yeah, I mean I would think so. Yeah, I would absolutely think so and they have to be one of the Is Microsoft a fortune 100 company this thing where we can just answer stuff Yeah Yep, yep, yep fortune rankings. Well, we'll throw the actual results over again, but so but I 100 they're not 50 I don't know if they're fortune 50. They show up in the one So babies, I'll get the list and we'll throw that answer here later So I'm not gonna bore you with that But so the the imaginal scale of the company and things like that's really interesting and when it comes down to It comes down to a quote. I've always liked from Howard Stern Okay, and a Marvin's like I'm all yours now. I gotta hear it. I gotta hear it Howard Stern made a comment at one point where he said I I never want to meet the people I make fun of because I might like them and I think that's a It's so easy from the Forum posts we do of I hate Microsoft and we actually just got sent our last Sunday morning lecture view podcast The whole revolution OS and it really was this us versus them But we looked at Microsoft as them and we would tag at the time because of the arrow This was in the early 2000s late 90s. We tagged it as Bill Gates is the enemy So we had an enemy. We had a face we could put to it, but that face employs 100,000 more people and when you meet and do the individual stories like we were doing so what we concentrated on like We would start talking about them not Microsoft So we started with the person that we're interviewing talk about their personal. What are your? Thoughts on software development and things like that. So we make it very personal. It's not about what the company did It's about what they do. What is their hobby matter of fact that way? That's one of the reasons I covered the little build bunny project was that was one of the little side projects that Martin Woodward's working on so it's really cool and That's that's what's very interesting to me is you start breaking down I can't hate what I mean these people took a job at a company so they could have the resources to solve Big challenging things that is important to them in the software development Lifecycle and so they could have an influence on this big giant behemoth of a company So it's very interesting that oh, yeah, the company may believe one thing, but it's to change from within and people like Oh, no, you can't change from within That's how you change that's exactly how yeah, you can't just say we're just gonna turn the lights off on Microsoft That's not gonna happen you read or have all these people in place and share their stories And I may get other people excited and it's really interesting because there's some really heavy hitters from the open source community They've now taken positions at Microsoft and that of course has them taking a lot of crap from the open source community But they're kind of like they're principled people there They didn't go there because someone waved a check in front of them lots of places wave a check in front of these people They had an interest in steering the ship and changing some of the dynamics of the company So but it made a very interesting time there at the whole Microsoft Ignite conference So it was really cool to see everything and Experience a lot of stuff and all that fun. I'm sure it was and I was watching your videos and it looked very very cool Yeah, those fun conversations that some of us didn't get to go to anyways And I believe you were invited to another one correct we are we were we have a verbal but not in writing yet But it sounds like it's gonna happen. We're gonna be at the Microsoft connects conference in New York City So that's pretty exciting and why see and why I see going to the big Apple. I've been there in a while So that's that's kind of cool. You know, I think if I have time when I'm there I don't know what else I do on there like I want to maybe I'll meet and there's a few youtubers there And I thought about doing some of that reaching out to some other YouTube people That's something I like I want to connect with some of them I'm trying to find maybe a few home in tech that to connect with I Am friends with and we actually talked with though. I online we messaged each other we all know each other which is Willie Howe and From his channel and Chris from crosstalk solutions. They're both Really cool and we all have channels are very similar in size and the way we're moving things So we and him taught we all of us talked like we should celebrate because we're all on their way to that 100,000 mark is our goal. It's our goal. We're gonna hit there, but We all you know, I there are at least a few of my reached out to you But I want to reach out to even more of the YouTube community and things like that that are in the genre that I'm in Which is kind of niche tech stuff. I also want to do more hacking videos I did one yesterday that I posted on Wi-Fi D offing. I'm actually gonna order a few things, too I love the people over at hack 5. They have the bash bunny. They have the land turtle And the Wi-Fi pineapple and all kinds of fun things I might get some of their products and really talk about how they can be used with some of the interest in them It's just it's that's actually some of the