It goes. Looking like a pretty quiet week. How's everyone liking/getting settled in Raleigh?

We love it. The house here is almost ready the way we want everything. And the house in Mount Airy is almost ready to go on the market.

I just hope it doesn't take too long to sell.

Glad to hear

My aunt/uncle/cousins have been there at least a decade now and they love it.

Why the move, Hef?

A couple of weeks. Two big weekend UHaul trips, along with assorted weekend trips back and forth.

Why the move, Hef?

My wife was unexpectedly let go from her job (IT security contract work with Hewlett Packard) in January. She was absolutely unable to find a comparable job within driving distance. She got an incredibly generous offer from a software company in Raleigh, so we moved. Gotta support the wife. And it's been great.

I had no idea your wife was in IT security.

Just installed Windows 98 on my virtual machine, ahhh the memories!!

I just installed Windows 7, Windows 2012, PFSense, Kali Linux, Backbox, and Metasploitable.

TAC · « **Reply #5188 on:** August 23, 2016, 02:12:05 PM »

That's great Hef! Did you have to find a new job, or could you transfer?

Security and audit. She is so awesome.

Found a new job. It all worked out perfectly.

TAC · « **Reply #5190 on:** August 23, 2016, 03:00:51 PM »

Nice!

Kotowboy · « **Reply #5191 on:** August 23, 2016, 03:04:53 PM »

I had an interesting day. Got up at 8am to ride my bike to the town 28 miles away. It was a gorgeous day so a nice drive.

Stuck behind a CAR doing 30 the entire way home - even in 70 mph limits. And it's all country back roads so no straights to over take.

So that was pretty boring. Eventually he pulled over and I got to actually accelerate

Later went down the beach.

Security and audit. She is so awesome.

Does she actually get her hands dirty or is she more involved in the political area of it?

axeman90210 · « **Reply #5193 on:** August 24, 2016, 07:42:48 AM »

Good morning all.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #5194 on:** August 24, 2016, 07:50:42 AM »

Good morning!

Prog Snob · « **Reply #5195 on:** August 24, 2016, 08:27:50 AM »

Morning

ReaperKK · « **Reply #5196 on:** August 24, 2016, 08:39:37 AM »

How is it going Prog?

Prog Snob · « **Reply #5197 on:** August 24, 2016, 10:24:19 AM »

I haven't slept yet, so I'm exhausted. Luckily I don't have work this week. What's going on with you?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #5198 on:** August 24, 2016, 10:52:00 AM »

Nothing much just heading to Fort Myers today with the girlfriend. She wants to spend some sister time and have me come along.

TAC · « **Reply #5199 on:** August 24, 2016, 11:46:56 AM »

Fort Myers? It's nice down there. My parents live in Cape Coral.

Throughout her history, a little of both. I think right now for this new company she is working more on audit and procedures, but I don't really know for sure. Every time she starts talking details, it's over my head and my eyes glaze over.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #5201 on:** August 24, 2016, 06:45:07 PM »

The political end of it is quite boring but the technical aspect is awesome.

How did that go?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #5202 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:20:49 AM »

Morning. Just smelling the coffee brewing this morning.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #5203 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:32:18 AM »

Morning king!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #5204 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:35:38 AM »

Howdy Blob! Just chilling. We've been driving everywhere this week. Today a little yard work then seafood at the beach.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #5205 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:48:17 AM »

I've spent all day sorting through 2Gb of free objects I downloaded from Turbosquid on a bender the other night.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #5206 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:53:12 AM »

I need to condense things down. You download and get lazy not moving them to the files you want them to be.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #5207 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:54:28 AM »

I almost understand that post. Almost.

Zydar · « **Reply #5208 on:** August 25, 2016, 05:57:47 AM »

He needs to get some of that coffee that's brewing.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #5209 on:** August 25, 2016, 06:59:31 AM »

I almost worried.

I have a separate hard drive. All the music downloads I need to transfer.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #5210 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:18:04 AM »

Morning. DT tickets purchased

Podaar · « **Reply #5211 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:23:42 AM »

Are you going to the Atlanta show, Hef?

[edit] Nevermind, I see that they are playing in Durham. [/edit]

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #5212 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:26:47 AM »

Durham for sure. I was pleasantly surprised at the ticket prices. And it's an awesome venue.

Podaar · « **Reply #5213 on:** August 25, 2016, 08:27:43 AM »

I also see that the pre-sale tickets are gone! Demand must be high.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #5214 on:** August 25, 2016, 11:00:37 AM »

That bodes well for potential future shows, I imagine. Which is awesome. My youngest daughter is looking forward to it, although she didn't really like The Astonishing all that much. But a "regular" show in the future will be right up her alley.
