Andrew Hale: IT Talk & Other Topics

Within the last few months, my local grocery chain (Publix), announced that they're offering a Publix Delivery service, powered by Instacart. I've been looking for a second job with a flexible schedule so I signed up thinking I could just do it on the weekends. I signed up, got accepted, and immediately realized it wasn't going to work for me. More after the jump.

I've recently switched to using a Mac as my main workstation at work and there's definitely been a learning curve. On my Windows box (which I still have for running RSAT tools and local Hyper-V VMs), I had an SSH & SFTP client with my frequent connections already configured. I've been trying to replicate this, so I've written some info on managing SSH connections, SSH Keys and configuring "profiles" of sorts for boxes that I access commonly. 

My wife is more into Dave Ramsey than I am. However, I've recently been watching some of the clips on YouTube from his show, The Dave Ramsey Show. Sometimes, I definitely agree with him and his advice makes a lot of sense. Other times, I disagree. In this case, his advice to one caller makes sense, but I don't think that it's universal. The advice was regarding the use of Debit- and Credit-Cards.
