שבועי

In the South, food and music go hand in hand. They define much of what we think of as Southern culture, and they say a lot about our past, our present, and our future. Each week, Sid Evans, Editor in Chief of Southern Living, sits down with musicians, chefs, and other Southern icons to hear the stories of how they grew up, what inspires them, and why they feel connected to the region. Through honest conversations, Sid explores childhood memories, the family meals they still think about, and the intersection of food and music in their lives. Always surprising, always engaging, Biscuits & Jam is a celebration of the South—and the people who are moving it forward every day. New episodes every Tuesday.

Overview Ticketing systems allow us to collect, assign and report on specific tasks I consider a basic ticketing system a necessity for any IT team Centralized Request Management What happens if someone is out sick or on vacation? How do you check the status of an open request that you aren’t working on? All requests should be centralized Support Contact Methods Email Call Website Chat Walk-ups Team Workflow Who reviews new requests (triage) Do you have specific people for specific applications, or support tiers based on complexity? Do you need to work with other departments or vendors at times? Automation Auto-Response for new requests to confirm receipt and set expectations Notifications Emails/Text messages sent to requester & agents as needed Escalation New request actions Request due date actions Reporting & Metrics Agent activity report Most troublesome systems Total support requests per week/month/year This can show the need for more staff Use Cases Internal IT team Customer Support Team Facilities Management Team Procurement/Purchasing Team Final Thoughts Any system you can put in that reduces the opportunity for mistakes is recommended As with any technology or software it will only work as well as your processes.

Take time to grow your people skills, public speaking and project management abilities. You may need to switch employers a few times to get the necessary experience, or to land your desired role No one should be holding you back, but don’t rush it. Be realistic about your experience level. You are in control of your own career. Yes you can just coast and it won’t really effect you much up front, but what do you want to be doing in 5 years, or 10 years. If you are not working towards that now it will most likely never occur.

Installing VMware ESXi 6.5U2 to use as the basis of my home lab. I was planning on installing ESXi 6.7, but they have release new CPU requirements that my lab servers is not compatible with. My server is a HP ML350 G6 with 2X XEON E5530 Quad Core CPUs and 48GB of RAM. Any fairly recent computer could work and it does not need to be server class hardware. You will want fast storage and as much RAM as possible. Fast storage will give you better performance for the VMs and more RAM will allow you to have more VMs running at the same time allowing for more complex lab environments. If possible multiple network adapters is a plus. I am using a Crutial 500GB SSD to host my virtual machines and a 32GB SD card to boot ESXi. I have a included another 500GB non-SSD drive in the server for generic storage like install media. The install media from ESXi is freely available with VMware account. https://my.vmware.com/ You will be downloading an ISO that can then be burned to a CD.