side hobby stuff that I do myself is have a fascination and Breaking into people's Wi-Fi networks is a hobby of yours. No showing how it can be done and Showing how you can do a good market it. Yeah Doing it. I'm just showing you how you could do it Well, and I go a step further it should you choose to do this or should someone choose to do this to your network would be a better way to describe it because if you look at the title it's Wi-Fi D offing and how to protect against it Well, yeah, you have to know the process if you're gonna protect it, right? Yeah, you have to know the process you're gonna protect against it Someone to comment it because I know Chris did a video of Christian cross talk did one on the thing Which uses art spoofing and so I made you a video on how to protect your network against art poisoning art spoofing Which there's some limited ways you can do it, but there are methodology excuse me our methodologies you can do And that's some of the stuff. I want to I like some of those deep network Things and it's in my head. So why not share it with you? It's in my head. Why not get it out of my head? Did you call something that protects against art spoofing a garfunkel? Oh No, it's ARP whatever. Yeah, what their joke works if it's a RT the joke works if it's a RT I also got a new toy. Oh, yeah, we're actually playing with here. It's a GoPro in a Case like a aluminum thing one of those weird things I found on Craigslist of all places I was looking at this and this actually has a purpose. No, I like the camera. I'm using I love it And I know a lot of vloggers use it the problem really comes onto that's kind of bulky like Hats off to Casey Neistat. They carries a damn thing around so much and goes everywhere But I found it actually kind of troublesome to use so this being really small easily fits in my laptop backpack And I'm gonna be able to take it on site I'm gonna get another microphone because the GoPro supports external microphones and I'll have that as a small amount So it's something really easy for me to carry and I want to take it like when we do some of the onsite building work and Infrastructure works. I know there's a lot of interest in it And it's really weird. It's like I don't think of it as super interesting I mean, it's interesting, but I didn't realize you would find this interesting So I noticed when we did at least one small video. So we have a big project coming up if the man lift ever arrives Yeah, then we get to use a man. I'm supposed to be there. I love yeah I was supposed to be there a week ago Man lifts are cool. They are they really are especially when you're up like 30 feet and driving it. Yep. Awesome. It is I'm not doing that. Yeah, I get excited. I kind of like, you know in my staff I climbed up. I'm like, how do you drive it? They showed me and I'm like, I'm having a man left I'm like, wait a minute. I'm also paying for the man left. I should be able to drive it Yeah, right. There's still like the part of me that says I shouldn't be allowed to operate this even though I go rented it Like I don't really trust myself. It seems like I'm gonna do something done with this You paid the security deposit with that. I did drive it inside of a restaurant. That's pretty awesome That was pretty cool. I only moved a little bit. I was so nervous I'm like, there was this entire giant glass shelf of whiskey in this restaurant And we were putting why I say we my company was putting cameras up My staff was driving around giant bottles of glass shelves and whiskey driving a man lift through a restaurant at two in the morning You know those those are things I guess are kind of fun I guess sure maybe not everyone gets to do that. I'm a lot of fun doing it It's fun as long as you don't crash into the whiskey. Yeah, it's fun. It could be funny if you crash into the whiskey Well, we want it all on me. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's either gonna be an epic win or an epic fail video It's actually an epic win. So they did a good job with it if you crash into it Now you have a open case of whiskey Sorry We'll take care of that Look look look, you know, it's one of the things I I mean I really do enjoy all the variety of things So maybe you do too many things or whatever and I I think I've said this many times before I think the worst advice I ever get is to focus on one thing. I'm like that that sounds horrifically boring Do one thing what? You might get more done, but who cares about that? I like jumping between projects, you know The slack channels I'm jumping between is might be a wiring project a consumer Thing that I'm watching that's going on at the retail store Wi-Fi thing and then I've got my YouTube channel where I'm talking about hacking Wi-Fi And then I'm jumping back to doing infrastructure for cameras I'm fine with all these things because it just seems to fit my psyche better and makes me smile So by psyche he means mental illness You know my response and you know, I'm not nearly as successful as mr. Elon Musk, but my response is there's a dude who is revolutionizing solar panels While building cars that beat Ferraris that also seat four passengers While the same time making reusable rockets that land on floating platforms in the water