A Success, A New Hope!

After battling tremendously with several re-installations, several re-configurations, several RAID and disk partitioning, and after many hours of "saying" what to do?", how to do it? .. finally, it's over and we won! It is truly another big achievement for me to become a part of this group of enthusiast of our company's new proprietary product. Virtualization is common nowadays and I really enjoyed the moments of finding thoughts trying to figure out what we were doing wrong. I asked GOD to give us a way to know these configuration stuff without a need for extensive mentoring sessions. GOD said, "I will let you share with the knowledge I gave to your co-employees who are staying four floor levels down the building!" In short, we had a one hour classroom mentoring and brainstorming performed with some of our test engineering folks. :) 

      

Cold temperature every night these days...

What we learned from this brainstorming really helped us a lot and it answered our perplexing over an initially uncooperative setup. I can feel the self-ordained pressure but the victory is on me because of the LORD JESUS CHRIST! I am also thankful to a co-worker who helped me move forward. It is a new venture, a great learning which I would like to share with others next week. Help me LORD to create a new study material for my co-employees as an echo-training is needed to be conducted. I am happy to learn with them and to share what I have achieved in my career. I am so grateful to GOD for all the things He let me experienced, for all the wonderful people I met along this great journey and I am looking forward to making things happen for others as well. :) 

Today is a happy day! Oh! A so happy day!!

                                                                                     

The Mandatory ID :(

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."  -Revelation 13:16-18

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by and read at short ranges (a few meters) via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction), and then act as a passive transponder to emit microwaves or UHF radio waves (i.e., electromagnetic radiation at high frequencies). Others use a local power source such as a battery, and may operate at hundreds of meters. Unlike a bar code, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader, and may be embedded in the tracked object.

RFID tags are used in many industries. An RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line. Pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses. Livestock and pets may have tags injected, allowing positive identification of the animal. On off-shore oil and gas platforms, RFID tags are worn by personnel as a safety measure, allowing them to be located 24 hours a day and to be quickly found in emergencies.

Since RFID tags can be attached to clothing, possessions, or even implanted within people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised privacy concerns.

European babies are the first to get the RFID chip from May 2014. I am a little baffled though why this new tiny invention has to go inside a human's body. RFID can control or can be controlled. What lies ahead of this super-invention is unfathomable. One thing is sure though, RFID chip can control the brain faster than the blink of an eye. I don't feel great about this. People must prepare and be aware that something NOT GOOD, that something people have not experienced before is going to happen soon.

I admit I was lacking. I did not strive harder to do this training or simply I forget it purposely. I would say indeed, and definitely not true. I love anything about computers, networking and troubleshooting, thus I won't intentionally leave the books inside the box. I needed to complete my online training until March of this year and I have to do it fast. It is like I am running out of time. My sincerest apologies to my manager in Bradenton that I was so slacking on this one. I should have given more time and yet I just let it pass by. This scenario is a scene in my college days where you will feel that it is always a cramming day. You won't do anything but just face your books, hold hands with your techpen, become friends with your notebook and just simply live your schooling world with them. I think somehow, I need to become a college student again. I would say, "DO NOT DISTURB" in my room or in our room. Anyhow, I must do this because like I said, I do love the topics of this online training. All I can say is OH help me LORD, to finish them on time and that I will be able to learn a lot to apply them in my work.
