00:00:02.790 --> 00:00:09.240
Patrick Toner: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of sin takers agile weekly this is episode 55.
2
00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:24.990
Patrick Toner: nearing you know just continuing past the halfway point half century mark here i'm joined with a former colleague good friend, Chris Fini for my drill Chris, by the way, i'm Patrick toner did not fail to mention that but Chris how you doing.
3
00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:30.990
Chris Feeney: i'm doing alright man you're enjoying the ability to work from anywhere today.
4
00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:34.530
Chris Feeney: As you can tell, I think that's a.
5
00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:41.730
Chris Feeney: Well we're at the beach so i'm enjoying it right now so look forward to the topic good topic today so excited.
6
00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.090
Patrick Toner: Very good, but we're both taking advantage of the work from anywhere.
7
00:00:46.650 --> 00:00:52.500
Patrick Toner: You know, technology, a little bit different reasons, you are on vacation right now and we're just say right.
8
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:57.150
Chris Feeney: Now Hilton head you've been here a few times it's a great place to come family.
9
00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:04.080
Chris Feeney: vacation we've done I don't know, three or four these now here and just absolutely love coming down here.
10
00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:13.620
Patrick Toner: are nice very nice and i'm actually for anyone listening who's been following this saga about to ourselves right we finally made it to Florida.
11
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:26.550
Patrick Toner: Had a little bit of a mishap in our airbnb sweet we plan to stay in jacksonville or House should be move in ready on Thursday so we're going to go to settlement Thursday, but we had an electrical issue I airbnb middle of the night like.
12
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.560
Patrick Toner: 103 degrees down here.
13
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:36.990
Patrick Toner: And then all the power goes out the air conditioner goes out, you know I had to wrangle the four kids that are freaking out because it's pitch black and.
14
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:46.050
Patrick Toner: We made the decision it's time to go to a hotel So here we are we're about five minutes down the road working from anywhere doing doing work from anywhere thing so.
15
00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:47.940
Chris Feeney: Anyway, room and.
16
00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:52.590
Chris Feeney: You know it's funny all we need all we need is a good wi fi connection.
17
00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:57.750
Chris Feeney: And that's it and you know what interestingly enough we're talking about something regarding wi fi today, are we not.
18
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:01.140
Patrick Toner: We are, we are, we have a great topic.
19
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:09.960
Patrick Toner: Let me go ahead and share my screen now we're gonna be talking about new blog got released on the website technology called seven signal.
20
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:19.920
Patrick Toner: And this one was one that was unfamiliar to me when we kind of were first talking before yeah podcast recording here but i'm Chris if you could just give a quick overview what what is seven signal.
21
00:02:20.970 --> 00:02:27.210
Chris Feeney: So they are a wireless analytics company, but they built their solution cloud first so.
22
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.540
Chris Feeney: Everything is is you know.
23
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:38.640
Chris Feeney: hosted in the cloud and everything like there but they have basically the ability to analyze and help solve problems regarding.
24
00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:46.890
Chris Feeney: You know, all kinds of wireless issues that you might encounter and that's really the key focuses and the nice thing about.
25
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:58.710
Chris Feeney: You know I Joe Linux is that they do have a Linux plugin APP thing that we've made into a custom partition and you just literally you turn that on and then you point it at.
26
00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:15.570
Chris Feeney: This cloud environment and pull up the console and then you can start seeing and diagnosing issues it's very powerful solution they've been sponsoring our disrupt on tours which just wrapped up the spring early summer sessions last week and Seattle.
27
00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:20.520
Chris Feeney: But we're very excited to have them on board they've got a pretty solid solution.
28
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.340
Patrick Toner: Also, we should probably put a little bookmark in the custom partition feature, we tried touch on that.
29
00:03:26.820 --> 00:03:32.550
Patrick Toner: Once we kind of overview this a little bit, because I think there's some well, first of all we're doing a workshop coming up on it so that's timely.
30
00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:40.740
Patrick Toner: But you know just the great features fried talk through it a little bit, but so it sounds like seven signal is completely it sounds like the cloud based solution.
31
00:03:40.890 --> 00:03:41.760
Chris Feeney: So the yeah the.
32
00:03:41.820 --> 00:03:48.930
Patrick Toner: ideal devices would report up as cloud based solution and your admin would have like a browser based.
33
00:03:49.950 --> 00:03:53.400
Patrick Toner: You know dashboard or something where they could see data is that is that right.
