Why the heck am I blogging and not vlogging?

-
So slightly off topic post here.

But why am I just doing a text blog?

BLOG John, really, How 2005 of me.   I know I know.

What I am doing is getting into the habit of doing this daily.   It is one of the things I teach people as a life coach.  Small changes make big impacts.   Make one little change at a time until it becomes a habit.  Practice what I preach is the big reason. I know a lot about technology and like helping people.  Daily is probably more often than I have time for but I don't like to half ass things.

Anyway, once I changed my first habit then make another small change, like obnoxious daily selfies in instagram.  (Yes really.)

And another change, like daily push ups.

And another, walking daily.

and another, tracking my calories in vs calories out.

Pretty soon, after 5 or 6 months or a year or two, you have completely change your life by building better habits.

This is another step in my journey towards my next phase of life. 

Thank you for sharing in this journey.

Virtualization: What is it and do I need it?

-
There is a lot of talk about Virtual Machines now but the reality is that it's not for everyone.  TLDR:  Do you play online or graphic intensive games? Don't use a VM.               Do you do heavy video editing or work?  Don't use a VM.               Do you browse on the web ALOT?  It might be a good idea to use a VM.               Do you watch a lot of porn? It might be a good idea to use a VM. Now, for a more in depth look at when and why to virtualize a computer.  Let's say you are heavily into gaming, but you want to keep your work stuff separate from your gaming stuff.  So on your Windows computer you create a Virtual Machine which is basically a computer within the computer.  Microsoft does this through a special service called Hyper-V which is just a fancy name for software based hardware. There are other virtual machine vendors out there like VMware, Virtual Box, Parallels. What a virtual machine does is create a virtual physical computer which you c

Smart Home tips.

Smart home technology is becoming ever more popular.  But everyone forgets about one key component that can ruin your experience.  Your home router.   Most people who are not tech savvy use their providers router.   These are typically capable of handling up to 6 devices without major slow downs.   Once you add that 7th device, things become sluggish.  Add 8 and your network may seem downright slow.    My home has about 18 devices 7-12 of which are active all the time.   I use a mid-high end ASUS router with 8 antenna and 3 networks across multiple channels.   I divide my traffic up by putting TV's, Lights, and other appliance types on 1 network.    I put computers, desktop and laptops on the second wireless network. And my phones and kids tablets are on the third network.   I also have an Akita Smart home Monitoring device in addition to my routers packet inspection and firewall features.    I also enable all the default firewall capabilities of every device (where applicable).  F

Is it possible to have to much security?

-
Part of me really wants to say No, there is no such thing as to much security.  But the reality is that there is such a thing as too much security! What, but in this age of digital everything, Equifax, target, Facebook hacks/leaks how can there be too much security? Simple! When it drastically impedes your ability to do your fu(k!ng job, it is to much security. I was troubleshooting a networking issues for my day job a couple months back and it took 8 people at 6 companies to identify on which network segment and what piece of equipment was the source of the problem.  There were, routers, switches, and firewalls from different vendors and different networks all looking at packet traces to figure out which stupid piece of equipment was responsible because there were so many different layers of security and routing.  (8 firewalls in between.) This is what I'm talking about.   IT WAS NOT NECESSARY.  All those extra layers of firewall and routing were completely unnecessary f
