No one could ever accuse me of being a shutterbug. I’m more of a casual photographer and much most of that was from mobile devices. But that’s not the be-all-end-all. I’ve also got scores of scans of old photographs, screenshots, and a bunch of other graphics that have accumulated over the years. Thankfully modern mobile…
Containers are everywhere and I’m, personally, behind the times. I’d like to think that I’ve kept up with new technology trends, but on containers I was caught napping. So now it’s time to really get cracking and for that I need to have a playground. There are several online options available, but I’m cheap, so…
Now that you’ve gotten ready for the climate and have done your preparation for the conference, it’s time to turn your attention to the celebration.
So a friend of mine mentioned an article that I posted 6 years ago on THWACK about a NetFlow Repeater. I’ve since made some updates to this virtual machine even though the program at it’s heart (samplicator) hasn’t had any updates in the last few years (actually since 2015). Here’s my latest version of that…
The first “C” of the Tech Conference Survival Guide is Climate where I explained how to prepare for the summer season and technology conferences in climates maybe outside your comfort zones. The next “C” on our agenda is Conference. This is where I’ll talk about how to survive the conference itself. With so much coming…
The transition from summer to autumn is the season of Tech Conferences. Once again, I’ll be traveling to Las Vegas to partake in the splendor that is VMworld. There are a few things to keep in mind when traveling to a technology conference. For me, it splits into the three C’s: Climate, Conference, & Celebration.
Over the years, I’ve worked for various organizations and most have had a fairly routine process for applying patches. The best of these uses a defined Change Management window during which the patches were deployed and the computers rebooted (if necessary). This post is not a recommendation on when to do this or how to do…
I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) since I was about 16 years old. It was also about that time (possibly coincidentally) that I also became engrossed with computing. Not just watching-my-fake-family-die-from-dysentery computing, but how computers worked and why the field of computing was important.
If you’ve read any of my posts in the past, you know that I’ve got a lab at the office. Part of this includes a handful of Exchange Servers. To better simulate “real-world” (not stress-test) simulations, I want to send messages around the organization. Thankfully, I’ve had some experience with Exchange Web Services (EWS) in…
