In the last episode of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke explore the story behind a confidential letter in the SBC'S archives that leads to a pastor's wife named Maria. They also look at the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to expel churches that ordain women, critiquing the rhetoric of unity and biblical authority used to justify the exclusion of women from leadership roles Last, the episode draws on the lost portrait of Saint Fabiola as a symbol of women's enduring resistance, urging listeners to recognize the hidden stories of women who continue to challenge oppressive structures in the church. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

In Episode 4 of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke share the story of Christa Brown, a sexual abuse survivor and advocate. Her experience reflects the broader issue of clergy abuse, where victims are often silenced and blamed, while abusers are protected and transferred to new congregations. The episode also highlights Pooler's research on the harmful psychological impacts of clergy sexual abuse, including PTSD rates higher than those of combat veterans, and the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) ongoing failure to protect victims. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

In Episode 3 of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke explore the "loopholes" that allowed women to serve in ministry within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), despite the formal prohibition against female ordination. These loopholes included roles like professors, missionaries, and pastor's wives, which allowed women to take on leadership and preaching roles in practice, even though they were not officially recognized as ordained ministers. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

In Episode 2 of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke uncover the turbulent and hidden history of women in the Southern Baptist Convention. The story begins in the 1970s, an era of progress and pushback, and follows the journey of Kathy Hoppe, an ordained woman whose call to ministry intersected with a calculated takeover of the SBC. What happens when conviction collides with politics, and how do women respond when their calling is questioned? This episode reveals the invisible threads tying women's resilience to a denomination shaped by control and conflict. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

In the debut episode of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke aim to uncover women's stories hidden in the Southern Baptist Convention's archives. The story begins in an unexpected place for a podcast about Southern Baptists: 4th-century Rome with Saint Fabiola. Because Fabiola challenged religious and societal norms, her story has become a safe harbor for women with similar experiences… even women in the SBC. Fast forward to 1984, where a pivotal moment in Kansas City, Missouri, changed the trajectory of women's roles in the Southern Baptist Convention. There's a reason Orwell warned us about 1984. Listen to Episode 1 to find out more. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

Savannah Locke introduces All the Buried Women, a compelling new miniseries that uncovers the hidden stories of women within the archives of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). What started as a small passion project grew into a year-and-a-half journey into the history of America's largest Protestant denomination. Together, historian Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke are bringing to light the experiences of women silenced by their own denomination and the systemic forces that enabled their marginalization.

Colin Jones and partner Neil Fisher founded WeldWerks Brewing Company in 2014 in a long-vacant property just off Highway 85 in Greeley. Neil had been a talented homebrewer for years, and Colin was the Director of Technology at Flood and Peterson Insurance prior to the founding.  Soon, both were full-time and more at Weldwerks, and they buckled up for a high-growth journey from there - growing production and revenues at an average rate of over 100% per year!  An early focus on systems and processes built the foundation for that growth, and represents well Colin's special sauce throughout his career.  Colin's entrepreneurial journey started early, with a computer sales and service company called PC Pros in Wichita, Kansas while he was still in college.  After a 3 year run the market had changed, Dell had arisen as a powerful force in the industry, and Colin exited the business and moved into his professional career as a Systems Administrator for IMA Insurance in Denver, and later to Flood and Peterson in Northern Colorado.  As a Director in the firm, Colin was at the table for all technology decisions, but also came to understand the entire client journey, and built a comprehensive understanding of the business model.  He applied those skills and learned many more at WeldWerks, has transitioned out of the company and is investigating his next adventure.  Do you love beer, business, and people? - then you'll love this episode, and I hope you'll tune in for my conversation with Colin Jones, and share it with your beer-loving friends! Episode Sponsor: InMotion, providing next-day delivery for local businesses.

