@rdcumby step one has got to be to get out of the office
Looks like your wish was granted quickly @ndroftheline. twitter.com/vbrownbag/stat…
@BitsandGuns True. As many stops as you’ve made in solution exchange for me, I’ve got no complaints. Hope experience is treating you well.
Today’s class question, “Can Jeremy remember enough Python syntax to make it through today’s demos?” #TuneInNow
Upside: @VMwareEdu posted another new class today (or at least really recently). Downside: still not the class I’m looking for. #EUC #Design
@LiquidwareLabs only good on-site?
So @BitsandGuns explores the trade floor and I fix printer issues… :)

@jacobisbell confirmed that it was an intentional reboot? There >=1 known bug in the virtual desktop world that cause unexpected reboots.
@ndroftheline my first thought was to make sure @jacobisbell had graduated from #TnTech just to make sure it wasn’t me doing something bad.

Of course I did once watch @elbrownmcne almost walk out in front of a bus and make good on this one. #CloseCall
Just how far down does “hit by a bus” actually rank for cause of death in the IT field? #SomeoneHasToHaveAStudy #FreeThesisIdea
“Hit by a bus” as been the fear of IT pros for as long as I’ve known. What event in early comp history seeded this? twitter.com/Pinboard/statu…
@Pinboard for someone who takes such an unconventional approach to running a business, hit by a bus seems like such a cliché way to go.

@RonOglesby had an exciting chat chat with @cmidgley and @AbernathyAndrea today, so totally agree.
Also to the fine folks at @UnideskCorp, I could totally get use to reading documentation with the phrase “Unidesk API”. #JustSaying
Continuing cool things fast, @UnideskCorp posts multi-site layer copy (kinda a big deal) after close of business, being all “no big deal.”

@tarajwillis @mkbaldwin21 @mattwillis also makes sense for the deck to win as it plays every hand vs each of you playing every other hand.
@tarajwillis @mkbaldwin21 @mattwillis ok, makes sense. Might be interesting to add a deck player to 3 player as well.
Can’t help but feel that an error message I’ve never seen before appearing in our VDI environment isn’t the best way to start off the week.

@mattwillis In general I don’t even find 3 person apples to apples all that enjoyable, but will try to keep an open mind.
A) That’s just how we roll. B) Things do get a touch confusing when new messages come in.
Ongoing discussion with friends, subject line is a date in June, current discussion is dinner plans for some unknown date in the future.

@nicolibrarian don’t leave out magic eight balls! Also, I feel like this post-it is missing the “pull harder” option.
Obviously the fling itself isn’t supported, but what does that mean for the things it touches.
Probably one of my biggest issues with @vmwflings is exactly what’s come in in the VMFork fling discussion. Lack of clear support boundary.
However, being a @vmwflings, there are still some limitations. @hypervisor_fr’s replies to the original, point these out nicely.