34
00:03:54.150 --> 00:04:02.910
Chris Feeney: yeah and it's pretty the way they display it is pretty amazing I mean it's easy to read, understand, obviously with some training, can I get a sense of what you're looking at, but.
35
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.890
Chris Feeney: I remember, for example, early months of the pandemic, you know, everybody was at home and you had you know kids.
36
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:20.370
Chris Feeney: My wife's a teacher so she was teaching from home my daughter was still in high school and she was you know working learning from home my son was in college, he was doing everybody was at home.
37
00:04:20.910 --> 00:04:31.050
Chris Feeney: And wi fi signals were just absolutely crazy and we kept having wi fi go out or whatever, and so I actually downloaded a Linux APP on my.
38
00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:39.060
Chris Feeney: a boon to system and just to see what it could tell me as far as what signals are being used right on the wi fi spectrum.
39
00:04:39.630 --> 00:04:50.100
Chris Feeney: And I found one basically in our neighborhood everybody had the default on it was right in the middle, and you know you can see where the congestion was so I deliberately went and I moved our wi fi signal to have.
40
00:04:51.810 --> 00:04:59.610
Chris Feeney: I guess a higher area of the spectrum and where it didn't see too many signals there and, from what I can tell it seemed to stabilize.
41
00:05:00.510 --> 00:05:09.180
Chris Feeney: But seven signal is one of those things that you know, can give you that, but in a nice visual ability to display and kind of see and diagnose what that is so.
42
00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:22.290
Chris Feeney: I wish we had a video make probably do somewhere, I need to check with my my friend RON there and helps you help with the custom partition build of this but but it's a really cool tool, especially in areas and hospitals are poor.
43
00:05:23.310 --> 00:05:33.300
Chris Feeney: Maybe buildings that weren't built for wireless type signals really diagnose where those issues are but that's what it's that's what it's that's what they do and they're they're pretty good at it.
44
00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:46.980
Patrick Toner: that's pretty awesome I mean when you think about you know how you and I are working right now I mean obviously i'm in a random hotel down the street from my house your it looks like you're pretty relaxed right now but you're you're at what a beach Rentals that we're at.
45
00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:54.090
Chris Feeney: yeah we are, in fact, you know for those that are watching to see if I can turn this thing around.
46
00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:58.110
Chris Feeney: Can you see out my on my porch here.
47
00:05:58.500 --> 00:05:59.880
Patrick Toner: Again yeah that's Nice.
48
00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:04.860
Chris Feeney: So a little Mars in the background, the I think the tide is on its way out.
49
00:06:06.150 --> 00:06:13.530
Chris Feeney: But there's wildlife and our dogs eager to go outside and explore what's going on but yeah we're just enjoying enjoying the time here.
50
00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:14.370
So.
51
00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.890
Patrick Toner: i've taken Chris that where you're at Grad.
52
00:06:18.630 --> 00:06:23.580
Chris Feeney: we're on Hilton head island, so this little spot here is I wouldn't say if the day but it's definitely.
53
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.550
Chris Feeney: You know we're about two miles from the ocean, where the beach club is so.
54
00:06:29.610 --> 00:06:30.510
Patrick Toner: Okay cool.
55
00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:40.200
Patrick Toner: yeah well yeah go back to our you know point here while you're lounging firing the mark out there, you know the wildlife, you know just doing your work from home.
56
00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:53.070
Patrick Toner: it's Nice as an admin when your users are doing that because if you called your help desk right now and said hey I can't I can't connect to citrix I can't connect to vmware right, this is not working right it's usually.
57
00:06:53.700 --> 00:06:56.850
Patrick Toner: You know that that becomes the problem in the users is hey this thing doesn't work.
58
00:06:57.450 --> 00:07:11.400
Patrick Toner: Having that visibility is key right he was the admin he was to help desk team to say Okay, well, I know I see your device reporting in, and you have terrible signal you know you're you're on you're on a 56 K connection at a beach rental right.
59
00:07:12.510 --> 00:07:19.800
Patrick Toner: You know that's a big deal that's a big deal for the help desk team to have that data in order to just quickly be able to just diagnose what's going on.
60
00:07:20.610 --> 00:07:22.680
Chris Feeney: yeah absolutely I mean that's really.
61
00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:29.640
Chris Feeney: You know, comes down to that user experience right, you know, trying to figure out where is the hiccup.