Welcome to the final leg of our EDI Series! We've covered the different documents in the sales cycle, and it's time to discuss the best tips to ensure a successful implementation, putting all of these various documents and requirements in place with your system.  ✔ Having a competent project manager is crucial to ensure your EDI initiatives are conducted as smoothly as possible. The key person will keep track of documents, maintain an organized system for all trading partners, and ensure that a clear onboarding checklist is adhered to. ✔ Bringing on a new trading partner brings about working with different documents. Understanding each trading partner's timeline expectations and sharing information within the organization is imperative to ensure a stress-free and successful onboarding process.  ✔ Adding an EDI layer to your system is more than just an IT endeavor. Its successful implementation requires a collective effort that involves customer service, warehouse, and accounting departments. As outside consultants, our role is to help each of these departments to ensure that the project goes according to plan. ✔ Our senior consultant Shawn Sissenwein recommends the following points to consider in preparation and ensure that the project runs smoothly: ➡ Have an internal team in place and their roles defined ➡ Begin to formulate a forecast ➡ Provide a timeline of steps that must happen throughout the project ➡ Communicate clearly all of the objectives that need to be addressed These steps ensure the project implementation runs seamlessly. Learn more in this new episode of

It is essential to catch and address price discrepancies on the EDI documents to save us time and potential headaches. Without this proactive approach, we may find ourselves on the wrong side of a credit memo or short pay when the trading partner bases their payment on the invoice they sent.  ✔️ The 810 document is essential in order to process the sale of an invoice. By creating this document, you gain access to important information from both sides of the transaction.  In this new episode of

In this episode, Shawn Sissenwein discusses the 850 Purchase Form, the most common problems people experience, what you can do to prevent them, and the important components that you should remember. Essential points covered in this episode: ✔️ Accurately map the right numbers. The 850 Purchase Form contains important data, such as vendor numbers, UPC numbers, and manufacturing part numbers. Ensure that you've got them all correctly in Business Central to avoid sending out erroneous information to your trading partners. ✔️ Discrepancies can be fixed. They are inevitable, but you can still do your research and find out the correct number. Issues will have an “Error” alert or an inaccurate self-generated number. ✔️ Pay attention to the purchase order. It can contain specific routing information or even special instructions. The item might be a gift for someone or something that requires you to add value.  ✔️ The most common error is the wrong item number for the product. Sometimes, descriptions from your vendors are also different from what you have in your system. Agree with your partners to use a common item number. ✔️ The basic components of the 850 Form are: PO number Receiver's name Bill-to and ship-to addresses Special instructions Item description Total amount After helping companies for 20+ years improve their business processes with Dynamics Business Central / NAV, it's easy to think one would get a little blasé about the work.

Welcome to Season 6 of Get Your New View! For this season, we'll be focusing on key documents used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), common errors users experience, and tips and tricks to make the most out of them. In the first episode of the EDI series, we have Shawn Sissenwein walking us through the 846 Inventory Availability Form. Learn what it's about, the problems you may encounter, and how to use it. Essential points covered in this episode: ✔️ The 846 Inventory Availability Form is crucial. Your trading partners use this resource to get up-to-date information on how much inventory you have in your physical store or website. No more unfulfilled orders and insufficient inventory.  ✔️ Don't show all your inventory. Identify how much you'll display on your website or physical store. Showing only a certain percentage helps prevent outages and having insufficient stocks. How often you send this out also matters. ✔️ Ensure pricing is accurate. The 846 Form contains crucial numbers to track and trace orders. Make the most out of it. Double-check the prices for a seamless transaction with your trading partners. ✔️ The 846 Form has key components. These include: Vendor number Part number UPC number Pricing On-hand quantity Get access to a sample file on our website. https://getyournewview.com After helping companies for 20+ years improve their business processes with Dynamics Business Central / NAV, it's easy to think one would get a little blasé about the work.

"The Adventure of the Yellow Face" from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, narrated by Alex Gallegos. "If it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper ‘Norbury' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you.” Born and raised in Colorado, Alex Gallegos moved to Iowa in 2015. He fell in love with the audio format of storytelling after hearing the original War of the Worlds broadcast, and about the power it held to create imagery in the audience's mind unmatched by any conceivable feat of cinematography - even by today's standards. By day, he is a Systems Administrator, tinkering with computers, technology, and software, but by night, he is... actually pretty much the same thing, just paid less to do it once he's off the clock.

