Hello all,
I hope everyone is good? I am on PTO with my wife and have had a wonderful time. Jasper, Alberta is a wonderful area. I have some time on my own today so I can do this newsletter.
Did you see the article from Friday? It was from a new guest author and I thought it quite interesting.
I have some good stuff to share, so lets get started!
Have a great week!

You would be amazed how much data we recieved and Log Insight was a champion with it.