62
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:43.020
Chris Feeney: case in point, we were on our way down last yesterday and my daughter got a phone call and it to me, it was a scam somebody said there's Amazon.
63
00:07:44.340 --> 00:07:53.580
Chris Feeney: If you did not authorize a purchase of a MAC book pro still like that, please press one and I was driving and I was, I was that you know.
64
00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:01.050
Chris Feeney: And I was like Oh, and so we got on the phone I was sitting there driving and I was trying to walk her through the APP and I was like alright see if you can get Ahold of customer service.
65
00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:11.970
Chris Feeney: And when she did pull it up, it said sorry there's some trouble going on right now now what was that issue was you know amazon's data Center down, was it just a sheer volume of calls.
66
00:08:12.450 --> 00:08:21.930
Chris Feeney: You know, whatever, but they were at least able to let the user know hey something's going on not now's not a probably good time you try to reach us, you know.
67
00:08:22.440 --> 00:08:35.580
Chris Feeney: And really trying to figure out like all right if i'm sitting here and i'm at the beach rental and yesterday, for example, I noticed it's you know, once the kids got on wi fi things began to slow down a bit.
68
00:08:37.050 --> 00:08:41.580
Chris Feeney: So I was, like all right it's not the greatest wi fi and really checked out what what type of.
69
00:08:42.630 --> 00:08:44.940
Chris Feeney: You know, powerful signal, or we have here but.
70
00:08:46.410 --> 00:08:56.970
Chris Feeney: But you can tell they're streaming videos or whatever like that you might you might have a little poor performance but but yeah without a tool really help understand what that is you mean you can be guests, and it could be.
71
00:08:58.650 --> 00:09:04.680
Chris Feeney: Other forget there's a stove is doing it early project years ago and they were saying hey we noticed every time.
72
00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:16.290
Chris Feeney: The mowers are out that are signals just are going haywire and what it ended up being as they had that copper wires connecting these buildings, but they were very.
73
00:09:16.950 --> 00:09:27.360
Chris Feeney: Like they weren't dug deep and so when the metal magneto I guess of the of the mower blades would go over it would cause the servants, with the electrical signal.
74
00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:34.740
Chris Feeney: And so, then they switch ultimately they switched to a wi fi connectivity or something like that, but.
75
00:09:35.130 --> 00:09:41.370
Chris Feeney: But uh but they just happen to notice, because those those cables connected to those were buried like maybe two inches deep or something it was.
76
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:48.150
Chris Feeney: was getting impact like that I just weird stuff like that can impact your networking capability, but having a tool able to help you understand.
77
00:09:48.660 --> 00:09:58.110
Chris Feeney: Where is the problem is it definitely on the endpoint is it somewhere in the signal itself, or is it your you know sipping coffee in your hundred thousand feet away from your access point.
78
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:05.340
Chris Feeney: Those are the that's the kind of you know crazy examples, but that that's what a tool like seven signal can help you understand.
79
00:10:05.880 --> 00:10:08.940
Patrick Toner: yeah that's great I mean there's there's other tools to I mean you think.
80
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.020
Patrick Toner: Control up where it just comes down to visibility right.
81
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:21.120
Patrick Toner: It comes down to a little to just see what's going on, you know the talking about a scam you know kind of the whole thing started there.
82
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.070
Patrick Toner: Usually, a scam is the same issue you don't really have full visibility of who's talking to you it's like.
83
00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:31.650
Patrick Toner: Like Michael Scott says, you know when the Crown Prince of Nigeria calls you directly, you don't ask questions right.
84
00:10:32.400 --> 00:10:40.230
Patrick Toner: We should not take that approach, but you know, we need to know when there's an issue when there's something weird going on, you need to have data to build a backup.
85
00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:51.030
Patrick Toner: To be able to fix it right to be able to tell your user hey you have a poor network or hey your your you know your cpu utilization is just through the roof whenever you run teams, or whatever right.
86
00:10:51.960 --> 00:11:02.430
Patrick Toner: it's just it's just being able to diagnose it and you know and then fix the problem, or at least have have a little data to say hey look it's just not going to work where you're at.
87
00:11:03.330 --> 00:11:11.490
Patrick Toner: yeah but yeah I mean it's just a huge huge ever growing need, as we get more and more remote we get more and more work from anywhere.
88
00:11:12.210 --> 00:11:21.090
Patrick Toner: Really, the stuff that I just been promoting you know, for years, you know it's it's pretty pretty it's pretty amazing you mentioned earlier when.