On Saturday November 6, 2021, I had the opportunity to chat with Alem Abreha, who is a Systems Engineer, with more than 10 years of experience in Infrastructure, Service Reliability Engineering, Tooling/Automation and DevOps. He started his career as a Systems Administrator in Unix and Linux operating systems while he was in College (Mekelle University). He is now a Lead Systems Engineer at Mulesoft (a Salesforce Company). Alem walked us through his tech journey starting from his school year to where he is now.  He also shared us about his startup that he worked on. Alem is the founder & CEO of Gooday™. He founded it in 2019, Gooday Online is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The word "Gooday", while it has a well intentioned meaning in English, also means "business" or "errand" in Amharic, spelled 'ጉዳይ'. I would like to thank Alem for his time and willing to share us his tech journey. I want to also thank our audiences who were listening to us and those who participated in the Q&A. Please listen to our full conversation to get more perspective and discover his journey.

Episode 4 (Marine 0651>0689 to Cyber Pro) Host: Jon *** I am an active duty Marine, and any opinion expressed on this show is my own and is not military regulation or policy. *** Talk About The Episode: Jack Reedy ***Any opinion expressed is my own and not of any organization I am a part of*** Enlisted into the Marine Corps in 2009. 0651: Data Systems Administrator & 0689: Information Assurance Technician Currently is the Director of Cybersecurity Content at INE. Talk With The Guest: He had no prior experience before the Marine Corps, built his IT career, and then transitioned into a Cybersecurity (then Information Assurance) role. Since exiting military service, he has worked for the DoD, Sony Music and now works for INE. His favorite subject, or technology, he works with: Hands-on keyboard: Incident response None execution-oriented: Gannt Charts, more specifically project management. What helped him get to where he is today: His experiences with leadership, not just him in those roles, but leaders he had as well. Advice for Military transitioning out: Remember, you're worth it. We constantly build value around what we do within a workplace environment, and transitioning can be especially rough. Don't be afraid to leave the government umbrella and not use the security clearance. Build a professional network. Emerge yourself in the culture of whatever you choose to do so that you can pick up those skill sets.

Sitting down with Marcus J. Ranum, Author of "The Myth of Homeland Security" and credited with a number of innovations in firewalls and intrusion detection systems, as well as being a co-founder at Tenable. We take a look at some of his predictions that date back to 2004 and earlier. We also look at Cybersecurity through the lens of reliable systems. If the system can be relied on then one would argue that it is probably secure. Ultimately it comes down to a properly motivated Systems Administrator who is focused on solving root problems and not just adding another layer of proverbial Duct tape.

My guest is Eduardo Velandia. Eduardo came to the US in 1987 to seek a better future for himself and his family. A Colombian Navy veteran and Information Technology major from the Colombia School of Engineering, Eduardo started his mental health industry career as a Systems Administrator in Florida. After gaining experience in the IT field, he was hired by a multinational software company based in Pittsburgh, PA, called Internet Securities, Inc. He led the opening of the Santiago, Chile operations. Eduardo then moved back to Florida and worked as a Support Engineer for the Digital Data A publishing subsidiary of Dalai Software from Mexico, where he traveled all over the US and Latin America, integrating Editorial and Advertising systems for newspapers. One of Dalai's clients, The Tribune Company in New York, saw Eduardo's knowledge and capabilities and decided to hire him directly as their IT Director for Hoy Newspaper in New York City. He was a key player during Hoy's expansion to other markets like Chicago and LA. Tribune Company decided to relocate Eduardo to Los Angeles, CA with his family to oversee the Hoy IT operations nationwide in 2003, working from the LA Times. After a challenging year for Hoy in LA, Eduardo was laid off and was out of a job. Then he decided to use his expertise in the IT field and open his own IT Consulting firm, EV-Consultech, Inc., in 2004. He realized the need for small businesses to have a technology partner to help them with their IT needs while business owners run their businesses. Today, Eduardo and his team support over 30 companies in the Greater LA Area and other states, providing onsite and remote IT Support, Cybersecurity, Cloud Services, Backup and Disaster Recovery, and many other IT services. Eduardo brings his technical expertise by creating innovative solutions for his clients, leveraging partnerships with industry leaders, and looking for ways to maximize his clients' ROI. When Eduardo is not busy with technology, he volunteers for a non-profit organization by collecting computer donations repurposed and then handed over to low-income kids and families in the LA area. During the weekends, he enjoys cooking and hiking in Pasadena's trails with his family and playing tennis with his teenage daughter. www.ev-consultech.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardovelandia/ Credits: Smart money intro Traveler remix by Wildlight Voice: Eva Hernandez Podcast interview music background Bumbling by Pictures of Floating World

