Been working with my daughter on writing her numbers. I asked her to write 1 thru 10 a few times. She wrote 1 thru 11. THAT is what I call giving it 110%.

How do we not have a CNI called Ethernetes

Making chocolate milk ice cubes with my daughter. Told her to write a “do not open” post it for the freezer while they freeze. This is what she wrote. So I’m pretty much gonna have to take the day off I guess…

My motto, every morning…

@network_phil Vendors have different interpretation and definitions of NaaS…Here’s how we define it…blogs.gartner.com/andrew-lerner/…

Lately I hear the term NaaS used by some vendors and analysts, but not really by actual network operators and network managers. That's just my experience, so do you think NaaS is really a growing trend in enterprise networking?

@Drew_CM @network_phil @EddieTheAnvil NaaS is packaging. NaaS is to networking as saas is to software. Vendor owns and operates it, and delivers a UI to a customer. Billed via consumption or subscription. It is nascent in the enterprise.

You get one config change on Friday at 5PM without repercussions and your least favorite IT manager is on call. What are you changing? 😂

@TracketPacer overused marketing term diluting the value true NaaS could enable. Fundamentally it’s a delivery mechanism for networking functionality. SaaS is to software as NaaS is to networking. Unfortunately way to much non-NaaS stuff is being pushed as NaaS. It’s a NaaSty situation.

hi hello. wtf is Network as a Service (NaaS)?

Just finished 3rd video call of the day only to realize my shirt is on inside out. Sadly this has happened before.

@TracketPacer Regex regret

just realized i haven’t used regex in over a year & now i’m sad

I knew it!

@SharpNetwork Happened to me a few times. One time, I didn’t see/hear it and the person I was on a work video call with had to inform me it was happening. Another time she proceeded to start eating it (surprise, free snacks!) before I could shutoff video and address the situation

My dog just yacked on the carpet during a call this morning. How's your Monday?

@H3KTlC Next stop (~10 years down the road) drinking water after 7pm is basically a non starter

I’ve officially reached the age where recklessness is drinking an espresso after 5 pm

What song perfectly describes your career as a network engineer?

@AndreKindness A blimp would be more efficient than carline

Need to dust off my college Gaussian queuing theory textbooks to figure out carline.

The inefficiency of carline is staggering.

@network_phil Power, cabling, config change

In your experience as an someone working in tech, what would you say are the [real] most common causes for network outages?
