VMware’s new vCloud Director Client for iPad carries on the version 1.0 tradition of VMware software releases with missing or non-operational features, but it is VMware and they will update this into a stellar application.
The buildup of our new sandbox for internal learning has run for a week and already we are running out of resources. Five old Dell PE1430 with 2 4-core processors but they max out at 8 GiB of RAM. That’s 40 GiB total for 7-8 people. This is a little tight. Digging through dead server storage(tm) I have found a […]
While at VMworld 2011, I spent a lot of time at the expo (where companies were peddling their wares) looking for 2 items. Storage vendors who do things via NFS. Monitoring and measurement companies to help me consolidate the multiple pieces of software we run today. This post is about #2. I looked at a ton of software while at […]
I’m not alone with this annoyance based on my few talks with other people and some internet findings. Why does Lion keep resizing my horizontal window settings for Terminal.app? It is driving me insane. Here’s the deal – I have 6 windows in my default group and all of them are 80 columns wide and 36 lines tall.
While the NDA is in place I can’t talk about the details but I am very excited for this to hit GM. The new features and updates are a very welcome change. Lots of “fun” coming, lots of usability improvements, and very stable. I’m hoping the rumors are true and Apple announces this the first week of October, 2011.
I was in Las Vegas for VMworld 2011 this past week and what a busy week it was! 20,000+ people in attendance! I met many amazing people, saw quite a few new products, I enjoyed it 100%.
Isilon – makers of what look to be a very cool scale-out NAS solution just sent me an email. Now, I was expecting their email, so this isn’t an issue of spam at all (in fact, when they scanned my badge at VMware Forum I commented that I would be watching for their email, and to be honest, I said […]
Over at troll-haven Tech-Seeker, the author posted a completely incorrect comparison between buying a PC and a Mac Pro without any real apples to apples comparisons in the hardware. Besides the complete failure to match up the systems, the hardware chosen is woefully out of date. Apple hasn’t sold a 24″ display in a long time, nor are 512MB video […]
So awesome! The Internet delivers. Quite a few to stream. My kids are getting much enjoyment watching movies I watched when I was a kid. Thanks, Netflix!