It’s been about a year since most workers and students started getting sent home from organizations to slow the spread of COVID. Some environments were well positioned and others needed a much larger lift. Actually, it seems like a lot of things needed to change. In this episode we’ll look at a few things that had to change and a few that didn’t, and the novel concept of the Technology Drivers Test.

Most companies don’t discover they have been hacked until months later. But imagine catching a hacker red-handed? Your course of action would be very different. Instead of dealing with the aftermath, your focus would be on urgently identifying the source and then blocking the hack. This is exactly what stack.io CEO and Founder Hany Fahim did when dealing with his first hack, back when he was a young Systems Administrator. Yes, this episode tells a tale from some years ago. So long ago that our host Hany was using a Blackberry and struggled to remember the course of events. This slight memory haze introduces a humorous interlude in the episode, with current-day Hany and his younger self in a quibble about the true course of events. The hack started with an internal search tool used company-wide to retrieve important information. Its speed had slowed to a crawl. Hany investigated and discovered a huge backlog of searches. The culprit? The task at the head of the queue was trying to back-up the database. Hany terminated the task only to have it pop-up again minutes later. He traced the request to a web server, then sent an email to the hardware team and to the entire company about the issue. The situation was resolved, or so he thought. Suddenly, monitoring alarms started sounding from a highly secured back-up system deep inside the data centre. The hack was coming from inside the office! Hany had the hardware team track it - directly to a vice president’s office. Knowing the VP was on vacation, Hany went into his office and discovered the hackers were remotely logging into the VP’s terminal and using it to back-up the company database. Hany unplugged the computer. It turned out that this was only the beginning. We won’t give the entire story away here . . . otherwise, that would spoil the episode for you! Hany notes that humans, not machines, are generally the weak-link when it comes to security. Similar to this tale, the recent SolarWinds hack in December 2020, which breached many Fortune 500 companies and US government agencies (including Homeland Security and the National Nuclear Security Administration), were also connected to human error, rather than the machines. Connect with Hany at his company stack.io and LinkedIn. Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe to our channel to keep up with the latest episodes!

Whenever I speak with those tasked with deploying enterprise technology one of the most common challenges I find they have is finding a way to compare what they are doing with others in similar roles. How do you best find and deploy new technology? How do you encourage open dialogue in your business to identify needs and opportunities? How do you learn more about what technology is available? And how do you ensure you are not seen as the IT department who always says no? These are all real challenges and finding out how others deal with them is not easy, especially when you are already very busy delivering the IT you have. In this week's podcast, recorded at the recent NetApp INSIGHT event in Las Vegas, I wanted to explore this topic with people who actually deliver IT for a living. Donny Lang, Sr. Systems Administrator at GDC, Christopher Olsen, Solutions Architect at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Matthew Underhill from Alfred H. Knight. All three had differing challenges, but all took very similar approaches to how they tackled the daily conundrum of delivering effective IT. In this episode we cover; * Using Cloud * The primary aim of your IT * Selling IT's capabilities * Discovering problems * Rules of "engagement" * Dealing with the "smartest people in the room" * How do you define a solution? * Don't be afraid to ask why * Trusted partners * Importance of events * Becoming data focussed I thought this was a fantastic and frank conversation and each of the guests provided some valuable insight.

Register now https://www.pnsqc.org/2019-conference/ Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 567 will tackle the concept of herding.  Herding is a pattern where an individual or team acts based on the behavior of others. Stated very simply, herding is just like the children’s game follow-the-leader. Sounds innocuous?  This type of behavior can lead to work entry problems and other team level snafus!   We will also have a visit from Gene Hughson! 

