THWACK MONTHLY MISSION - JANUARY 2023
kpina 24 days ago 1 minute read time
Picture it – it's 3023, and you wake up out of your levitating bed (better for
the back). You tell your virtual home assistant to open your blinds so you can
see the view from your home on the 204th floor of the building. Your robotic dog
brings you the news via a projected image shooting out of his eyes. The first
thing on today’s list is a memory from a millennium ago when you talked
about tech predictions on THWACK with the SolarWinds Head Geeks™. You learned
about what might come in the near future, all in the name of a prosperous IT
tomorrow. There are some plot holes to this image, I know, but one thing is for
certain: we love talking tech with our IT pros. Join us this month as we look
forward to 2023 and beyond.
JANUARY MISSION
Use the mission’s resources to complete the tasks and answer the questions for a
chance to win!
Answer each question correctly during the week and you'll be entered for a
chance to win the weekly prize.
Answer all 20 questions correctly over the course of the month and you'll be
entered for a chance to win the grand prize.
150 points are being awarded for each correctly answered question. There are 20
questions, which means you can earn a maximum of 3,000 points for this mission.
Weekly Prize Drawing Dates:
* Week 1: January 9, 2023: Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard
* Week 2: January 16, 2023: Novium Hoverpen 2.0
* Week 3: January 23, 2023: Self-Sustaining Desktop Aquarium

404 error on the last question
* smttysmth02gt 16 days ago +5
Boooo...today's question is iffy. One possible answer probably shouldn't be
there. It almost seems intentionally misleading.....

"Introduction of New Solutions and the Move to Observability
Thankfully, there are some tools on the market proving to be invaluable for
companies."
* moy 14 days ago in reply to smttysmth02gt
More tools does not mean too many. Got me!

Hey everyone! Thanks for your patience today, there was a bit of a snafu with
Sascha's blog. If you weren't aware, Sascha is out on a much deserved month
off (a sabbatical) that SW offers to anyone with 5+ years tenure. We've reset
today's question so you all have a fair shot at participating.
* jeremymayfield 15 days ago in reply to kpina
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I have been a customer of SolarWinds
since 2004 with different companies, do I get a sabbatical?
* undesired_result 15 days ago in reply to kpina
thank you! Just FYI the new answer choices are multiple selection
checkboxes, and not single selection radio buttons
* kpina 15 days ago in reply to undesired_result
undesired_result thank you
* kpina 23 days ago
Welcome to 2023 missions everyone! Hope you had a great break, we're excited
for what this year has in store!
* jeremymayfield 23 days ago in reply to kpina
We are excited for sure. Here is to a new year, the odd ones are the best
anyway.
* planglois 22 days ago in reply to kpina
We're also excited for what the store has for us ;)
* venkatasaibabu.koppula 20 days ago in reply to kpina
YES