I Can I'm not that scale, but I can appreciate the variety of things that he does and doing all of that Just so he can retire on Mars. Yeah, and he's a terrible plans Mars. Yeah, and you say you should only focus on one thing That's your thing cool. He's focused on one thing. He's going to Mars The guy is on the Mars all of these things are just to test out his various ways of getting and moving around on Mars Well, then there's his boring company His boring company. Yeah, that's what he named it the boring. Oh, he's boring tunnels So He wants to be able to go places faster. Yeah, cuz he's only traffic He can't be like the other billionaires just get a helicopter. Well, no cuz that's everybody else did yeah Elon's not like that He's like you go up. I go down. Ha ha Ziggins egg, buddy. Ziggins egg, buddy Ziggins egg. Yeah, so Tom brought back some cool toys. Oh, yeah, we got these from his conference Which is I haven't played with one of these in a long time. Whoa Well, there goes better to me that is gone. Whoops So we're gonna race these against the drone later. I think yeah. Oh We're gonna play with those Man, that's fun. Yeah, so I'll be updating the launch systems blog with links to all the videos and things like that I'm also the the other podcast that was on that was a guest on Monday was a security jabber and a Jabber about security kind of at a high level a third target audience might be somewhat technical but some of the decision makers in IT So if you're interested in listening and hearing me on the podcast just it's I believe a security jabber comm I'll throw links in there for it. I don't think the episode's published yet But it might be published by oh, maybe by the time I publish this I'm gonna message him if I know what it's gonna be online if you want to hear me jabber on about security Ah Great guys over there. There's some really smart people though. I pull up in one of the license plates red red team I'm like, yeah, there's security guys like through and through I love those are just great people for me to be around sir fun to talk to me talked about some Stuff one of the things that we did talk about that was kind of fun was the Ticket trick and what ticket trick is is a hacking method a guy came up with to get into companies help desks Which is just mind-blowing and really interesting Yeah, I tweeted about it. So if you follow me on the Twitter's oh, by the way, follow me on the Twitter's to be here It's also where I publish all this some of the other things too for those of you that because I realize I'm gonna run into a problem I think there's a number of friends I can have on Facebook. I think there's a limit Yeah, there is I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is a few thousand but yeah, and I so follow you They just can't be your friend. Right. Anyways, so if you're not into Facebook I try to post a lot on Twitter When I it's one of those I would post more about how my followers, but then I'm like, oh, yeah, if I don't post a lot I'm never gonna get followers. So chicken egg chicken egg chicken, right? Yeah And I'm like years behind like everyone else conquered Twitter long before Tom goes. What's a Twitter? Well, I knew what a Twitter was and then I just didn't go there Well, I aren't they they're upping the character limit. I think on Twitter. Yeah, they're doubling it I think now they are working on doubling it Apparently that's the help diplomatic relations other countries is my feeling That would be my be my thought Some countries don't know what dot dot dot means. Yeah It's more it means more to come just so you know. Yeah Exactly, but when you just read the thing there was that Twitter account Crap my dad says yeah, oh, yeah That that one was it wasn't really crap my dad says but you can fill in what yeah Yeah, but you go looking for it. I love that one when at one The dad asked it was my favorite. I'm not a big fan like that He tried to turn into a TV series of William Shatner. I think all fail I don't think it was very funny But there was a line that I loved and it would I could so picture my grandfather saying this, you know the son's like taking a picture of food and He's like, what are you doing? He goes posting a picture of my food online on Twitter He goes, why would you do that? And he goes? I realize he had me at that point There's no answer to that question I got Kind of felt that way by Twitter. Why would I only want to type 140 characters? I can type more everywhere else I go for some reason mentally. I said, yeah, I had my grandfather back here Why would you only post 140 was the Internet's bigger than that and I understand all the constraints I understand all the reasoning why and I understand was it Robert Frost and his typing poetry and constraints And he's got an entire write-up on that. I mean, it's all fascinating to me I get it but I still a bag even when it'd be BS days. I've been typing more than 140 characters I shall continue to do so Yeah, a little more long-winded than that a little bit more long-winded in that and with that we are wrapping up blog Thursdays There's like work to do and things to do and there's like stuff So we have some things to accomplish. All right, so you ready? Yeah. Yep. See ya Nailed it nailed it