To my Beloved Listeners, Here is a Systems Administrator's assessment of the problems with Evolution in light of Genetics and Programming. Note: There are some errors in my talk as I did this right off the top of my head. Here are some corrections: - There 720,000 Petabytes of Data in Human DNA per person not 72,500,000 Petabytes. If you see any other errors please mention them in the comments at AddDan.com so I can make a correction.

Part one of our conversation with two individuals who work in IT with two very different jobs. Includes some particularly interesting insight into amateur racing and competition gun shooting. The post Ep 010 – Jr Systems Administrator (CapsLocked) Pt 1 appeared first on Take Me Through Your Day.

What Veterans Day Means to Me My Experience I joined the US Air Force in the summer of 1991 and shipped out on February of 1992. This was right at the end of Operation Desert Storm and during Desert Shield. I had been married for a year and a half and had a seven-month old daughter when I went to Basic Training. My “Why” of joining was three-fold, to further my professional life, get away from family pressures, and do something I believed in. It was an exciting time. A proud time. And a sad time. I was excited about new opportunities and the unknown. My friends and family were proud of what I was doing. Some were sad and hurt. I was somewhat conscious of all that, but the excitement of embarking on something new overrode everything else. Unexpected Turn Professionally, I thought I wanted to be a software developer. I knew that was where the industry was going and there was this wild intangible about creating something out of absolutely nothing which fascinated me. However, my ASVAB scores were not good enough and I had to settle for being a Communications Computer Operator, a 491x1 at the time. It's been reclassified a few times since then. It was a bit humbling for me and definitely disappointing, but I knew it was a foot in the door and figured I could work my way up. And I did. This is where preparation met opportunity.   Fork in the Road All this led into the opportunity I've been waiting for, in the fall of 1993, the Air Force had a huge project to consolidate all of their mainframes into the Regional Processing Centers (RPCs) and since I had shown exemplary performance and initiative, they gave me the option to either become a Systems Administrator or a Database Administrator. My career was in full blast as an IT professional and wasn't even aware of it. I just wanted to learn as much as possible and do the best job I could do. Overall, joining the military was the best professional decision I had ever made in my life. I am extremely proud of what I did and would still be serving today if I could. Lessons Learned Sacrificing for others will always pay you back ten fold. Despite my sacrifices (which were very few compared to our fighting men and women in the other services), the military had given me a set of skills that directly translated to the public sector and most of all, the pride of serving my country. Nothing can nor will ever take away that pride. Serving your country means to do the things your country asks of you without expecting anything in return. That's true about serving at any level or anything. Be proud of serving, continue to server whether or not you're in the military. "Leaving the Battlefield" story is by Chaplain Major Carlos C. Huerta USA; April 2012; https://www.army.mil/article/78562/leaving_the_battlefield_soldier_shares_story_of_ptsd   **Important Tips** - Join a movement in your area, support the troops and their families

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I’m working for minimum wage as a full Systems Administrator at a State University while I’m taking classes. I really like working here, but I need to make at LEAST 40K /year to justify this level of effort for much longer. I just got offered a job two hours away for 80 - 100K as a System Administrator at a smallish ISP. The same day my boss told me he got approval to hire me on at 45K in 3 - 4 months. If I wait and stay I’m not making what I feel I’m worth, but if I leave I’ll make WAY more money and probably won’t finish my bachelor’s degree. I already have 5 years of experience as a ““system admin”” but I want to move over to technical project management in the next 10 years. I think I should stay, make less money, continue growing my relationships in the Scholastic Network, and finish getting my Bachelor’s degree. That way I can get past HR checks to become a Project Manager somewhere else. What should I do? I’ve recently become the technical lead at my company. I need to build my team more but am struggling with one thing. How do I overcome the fear of hiring someone better than me who could potentially overtake me as the team lead? Is this a common fear among leaders? I want to build an effective team of high caliber developers. But I can’t do that if I let my ego and insecurity get in the way.

