Booh yah! Show me your moves!

#101

I got ESXi running on the computer I got from Scott and now I have a Palo Alto enterprise firewall VM running my whole house.

#102

Had a blast at my gyms New Years party. Got thoroughly shit housed and won a tablet at bingo.

#103

WEā€™ll have to talk about this sometime, I have been interested in learning more about Palo Alto firewalls :slight_smile:

#104

This reply doubles as my Boo-yah. My team came in 4th at the Regional CCDC (Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition)!

@GeorgePatches @cremlian
As for Palo Alto, they were a sponsor so we had to use them in the competition. All Iā€™m going to say is that you definitely want to stay up to date. The Red Team walked into that thing like it was a door even on the up to date version of PANOS 7. Definitely go to at least 8.06-h3.

#105

Iā€™m playing with the shiny new 8.1.0. :sunglasses:

The competition sounds like a lot of fun.

#106

Nice. Yeah it was super stressful but fun and I learned a lot. Also pretty good validation that Iā€™m in the right field as I was the only person in the competition to keep one of the red team guys out.

#107

When youā€™re done with college, let me know if youā€™re interested in the exciting world of government cyber defense. :wink:

#108

After waiting on the virtual line for 8 hours and 42 minutes, I have successfully purchased 4 tickets to Hamilton at the Kennedy Center!

#109

I keep seeing Hamilton tickets in my area but theyā€™re all for places that are selling only group ticket (10-20 people) or for season ticket holders! Iā€™m really tempted !

#110

Yes. These theaters that arenā€™t in NYC make all their money from season subscribers. When Hamilton started traveling they decided to make a season package required. Just like when GameStop and Best Buy make a new video game console only available in a bundle with crap you donā€™t want.

#111

Three more days, then my first non-con, traveling vacation in a long time!

#112

I finished my paralegal certificate program and my final grades came in, 3.75 GPA! Now for the terrifying prospect of finding work with zero relevant experience to put on my resume. :anguished:

#113

I made my first person ragequit a reddit thread! (I mostly lurk there)

#114

Finally got an interview! Hopefully this will go well!

#115

Since I have to move I was looking for an apartment. Saw one this morning in the most popular Craigs-list type of website in austria. Visited late in the afternoon and its fantastic, comes with a kitchen including dishwasher and stove, a walk-in wardrobe, parking space out front, the cellar space that comes with it is furnished with a bunch of closets so you can store stuff without dust getting in too much, and it fits perfectly into my price range. I thought about it and talked it over with a close friend right after, then immediately called back asking for a draft of the rental agreement.

#116

Hope we donā€™t see a post next week about a cockroach infestation. Good luck!

#117

Thank you, but the place seemed extremely clean. Also I canā€™t move in until August 1st anyway.

Iā€™ll document everything before moving there just to ensure myself about how things look before I move in, and will probably post the images here for the before and after when I complete the move and have my stuff set up.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I didnā€™t have to go through a real estate agent, which also saves me a bunch of money compared to other apartments I was looking at.

#118

I get to start summer vacation tomorrow night! Iā€™m not looking forward to hauling my bike on a busy summer Chinese train, but at least itā€™s not a traditional holiday. Once thatā€™s done with, Iā€™ve got ~6 weeks to bum around Hokkaido and Tohoku on said bike, and probably a bit around Nagoya/Gifu and Osaka to visit friends.

#119

I am out of Japan till the 4th of August but if your in Gifu/Nagoya give me a shout and we can grab a beer.

#120

Iā€™ll probably be down that way around the 20th, so that sounds like a plan. We could even go haul stones up the mountain if itā€™s in time for that festival.