89
00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:28.560
Patrick Toner: Like how things were I was just I was thinking as you were talking so I started in it running network cable That was my first job.
90
00:11:29.250 --> 00:11:38.850
Patrick Toner: In technology, I was i've run cat five cable I learned, you know punch down the the ends and then I was rolling out thin clients with broken out Dell wyse thin clients connecting to citrix.
91
00:11:40.170 --> 00:11:45.240
Patrick Toner: And it was it was, for you know 14 years ago that was pretty amazing right that was pretty cutting edge to be.
92
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:57.300
Patrick Toner: But you would have never done it over wi fi you would have never you know ever you know relied on wi fi back in those days, because the technology was just it was just wasn't there, then you fast forward to today.
93
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.840
Patrick Toner: wireless technology is pretty amazing how how.
94
00:12:00.900 --> 00:12:02.190
Patrick Toner: is how old is.
95
00:12:02.430 --> 00:12:04.590
Patrick Toner: How, you know it's just come a long way.
96
00:12:05.550 --> 00:12:09.270
Chris Feeney: Oh yeah my just listening to you talk there, my first really.
97
00:12:09.330 --> 00:12:15.450
Chris Feeney: Truly wireless networking project was the company, I was working for.
98
00:12:16.470 --> 00:12:21.630
Chris Feeney: Had a contract with this hospitality group that owned a bunch of like.
99
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:28.380
Chris Feeney: Hampton ends some residents in various types of brands, and this was maybe.
100
00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:36.240
Chris Feeney: Three before these brands really became Brenda like Hampton INN went through a phase, but it became everything was the same brand.
101
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:49.860
Chris Feeney: And Mary out went through a similar thing, but before that the hotel the hospitality owners would say hey we wireless or networking, or you know Internet access is something we need high speed Internet access so.
102
00:12:50.490 --> 00:13:06.540
Chris Feeney: We were big with Cisco, and so we went with Cisco gear and I was intimately involved with setting up some of these Cisco access points, but you know, trying to implement this and then figure out with the wireless antennas the, the best way to put these things, and you know.
103
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:12.480
Chris Feeney: And I remember you know just trying to figure out, you know, do I have it.
104
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:20.040
Chris Feeney: Enough coverage that we you know all these little tools in the tool that can work that great to really help you understand if you.
105
00:13:20.430 --> 00:13:30.090
Chris Feeney: Were covering you know, a section of the floor, or the entire floor or or four floors or overpowering it, so I can guarantee you at least there may still be some.
106
00:13:30.780 --> 00:13:38.550
Chris Feeney: Wireless access networks out there that some of these hotels that are up and running, because the wi fi was just way way turn way up.
107
00:13:39.570 --> 00:13:41.130
Chris Feeney: Maybe they've been replaced by now, but.
108
00:13:42.570 --> 00:13:47.400
Chris Feeney: yeah I would say it was not my complete best work, but it was it was early on early years and.
109
00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:58.320
Chris Feeney: You know, we we ended up getting it done but but yeah it was it was a I was like man, if this works has been amazing, but now it just.
110
00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:04.980
Chris Feeney: Where you go, I mean where you're sitting right now now you don't think twice about it generally works totally fine you got plenty of.
111
00:14:05.640 --> 00:14:22.950
Chris Feeney: Speed you know you know, like a hotel points person usually get like that that extra level if you're like a gold or whatever level you get that higher speed kind of thing but i've noticed, even on the lower ones that it's still enough they get what I need to get done so.
112
00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:25.710
Patrick Toner: that's assuming we're actually getting more you know that's a.
113
00:14:26.430 --> 00:14:29.130
Chris Feeney: mean that's you getting 11 you're getting that spinal tap 11.
114
00:14:29.160 --> 00:14:29.490
Chris Feeney: turn it.
115
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.140
Patrick Toner: boosted up it just makes me feel better that they tell me it's faster that's that's.
116
00:14:35.610 --> 00:14:36.510
Chris Feeney: Totally all it is if.
117
00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:38.970
Chris Feeney: You pay five bucks extra.
118
00:14:41.130 --> 00:14:48.270
Patrick Toner: But but anyway so yeah it's just it's really come a long way, I mean that that's the point i'm really why we need technologies like this right, we need.
119
00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:54.540
Patrick Toner: We need technologies like seven signal and other ones out there control up you know liquid where they have their their tools as well.