Hello listeners! This week we're back and we have a conversation with Rudy Guisbert. After 14 years of being a Systems Administrator, Rudy decided that he needed a break from the routine and quit his job to travel to Latin America. This journey allowed him to meet beautiful people, explore amazing sites and venture into the most extraordinary coffee farms. Rudy found something in common that unites most Latino countries, this is called coffee. Rudy developed a strong bond with a number of farmers and producers across several Latin American countries such as Bolivia, Peru and Colombia. The more he connected with these farmers, the more he felt responsible for sharing their stories and product with the world. Now Rudy is an exclusive coffee merchant, he brings coffee directly from small coffee farms in Latin America, and works only in small batches of top-quality beans. The product comes in ready to sell, all the roasting, packaging, and branding is done in Latin America. Rudy is now proud of his company Cocotu because he’s able to offer chemical-free, exclusive organic coffee beans that are produced through sustainable means. Listeners, Rudy tells us how he went from working in Corporate America to creating the business of his dreams by traveling to South America. I hope you get inspired with this one and share it if you think someone you know needs this message Check out the August Snoozets that support Asylum Advocacy Project (asylumadvocacy.org).

Amy Bleakley, Senior Research Scientist and Lecturer at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and Heather Luna, Systems Administrator at the Wharton School, join host Dan Loney to talk about the recent panel discussion they hosted on the importance of teaching kids about internet safety (cyber security) and what parents can do to keep their children safe on Knowledge@Wharton.

Please join us as we return from our Summer Hiatus with Scott Carpenter, Tennessee Bigfoot researcher. Scott had his first experience with Bigfoot in 1972-1973 when two juvenile hairy bipeds peered at him through a glass door. In the Spring of 2009, he made some half hearted “whooping” calls while fishing on a local lake. The calls got the attention of something large, loud, and intimidating. It came to the shore line crashing through the underbrush and breaking limbs. Though the unseen creature never showed itself it did make an audible "hmmph" before walking slowly back into the forest.  This peaked Scott’s interest in the topic. He began researching Bigfoot/Sasquatch both on public lands and in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In February of 2011, he joined North American Bigfoot Search (NABS) and has contributed many hair and saliva samples to the "Ketchum" DNA Project. He has a BS in Computer Science and is the Systems Administrator for a software development firm in Knoxville Tennessee. Scott makes his home in Maryville Tennessee in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Please visit the links listed for more information about Scott’s research and books.  Nephilim Among Us Site - Paperback is now out. http://thenephilimamongus.blogspot.com/ Bigfoot Site: http://bf-field-journal.blogspot.com/ Dogman Site: http://dogman-monsters-are-real.blogspot.com/ New Video of a White Bigfoot he captured: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtr-ThEzSSc

This time of the year is a busy one for the technology industry as we move into conference season. But are these events worth your while, or are they just an excuse for a few days off and a good time? Over the next two shows, I get the views from this years VMworld 2017 conference and ask the question "was it good for you?". In this first episode, I'm joined by 4 guests; Becky Elliot - Sr. Systems Administrator for a US government contractor Michael Cade - Veeam Mark Carlton - Concorde IT Barry Coombs - Computerworld Group We discuss what they gained from the event, what did VMware cover, how relevant was their strategic message and the key things they took from the event. If you want a snapshot of the key points from this years VMworld, then these attendees give you a great view of what was covered, as well as been great examples of the significant benefits you can get by investing in you or your team attending vendor conferences Enjoy the show.

