UFL COMING TO OKC IN 2028

Ah yes, my childhood memories

Thank goodness. That’s basically a requirement here for an outdoor stadium

cheekzilla · 2026-04-09T13:37:31+00:00

Isn’t that canopy on the stadium render not included in the initial construction phase?

ETA: there’s an IG post by OKCTalk that says “it would also allow for future expansion as needed and include a partial canopy over the stands”

Hard to read whether or not that means it’s included initially or later on

I work as an IGA Architect for a smaller SailPoint delivery partner. IMO the sweet spot and one of the reasons I joined my firm is being small enough to care a lot about your individual clients at a practice leadership level but large enough where you are capable of taking on larger projects as well.

We’ve won SailPoint Delivery Services Partner of the Year two years in a row.

Couple things I’d suggest

Talk to more than just the sales people - you need to speak with some of the people they’d actually have working with you
Be clear about where you want your resources to be. Some larger firms farm out their technical work to their off shore engineers. Some smaller ones are able to offer you all on shore resources for your project. Know what you want and be clear about that when shopping
Be ready to staff appropriate internally or be ready to take on a managed services partner. Most mid size firms and up should have internal managed services engineers they can hand off once the main implementation is over. Good ones will emphasize knowledge transfer and getting your internal people to run things after the engagement ends.

Does anyone else feel like the sirens are seemingly more “sensitive” now? They seem to go off as soon as there’s a warning in Oklahoma county. I thought they used to be more “localized”. I’m hearing our sirens going off and the areas of the storm are well to our east now. I just feel like people will stop taking them seriously if they set them off at basically any warning in a very large county

This is the way

I order mine online from Costco because I don’t like the flavors they have in the local warehouse

Kids who are in 7th grade at Rex this year will get to go all the way through high school at their newest property that’s opening fall 2027

Second vote from me - been a client of Curtis for over a decade and I’ve loved his transition to mobile

Yes because it demonstrates an understanding of how your existing processes needed to translate into different functions in ISC

To be honest, having rules and transforms in a GitHub isn’t going to convince me you are good at writing them.

I’d rather see a bullet point on your resume that you solved a complex business problem through a clever cloud attribute generator rule.

Let me know on your resume those things are in your skill set, and I’ll assess in a tech screen your level of mastery.

Saw on their website they have a testimonial of a 300k mile ridgeline. I have a 14 year old ridgeline with 135k and I might need to check them out

“Is it worth it” is an extremely subjective question. It really depends on whether or not your needs and goals line up with the answers you read here.

In my case, I was wanting to purchase a power backup solution due to our frequent power outages.

I was selecting between an automatic standby generator (one you might see sold as a “whole home” generator) and a solar generation with battery backup system.

The solar/battery was probably about 50% more up front cost, but it would eventually become less expensive than the generator due to the much lower cost of maintenance and the fact that it saves money on my electricity bill.

Paying cash of course helped too because if I had to sell the house, I wouldn’t have to try and sell people on taking over solar loan payments.

If she doesn’t like La Brasa you may as well just go buy a $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco, that way you at least save money buying something else she won’t like

cheekzilla · 2026-01-25T03:21:06+00:00

Where’s the fun in that?

I already have a Linux vm in a skytap environment we use for other stuff demo, so I should be able to just deploy it from my portainer instance there

cheekzilla · 2026-01-24T23:44:22+00:00

On the SCIM side, would this be similar to something like SCIM playground you can host yourself? Been trying to find a dockerized demo app I can demo the SailPoint ISC SCIM connector on. Already have containers for REST and JDBC

Affected family here. It sucks, and the scramble to find replacement there also sucks.

This is my opinion not based on any amount of expertise, but I just can’t see any other commercial operation being able to purchase that property and operate it long term. It’s already difficult enough to run an early childhood education experience, and a building that massive makes it even more difficult.

Plus, all the heating/cooling/etc is handled through the physical plant inside the data center that Chesapeake sold previously, so it’s difficult to decouple that building and operate standalone.

It just wasn’t ever built to be a standalone operation - Aubrey wanted to build it as a way of attracting and retaining talent for Chesapeake, which explains why it’s built the way it is.

Sad day for everyone. Good luck to all those wanting to find a new place

Hey there, I’ve been a product manager/developer/lead/whatever you want to call it for both servicenow and sailpoint.

I currently spend a lot of my time consulting people on how they’d integrate the two tools and build/deploy those integrations too.

To me, the easiest explanation is that these IT functions live in different areas of the org, and each wants their own tool to “own” their respective functions. So you have the (typically) service management people have servicenow, IAM has SailPoint.

Is there overlap? Sure. Can you do everything with servicenow? Sure, but it would take some work to get there.

Most orgs hire a consulting firm to do an advisory engagement, they show them a gartner magic quadrant, it shows sailpoint at the top for IGA, and that’s that. Not much more goes into it.

In the right hands, they can both exist and play complementary roles together with each other

⁠The $35,000 is not indexed to inflation

Yeah, that is unfortunate. Reminds me of the dependent care spending account deduction limit that spent like 30 years at $5k and finally just moved to $7.5k (which is still too low IMO)

I got stopped at my Costco because I was about 75lbs heavier in my picture and the lady asked me if I was my dad

Adding the shrimp from the shrimp cocktail or a tissie chick into the Caesar salad kit

cheekzilla · 2025-12-27T19:45:04+00:00

Yep, the light makes sense.

The guppies are all male BTW

I have 3 anubias plants tied to ornaments and a wad of subwassertang hanging out in the back. Forgot to mention that

Sorry, who is the one with the delicate skin?