120
00:14:55.080 --> 00:15:05.250
Patrick Toner: really important to have that in your stack if you don't have it definitely reach out to us because you really needed, we could give you a story after story of customers finding that out the hard way.
121
00:15:06.450 --> 00:15:13.380
Patrick Toner: But anyway, so you mentioned Chris earlier, you know seven signal today, and this is, you know pretty common when it comes to it already.
122
00:15:14.070 --> 00:15:24.300
Patrick Toner: Partnerships there we start out as a custom partition and then they eventually get integrated with customer demand so it's seven signal to knowledge it's still a custom partition today is that right.
123
00:15:24.930 --> 00:15:25.650
Chris Feeney: that's correct.
124
00:15:26.130 --> 00:15:39.810
Patrick Toner: Okay, very cool and for anyone who doesn't know a custom partition and I gel language what it really does and, by the way, shameless plug here, Chris and I will be doing a workshop on, let me get the data it's in July.
125
00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:42.330
Chris Feeney: July 28 I believe that.
126
00:15:42.390 --> 00:15:45.090
Patrick Toner: July 28 Thursday Thursday July 28.
127
00:15:46.290 --> 00:15:52.890
Patrick Toner: You can sign up it's INTEGRA COM go to workshops, but yeah it will be doing doing a deep dive.
128
00:15:53.640 --> 00:16:00.990
Patrick Toner: With agile custom partitions will have RON they're joining us who some knows the godfather of custom partitions are on the agile Community he's.
129
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:12.630
Patrick Toner: that's a really good work, but we're going to talk about it and it's really a great feature, because what custom partition does is allows you to take an application that's any of any Linux application that's living out there.
130
00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:23.520
Patrick Toner: are almost everything will put that little caveat in there, almost every Linux application it's out there, and you can package, it up and deploy it to I gel and run it so.
131
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:31.950
Patrick Toner: For example, you know there's there's applications out there, but people may not realize this Microsoft actually has a Linux version of Microsoft edge.
132
00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:44.610
Patrick Toner: And Microsoft teams and they can run locally on a Linux device, so I Jill does not have those built in, by default, the nigel's have read only sandbox though so only what's built in is what's there you know.
133
00:16:45.270 --> 00:16:55.140
Patrick Toner: But what you can do is package them up and deploy them, you can actually run nigella less and use Microsoft edges or browser you can locally run Microsoft teams.
134
00:16:55.740 --> 00:17:03.300
Patrick Toner: Without you know entering into a vdi environment so it's a really cool feature X we use that internally here it's INTEGRA so.
135
00:17:03.930 --> 00:17:20.310
Patrick Toner: On this week actually was like I think literally a few days ago, and he was asking me if he could get local versions of zoom and teams, I was able to go to agile Community calm run the scripts that RON has you need to Linux be able to do it or Linux machine to do it.
136
00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:26.820
Patrick Toner: I ran a scripts It gives me the updated version of zoom updated version of teams and I deployed it out, I probably had done in about.
137
00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:36.990
Patrick Toner: I would say about 2030 minutes start to finish, so it's really a powerful tool and a great way to just push whatever applications, you want to your Linux os GI Joe.
138
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:45.900
Chris Feeney: yeah and and RON we he and I haven't maintain our our own as your instance of us and ice and.
139
00:17:48.360 --> 00:18:02.910
Chris Feeney: He keeps track of when the latest edge and teams and zoom are available, we also he also keeps like he has webex, for example, because you know gotta sometimes use that and having it locally, sometimes makes makes sense.
140
00:18:04.170 --> 00:18:10.140
Chris Feeney: But but yeah you know frequently to say it was really cool as i'm i'll take my.
141
00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:19.680
Chris Feeney: My LG laptop out of my gram and i'll Am I ut pocket plugged in as soon as literally as soon as it hits a wi fi connection if there's an updated custom partition.
142
00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:25.770
Chris Feeney: it picks it up immediately and you just see it go through, and it updates i'll take you know zoom or edge, for example.
143
00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:32.460
Chris Feeney: And like literally just a few maybe a minute or so and then it's done, and you know away we go but uh.
144
00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:44.250
Chris Feeney: But yeah having that I mean obviously edge I love it that's great browser you can run all of office, including teams i've done teams, without the teams custom partition just use edge and and run teams calls and.
145
00:18:44.790 --> 00:18:51.870
Chris Feeney: it's a great user experience with that browser but, but having zoom locally is pretty cool.
