Re: Best way to San Jose Fairmont from SFO?

[Larry LaBas]

If one uses Caltrain and has luggage there is a luggage car with racks.  

Also no wifi on Caltrain but wifi is available on Bart and the VTA (light rail 
and express buses).  The car with the assistance ramp has a washroom, the rest 
do not.

As a long time commuter (Gilroy to SF) I do recommend Bart to Caltrain to Light 
Rail as it will be cheaper than Uber.  When I last returned from London we took 
that route.  It's also very reliable and usually on schedule.

Yes, I'm a bit jaded on driving in traffic in the area as I've also been doing 
that for many years.

I've found Citymapper the best app for directions and public transport.  Not 
only was it great here but was fantastic for using the tube in London and 
walking  around.  You can call uber or get driving directions from it also.

TTFN,
Larry

Re: SSL Certificates and ... Providers

[Larry LaBas]

I did and it was vendor dependent which is why I switched a year and a half ago.

 Ok, so this might be a little off topic but I am trying to validate something 
 a vendor is telling me and hoping some people here have expertise in this 
 area...
 
 I am working with a SSL certificate provider.  I am trying to purchase a 
 quantity of wildcard SSL certificates to cover about 60 FQDN's across 4 
 domains.  Vendor is telling me that the Wildcard certificates are licensed 
 per physical device it is installed on.  This means instead of using a single 
 wildcard across 20 servers, I would have to buy 20 wildcard certs for 20 
 servers.
 
 This does not compute in my brain and also in my mind completely defeats the 
 purpose of a wildcard cert as I know it.  Has anyone run into this before?
 
 Thanks

Re: Color vision for network techs

[Larry LaBas]

The Military has colour screening for obvious reasons but I am  not sure if
it's needed for Networking.

My take is that I designed all to have a wide variance.  IE: Red, Blue,
Yellow and Black which helped lower issues.  Not solve them but if you
limit the use of Red to certain areas (ie: Yellow / Red on one patch panel)
then it helps.

Yes, I did have a team lead who was colour blind and that did help to lead
me down that path.  When he was on our internet facing patch panel which
was Red/Yellow if he saw black he knew it was Red.

Sincerely,
Larry A. LaBas(CD)
