For the last two months, I have been working way to many hours on a new project for work. I am finally coming to the end and look forward to being done with it. The majority of my time spent in the last few weeks was setting up a service that was free because the commercial solution I would rather have was not in the budget. I have learned the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) DO not trust vendors. Even when they say their products work, they have bugs. Insist they reproduce it in their labs, rather than just say “it’s your environment”. It took me 7 days and insisting to get an expert in my operating system until we identified it was a bug in their software. I found a work around and will wait for a patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) When setting complex passwords, never assume the vendors can deal with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) using a * in a password prevented the software from properly installing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) using < or > in a password is not a good idea if the software does not properly escape the character before passing it to the shell. This took over a month to debug and we ONLY stumbled on the issue when I double checked the password and was luck, WTAF! <facepalm> moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) There is a sever lack of useful HOWTO documentation for what I was trying to do. Lots of documentation, but not enough to help you jumpstart your knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Item 3 has re-inspired me to continue to do my training documentation and videos. I am looking to create a new YouTube channel in conjunction with my personal blog: https:\/\/www.yourservice.com\/blog<\/a> I have quite a ton of material. I am trying to figure out if I should do 30-60 minutes videos or break them down into 10-15 minutes shorts. Should I release topics all at once, or one piece at a time? Does anyone out there have experience with this? I am also wondering if you can actually make any money doing this? My goal is to produce videos that could actually be used in or supplement classroom learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