146
00:18:52.560 --> 00:19:03.360
Chris Feeney: I think, last week, maybe wasn't we talked about Lars had done, you know if you want to have the custom virtual background as a little work brown little script you can do so there's some really, really cool stuff you can do with these things.
147
00:19:04.620 --> 00:19:11.790
Patrick Toner: It really is amazing, I mean yeah you know because there's there's also a knowledge base on the caveat, I, like him, you can actually.
148
00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:18.750
Patrick Toner: it'll show you how to actually do it from scratch right, you can package, one of these applications, but what ron's done here is pretty awesome I mean you can.
149
00:19:19.260 --> 00:19:32.040
Patrick Toner: You can go in, if you want, for example, Google chrome is here, and then get Microsoft edge, you know I jumped by default as firefox chromium built in, but if I wanted one of these these browsers basically he has a little little script I run.
150
00:19:32.820 --> 00:19:34.920
Chris Feeney: yeah The key thing he's done.
151
00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:41.640
Chris Feeney: yeah The key thing is on his finger on what dependencies do you need besides what might already be.
152
00:19:42.450 --> 00:19:57.510
Chris Feeney: On the operating system so there's some applications that might have a dependency for something, and he figures out his script you can look at how he goes and grabs the you know the the core install files, but if there's some other dependency that's needed.
153
00:19:58.530 --> 00:20:05.010
Chris Feeney: To go out there grab it pull it down and then begin your packaging it all up so you can literally walk through that process.
154
00:20:05.550 --> 00:20:15.780
Chris Feeney: or just literally that that script run and do its thing and it it goes through builds it and puts it into a format that allows it to be able to get installed on I gel.
155
00:20:17.070 --> 00:20:22.260
Chris Feeney: bronze and it is amazing how he's done he loves this stuff and you know i'm happy to have him on my team.
156
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:30.990
Patrick Toner: Oh yeah very sharp guy you know and for anyone who's can see the screen here all the all these Linux commands beauty of what brian's done here is you don't need to know any of it.
157
00:20:31.710 --> 00:20:36.660
Patrick Toner: You probably need to know is basic amount of Linux is possible to pack which one of these up.
158
00:20:37.050 --> 00:20:46.050
Patrick Toner: He said to download a file and be able to learn how to run the command and just packages up in a file in a zip file and and then you just deploy it so really cool.
159
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:54.780
Patrick Toner: will also be going way deeper into that on the 28th will probably build a couple on that workshop real time, you know show how it works.
160
00:20:55.380 --> 00:21:00.390
Patrick Toner: So if that's something if you're listening to this that interests you that's going to be a great workshop to attend.
161
00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:08.220
Patrick Toner: And you know I mean when you look through these I mean, these are the opposite of browsers but there's a whole you know there's a whole different you know.
162
00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:14.700
Patrick Toner: repository of different applications, so if I go to Apps I mean just just on an artist so many cool Apps that.
163
00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:23.760
Patrick Toner: You know it's it's worth it's worth taking a poke over there, if you know if you don't know if it's something like spotify you know I don't know if your admins are going to necessarily once you're running spotify but uh.
164
00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:28.050
Chris Feeney: I guess someone at some point she's the one underneath that.
165
00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:29.460
Patrick Toner: steam steam.
166
00:21:29.490 --> 00:21:30.330
Over gamers.
167
00:21:32.130 --> 00:21:35.880
Patrick Toner: Actually that's a good test, maybe for the workshop we'll see if we can play a video game.
168
00:21:36.300 --> 00:21:39.030
Patrick Toner: On an eye gel in real time via.
169
00:21:39.090 --> 00:21:39.420
yeah.
170
00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:42.360
Chris Feeney: A rod rod.
171
00:21:42.390 --> 00:21:51.600
Chris Feeney: Definitely done that but we're playing around so LG has this really cool project we were working on an e sports thing which is basically gaming.
172
00:21:52.020 --> 00:22:08.550
Chris Feeney: And we showed them that hey we could actually run steam and stream these video these a Catholic i'm not a gamer right so honestly I I I said I spent all my gaming days back in the Nintendo early years, so I you know all those brain cells have already kind of been used up so.
173
00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.960
Chris Feeney: me and the controller.
174
00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:11.670
Patrick Toner: back and I days.
175
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:18.030
Patrick Toner: of our dads told us, you Games will never get you anywhere in life now there's people already know millions dollars playing video games.
