Portland VMUG

Andy — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 04:10:58 +0000

As I was slowly waking up this morning, Natalie asked if I would be going downtown and if so would I be interested in attending the Portland Area VMware Users Group meeting today. I had been wanted to attend for some time now, but as a traveling consultant it does make it a bit hard to plan that far in advance.

The meeting today was held at the Conway building near NW 23rd St. While I was forced to miss the first presentation due to a prior engagement, I did get the opportunity to see Vizioncore’s new flagship VM monitoring solution, vFoglight, and Tripwire’s latest product, vWire. Naturally, I am partial to vWire

If you have even the slightest interest in visualization, it is well worth the time to visit. Oh yes, and the lunches were amazing!

BSG Summary and Flow Chart

While the last episode of BSG will remain a controversy forever, love it or hate it, you probably found that having everything revealed in the last eight episodes or so was quite a bit to digest. I found a link to this picture on Twitter, and it helps sum up the history quite well.

Rush Limbaugh Upset Over New Taxes on Wealthy

Andy — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:45:07 +0000

From Rush’s March 30th radio show, he expressed utter discontent over the new taxes laws going into effect in New York on citizens making over $500k a year:

Is Rush really trying to gain sympathy from his listeners who are majority male, conservative or independent, from middle- to low- income tax brackets? Please vacate New York for some place like Nebraska or South Dakota, and don’t get lost on the way.

New Gallery Site Update

Andy — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:15:03 +0000

Good evening, well efforts on migrating to a new Gallery website are progressing. The move was triggered by a routing issue with Comcast affecting Washington customers who get a “No route to host” error when trying to connect, all other networks are fine. Trying to explain a routing problem to their tech support is like to trying to discuss arithmetic to a pidgin, they just bob their heads. Anyway, the new site will be:

http://andyandnataliepics.com

I am in the middle of migrating 21GB of data over to it, so needless to say do not expect any content to be posted until at least late Friday.

UPDATE 3/27/08 7:37p: Progress continues on the mass upload, slowly but surely. Again hopefully by tomorrow night or Saturday night at the latest this site will be fully functional.
