Sniffer Infinistream training

My work is sending me to some Sniffer Infinistream training. The last sniffer class I got a lot out of, I am no longer wasting anyones time with telling them I think this is a problem, can you look at it too!! For those of you that do not know the Sniffer Infinistream is like a Tivo for network sniffers, Streaming raw data right off the monitored line to a disk array. You can go back in time to when the issue occured and take a look to see what the issue is (Hopefully). I have been using it for about a year, and with little or no training, I am fairly handy, however I never refuse training as I may pick up that one little thing that puts something together for me.

Fantasy Football is Crazy

The first two weeks of the season is when you learn how to win your league. Week three is critical, hopefully you have won at least one game by now. if not the season is not over. 20 years ago, I lost my first three, and then went on to win a playoff spot and eventually win the Superbowl. that was the last strike year, it almost broke out newly formed league. What happens is that the first two weeks tell you where your Draft strategy went wrong, and where you are right. Lots of the other guys are going to be telling you that you need to try and make a trade, try and get someone you think will be doing good the second half of the season (ONLY TWO GAMES? WHATS all the talk about 2nd half). and make a low ball offer to get said goods for cheap! Sound wonderful, if you think you got someone in your league that will go for that fine, do it. The leagues that I play in are probably more realistic, in that nobody is going to trade Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, for some wide receiver that you ...

League A Draft Results

My team Holdovers: LT and Ronnie Brown When my first round pick came up, I was going to take Reggie Wayne as I saw it, he would be the best available player on the board. As I had two RB already, I was looking to get a TOP WR. I always script the first round and into the second round up to my Second Pick. Here is what I scripted and the second name is who they actually took Pick Team Scripted Pick Selected Player 1 One Manning or Jackson Jackson (I heard late that he was going with Jackson) 2 Two Jackson or Manning Manning (Last year She picked Maroney with the 5th over all pick, so I have no Idea how she drafts, except that I knew she could not pass on Manning. 3 Three Larry Johnson he created a draft list for the computer to draft from. and has been out of town for some time, so he could not chance anything else here, (I nailed this one) 4 I slated him for Adrian Peterson, as he is a big Viking fan and has been ...

Fantasy Football Drafts

I have my Fantasy football league drafts tonight. I will update the site with Details on who each team selects as the night goes on. In League A I have the 12th pick of 14. (with 2 player restricted holdover) The two Player restriction is that you can hold over any two players from last year and one additional year, so you can have someone for a total of three years MAX. or you can holdover anyone knew each year. I was fortunate enough to play poor enough to earn a spot in the six team Toilet bowl (I was one win short of making the playoffs) and then I won the toilet bowl which in turned earned me the right to the first pick of the draft, I chose LaDanian Tomlinson. That was two years ago, so this is the last time I get to hold him over. My second holdover is Ronnie Brown, it was a tough choice, and when the deadline was near, there was no talk of him sharing carries with Chatman. So with my twelfth pick, I think that Reggie Wayne will be available and I will take him, unless somethin...