176
00:22:18.030 --> 00:22:20.430
Chris Feeney: Yes, yeah who would have thought right.
177
00:22:20.760 --> 00:22:29.280
Chris Feeney: Seriously, but and I just wish I could come up with something like as funny as Gary Larson as far side that would have made you know but anyway.
178
00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:31.200
Chris Feeney: But yeah.
179
00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:41.700
Chris Feeney: But, but they they have these tournaments and and you know part of that was showing all that yeah you can run these games literally from from an audio.
180
00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:51.780
Chris Feeney: But the Nice end point obviously you have a good point but yeah there's all kinds of stuff here, and you know who knows it may set the stage for the upcoming ios 12 APP store.
181
00:22:54.060 --> 00:22:56.550
Chris Feeney: Just apple some money on that one sorry APP.
182
00:22:56.670 --> 00:22:57.420
Chris Feeney: APP portal.
183
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:00.780
Chris Feeney: can't call it an APP store.
184
00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:03.270
Patrick Toner: And the apple employees are listening right now you're definitely.
185
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.290
Patrick Toner: Right now.
186
00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:07.080
Chris Feeney: We did not, not what it's going to be called the portal.
187
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:13.260
Patrick Toner: So, Chris are you at liberty to speak of how the approach will change most 12 or is that too early, I don't know I don't know.
188
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:23.820
Chris Feeney: Well yeah I mean no I think at this point it's basically going to be very similar to your phone you get a base operating system for your phone maybe some built in Apps.
189
00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:35.250
Chris Feeney: So, for us it might you know, obviously a terminal ssh thing or whatever like that just basic function that, but if you tend to like other Apps that are normally built in today and include that would be the.
190
00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:46.530
Chris Feeney: Secure workspace horizon lent lent Linux APP things like that a browser all of that will be available through this thing in ios 12 called the APP portal.
191
00:23:47.040 --> 00:24:02.310
Chris Feeney: And you will just grab and pull down what you want, in there, therefore, going forward the operating system can get updated separately and the Apps can be updated separately it's not all at once, for example, like it is today with Ellis 11th so.
192
00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:12.090
Chris Feeney: And it's a lighter you know less full operating system in the sense that it's not like maybe it won't be, as you know, today, maybe I think.
193
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.420
Chris Feeney: With all the clients that are often included.
194
00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:24.360
Chris Feeney: For example, we have citrix three versions of that we've got the horizon we've got Amazon we've got a PCP client we've got.
195
00:24:25.770 --> 00:24:26.430
Chris Feeney: One of the messenger.
196
00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:35.700
Chris Feeney: browsers I mean it all that begins to add up, and in our release notes, you can actually see how big are those applications taking up.
197
00:24:37.260 --> 00:24:44.130
Chris Feeney: And so, going forward it'll be an operating system with the APP stripped out and then you add in the Apps that you want.
198
00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:56.130
Chris Feeney: like to add client or or something like that so that's the approach it'll be kind of like the custom partition is today you'll have to be a way for those Apps to be.
199
00:24:56.790 --> 00:25:12.810
Chris Feeney: built in such a way that they can be installed and only read only ios but the custom partition feature is, I would say sort of going to be the grandfather or the mothership or whatever idea, you know what I mean whatever pick your.
200
00:25:13.020 --> 00:25:19.590
Chris Feeney: pick your SS yeah exactly predecessor, there you go that's a good word the scrabble word man good job.
201
00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:25.800
Patrick Toner: You know, thank you appreciate that but uh yeah you know so so basically today right I.
202
00:25:26.310 --> 00:25:31.170
Patrick Toner: don't owe us 11 everything is just packaged in there, and you know I back when we started agile Christmas.
203
00:25:31.530 --> 00:25:36.570
Patrick Toner: You know the one that we would always tell people it's less than two gigs you know, and it was maybe like 1.7 or 1.8.
204
00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:49.470
Patrick Toner: And then it's just over time crept up right these applications are bigger that you know you're looking at something like zoom vdi you need more versions included, so the US has gotten more bigger it's a lot bigger less it's still a lot about two and a half gigs roughly.
205
00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:59.550
Patrick Toner: Which is still very small compared to other operating systems out there, but oh is 12 do you know the size of like if you just started with 12 zero Apps installed, you know what the sizes.
206
00:26:00.930 --> 00:26:06.450
Chris Feeney: um you know it's a good question I actually built on ios creator stick for.