My Ruby Story Dave Kimura On this episode Charles talks to Ruby Rouges panelist Dave Kimura, the creator of Drifting Ruby, the popular Ruby on Rails Screencast and Blog. Find out more about how Dave got interested in programming and first introduced to the world of Ruby. Dave also talks about how and when he started Drifting Ruby. How did you get into programming? Dave discusses living in Germany during middle school in the 90s. During this time, he owned a simple Mac LC II. He found a floppy disc that contained a program called Chipmunk Basic, which was his very first exposure into the world of programming. His interest with programming was further sparked by computers at school. These computers were loaded with three different programs: Fortran, Pascal, and C compiler. All of these peaked his interest in programming further.  
 Charles and Dave discuss the impact technology made.  Dave tells Charles that anything that pre-dates the Internet feels like a different world; one in which learning was more complicated. He talks about how technology has come a long way in the past 20 years. He discusses the creativity that people have displayed and how amazed he is by the progression of different applications. How did you make the transition from different programs such as PHP and ActionScript into Ruby? Dave discusses his work as a Systems Administrator at an engineering firm for the past 6 years after college. He talks about being at his current job at Sage Software for almost 8 years and that he does not believe in job hopping, although many do today. He states that he has no valid reasoning that he went with Ruby over Python or another program. He says that he did not like PHP or asp.net. Instead he wanted something new. Dave wanted to do things the way he wanted to do, which can’t be done in Python. A big part of his decision was made when he looked at Matz’s twitter. Matz seemed happy which led Dave to pick Ruby, which he thinks is mainly a good “dumb luck” decision. What kinds of things have you done with Ruby? Dave says that the coolest thing he’s done is with a Raspberry Pi his brother gifted him in 2013–2014 for Christmas. He built a CNC machine and a Ruby Gem called a Router out of it. He explains that he wrote an interpreter to read and control the machine. He adds that he has built a bunch of hardware as well. How did Drifting Ruby come about? Dave says that his inspiration is Ryan Bates, who created RailsCast and went off the grid in 2013. He strives to fill in the high bar that Ryan left by producing quality material. When did you start Drifting Ruby? Dave started Drifting Ruby in 2015, which is a couple years after RailsCast. He explains that he was not entirely committed to the program at first. He explains that he has revamped the audio setup two or three times. So where are you hoping to get to with it? Are you just trying to put good content out or monetize as well? Dave is currently focused on releasing good content. He wants to give back to the Ruby community and feels good that people are able to use the content he produces. Eventually he states that it will go to a subscription base, but does not have a definite date as to when. He is very dedicated to his work, as he spends 10 to 15 hours of his weekend working on episodes. Are there things that you feel that you have contributed to the Ruby community?  Dave feels like his commitment to Ruby Rogues has been consistent but is not a hassle. He doesn’t look at it as something he wants to get paid for because he enjoys the time he dedicates weekly. He doesn’t feel like he’s had anything big other than Drifting Ruby. So what are you working on now? Dave is currently working on a money manager that he uses with his wife. He built this Ruby on Rails application in 2011–2012 off of the premise he learned at a Dave Ramsey conference. He states that he recently rewrote it and cleaned up so that it uses the latest Rails 5.1.1. The application helps budget money for bills, groceries, spending money, etc. using a digital envelope system. He states that anyone is able to use the program, and it has made a difference in his life.

He explains that he has revamped the audio setup two or three times. So where are you hoping to get to with it? Are you just trying to put good content out or monetize as well? Dave is currently focused on releasing good content. He wants to give back to the Ruby community and feels good that people are able to use the content he produces. Eventually he states that it will go to a subscription base, but does not have a definite date as to when. He is very dedicated to his work, as he spends 10 to 15 hours of his weekend working on episodes. Are there things that you feel that you have contributed to the Ruby community?  Dave feels like his commitment to Ruby Rogues has been consistent but is not a hassle. He doesn’t look at it as something he wants to get paid for because he enjoys the time he dedicates weekly. He doesn’t feel like he’s had anything big other than Drifting Ruby. So what are you working on now? Dave is currently working on a money manager that he uses with his wife. He built this Ruby on Rails application in 2011–2012 off of the premise he learned at a Dave Ramsey conference. He states that he recently rewrote it and cleaned up so that it uses the latest Rails 5.1.1. The application helps budget money for bills, groceries, spending money, etc. using a digital envelope system. He states that anyone is able to use the program, and it has made a difference in his life.

Why establishing the right back-up process is so important How to set up high expectations within the IT agreement itself How to not get bamboozled by the latest IT fad and ensure that you only implement what you need ‘When in doubt, do without’ Why IT is not magic, it's just engineering Why IT should be treated like a marriage (because often you'll be spending more time with your IT guy than your spouse anyway) Why it is critical to have the right people in an IT meeting and to follow a clear meeting agenda Ben's Top 3 IT Meetings Suggestions Be clear about the business problem you are trying to solve, and THEN figure out the appropriate IT solution Be calm during a meeting with your IT provider and remember that everyone has a job to do Clearly understand what Return-On-Investment you want from your IT solution, and don't overspend on bells and whistles that you don't need About Ben Habing Ben has been wielding a keyboard since he was nine.
