Today is a very slow day. Ordinarily, I'd be using the company-paid #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning subscription to learn more about #MSAzure, #AWS, #PowerShell, or even #PHP.
I take courses on both #Microsoft and #Amazon clouds, but never #Google, #IBM, #CenturyLink / #Lumen clouds. I need to look into those clouds.

@geniusmusing Years ago, I was working on some #Java stuff. Seemed to be more complicated than necessary, but many of the things I was using at the time (XMPP server, various client / desktop software, Tomcat) were Java based.
Then three things happened:
1. $EMPLOYER made a strong turn into the Microsoft ecosystem, displacing most of the Java apps we used
2. ${NYSE[ORCL]} bought Sun … and got Java, MySQL, and Solaris, along with a few other things. As expected, Oracle’s changes were overwhelmingly negative … but then, Sun was having trouble making money, while Oracle probably owns the US Mint.
3. Soon after Oracle’s takeover, some really severe security holes started appearing in Java, eventually resulting in Java’s removal from browsers far earlier than notoriously insecure Flash’s removal
I don’t trust Microsoft much more than I trust Oracle, so Microsoft’s Java replacement ( C# ) is mostly out of bounds for me, though I like much of what I see in #PowerShell.

"... in an environment where their brain is constantly intellectually stimulated"
I mostly had this during college and university, but it has always been rare in the workplace. I used to take on more challenging tasks and try to script them (using #KiXtart, or occasionally #VBScript or #PowerShell), but $EMPLOYER is now afraid that we'll damage the network with scripts, so I don't get much brain stimulation at work anymore.

Did you *start* any education or training program?
No. I've been doing #PHP and #PowerShell courses for over a year on the employer-paid #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning site ( formerly #Lynda.com ), so even adding more courses on different sites isn't so much "starting" as it is moving my emphasis.
#Cal-EDD form. For what it's worth, I just checked "No." and didn't add the rest of it.
-
Logging into the $EMPLOYER laptop to download updates, check e-mail, view some more course videos ( #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning courses on #PHP and #PowerShell ) ... Not sure what it is doing right now, but it is slower than a senior citizen with a walker.
-
Did not go to #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning, so no #PowerShell or #PHP today.
-
Ran updates on the $EMPLOYER iPhone and laptop. Did not log into #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning (so no #PHP or #PowerShell today), too much was going wrong ... did not want to add yet another factor.
-
What I didn't do today:
* call to have my $EMPLOYER cell phone replaced
* log into my $EMPLOYER laptop to run updates
* log into #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning to complete some #PHP and #PowerShell training
-
More #PowerShell on the $EMPLOYER #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning account.
At the site now respects my do not autostart next video preference. All those years as #Lynda.com and until recently under its new name, I'd have to manually set that each time I logged in.

Objects, properties, methods in #PowerShell
"Understanding the importance of objects" (current chapter of this #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning course).

Today was supposed to be $EMPLOYER day ... log into the agency laptop, connect to the network, run updates and attend to all agency business, take #PHP and #PowerShell courses on #Lynda.com —> #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning. It is almost 11:00 PDT and I have started none of that yet.
-
Updates finally installed. I did not log into #Lynda.com / #LockedOut Learning / #LinkedIn Learning and watch #PowerShell & #PHP videos today.
Speaking of PHP videos, does anyone have a recommended video series for PHP and the frameworks CodeIgniter, Symfony, Laravel ?

"It may take him a while ..."
.
This instructor uses "him" in places where people have always used "it". #PowerShell has no sex or gender. It is an it.

Finishing today's #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) and preparing to log into the $EMPLOYER laptop to install updates and go through some #PowerShell and #PHP courses on the #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning (former #Lynda.com) site.
This morning is the 2nd consecutive upweight (2lb in 2 days), despite getting nearly 10K steps in the various stores that I visited yesterday.
#TZAG everyone.
-
Good morning and #TZAG. It is 08:30 PDT. For the second day in a row, scale says I’m upweight by 0.2 lb. I think I’m not getting enough walking with all the driving and standing in lines at supermarkets.
Today is my “log into the $EMPLOYER laptop and run updates and take #Lynda.com / #LinkedIn Learning / #LockedOut Learning classes” day.
Let’s see what wonderful #PowerShell techniques I’m not allowed to use today.
-
Updated work passwords. Probably going to go on #LinkedIn Learning to finish a couple of #PowerShell courses. Not that there's any way for someone with no #LockedOut account to retain independent verification of completing them.
-
Doing another "LinkedIn Learning, formerly Lynda.com" #PowerShell course. This one is actually interesting and informative. But since I don't touch the company #Win10 machine very often, I'm not actually practicing what it covers.
-
Practicing some #KiXtart and #PowerShell scripting because other than organization leadership arguing, there’s really nothing going on today.
#Lynda.com became #LockedOut Learning ... twice as garbagified as before, but $EMPLOYER pays for it.

What I meant by my reply to @moonman is that he’s messing around and trying things in an admin #Powershell shell. Once he’s sure he’s got something workable, sure — run it as administrator — but until then, he probably shouldn’t.
OTOH, later in the series, he’s remote desktopping into a Sharepoint server in an admin account already, so he’s already playing in a minefield. At that point, trying to run PS as a limited user is a waste of time.

Watching an introductory video on #Powershell and the instructor says one should always run PS with admin rights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHrGresKu2w
What ever happened to using the absolute minimum set of rights that will allow you to accomplish the task at hand? This reminds me of running Internet Explorer as admin, because certain internal sites for IT are only accessible that way. #stupid