207
00:26:08.550 --> 00:26:13.170
Chris Feeney: I want to say it's under two gigs but I need to go back and check on that because it was definitely.
208
00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:18.240
Chris Feeney: It was definitely much faster when and install but it's been about a month and a half since i've touched it.
209
00:26:19.470 --> 00:26:20.490
Chris Feeney: I kind of installed it on the.
210
00:26:22.530 --> 00:26:29.250
Chris Feeney: One I put it on the big IP I think I emerged the pocket or something like that, but it didn't take up much, much, much space on it so.
211
00:26:30.510 --> 00:26:32.100
Patrick Toner: it's gotta be a really light.
212
00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:35.790
Patrick Toner: You know image with everything out of it so it's gonna be something big I mean.
213
00:26:35.790 --> 00:26:36.180
Chris Feeney: yeah.
214
00:26:36.300 --> 00:26:44.850
Chris Feeney: You can tell me, I went into like the local setup after I installed, with no Apps on a look and see what was there was definitely stripped down that's for sure so.
215
00:26:46.770 --> 00:26:51.090
Chris Feeney: But but yeah you're just you know once it registers it's just a matter of.
216
00:26:52.290 --> 00:26:58.650
Chris Feeney: Just like you do it normally us you, you get it into a place of either a staging area or.
217
00:26:59.550 --> 00:27:14.700
Chris Feeney: Where it's going to permanently resided and you just just like profiles you put the Apps in there and it begins, adding those things on and in a similar fashion, when we do our custom partition workshop you'll see you know you just kind of added these custom partition.
218
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:31.140
Chris Feeney: Apps essentially to the directory that you're going to install it on and those things begin to install and next thing you know there's icons on the on the desktop or in the start menu, whatever it looks like it's natively installed so it's pretty cool.
219
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:42.300
Patrick Toner: very, very cool well you know I think you know, we should probably maybe just recap wrap up here, Chris you know just kind of the original thing seven signal check it out.
220
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:54.390
Patrick Toner: If you're going to be obsolete they're sponsoring lana I just disrupt on tour, so we probably plug that where you guys are kind of threw them almost it's really not that many left so it looks like there's five left North America.
221
00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:55.740
Chris Feeney: Try.
222
00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:57.630
Patrick Toner: Which is pretty wild you got.
223
00:27:57.810 --> 00:28:05.040
Patrick Toner: It September, you have New York City Canada Toronto Canada Vancouver those will be Michael berman's stomping grounds and then.
224
00:28:06.030 --> 00:28:13.650
Patrick Toner: October six and Houston October 20 and nashville and I guess that's a wrap so if you're listening you're near that one of those cities.
225
00:28:13.950 --> 00:28:22.230
Patrick Toner: Those are that's your opportunity to get out and maybe see some of these technologies as integral have a big presence install them and have you know throughout all of the different disrupts.
226
00:28:24.150 --> 00:28:29.130
Patrick Toner: check it out and check that out, but uh yeah and also again just to recap.
227
00:28:29.970 --> 00:28:41.820
Patrick Toner: You know, if you want to learn more about custom partition July 28 Chris and I with RON will be will be going deep and we'll walk through it and it'll be an awesome opportunity to learn about custom partitions ask questions.
228
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.150
Patrick Toner: You know, ask someone like RON about how he's doing it now just going to be a great opportunity to learn.
229
00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:54.180
Patrick Toner: them so looking forward to those Chris any other thoughts before we wrap this thing up.
230
00:28:55.380 --> 00:29:01.920
Chris Feeney: No, I hope, you're moving goes well coming up just a few days away from now right so.
231
00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:06.000
Patrick Toner: Two days and trust me i'm it's not like i'm counting down the minutes or anything but.
232
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.850
Patrick Toner: LIFE has been in flux for six weeks so we're we're looking for.
233
00:29:13.170 --> 00:29:27.810
Chris Feeney: awesome now well i'm looking forward to the workshop here in a few weeks so other than that everybody have a great holiday July 4 holiday and and happy independence safe for those who live in America.
234
00:29:28.650 --> 00:29:32.400
Patrick Toner: There you go to our Canadian listeners just have a nice weekend.
235
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:33.570
So yeah.
236
00:29:35.490 --> 00:29:40.050
Patrick Toner: Thank you, everybody and we'll talk to you on the next one, have a great July 4 take care.
237
00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.520
Chris Feeney: All right, take care.
