Returning back to basics…

After having a busy period in life and work, things seemed to have settled. The past few years has had me still doing VDI teaching but now in a true cloud environment. Specifically, Horizon Cloud Services on Microsoft Azure (HCSMA). When I first started teaching this back in 2018, I wasn’t too sure whether this would be a course that...

VMworld 2016: Still lots of walking (but worth it!)

So for those unaware, I am again at VMworld and it’s refreshing to be in Vegas after many years in San Francisco. Still lots of walking (or so says my Fitbit). Additional to my usual duties at the Education Lounge (come visit us in the VMVillage), there are a few sessions that we’re doing this year. Some are at the...

D’oh Moment: The Site

So as some have noted, my site started to appear under Google’s phishing warning. It was worse than that. It had been fully compromised and was used to send out spam emails. Needless to say, there was a bit to learn from all this after taking almost two weeks to clean everything up.

VCP6-DTM: Study guide

Ok. So I’m not the fastest writer in the world. I’m still somewhere trying to work on the 2nd Edition of the VCP-DTM (Desktop Mobility) book and it is a slow slog. I admit that sometimes I let other things take priority and.. oh! look! shiny object! Oh, wait.. where was I? Oh.. right. I was asked recently about what...

vSphere New and Old Feature: TCP/IP Stacks Galore

So recently I’ve been busy with travel, specifically spending time in Singapore and Bangalore teaching colleagues (my Bangalore colleagues keep saying that the food is “just a little spicy”… HA!) all the neat new features in vSphere 6.0 along with updates for Horizon 6 Version 6.1. (View specifically). As part of this training we ran into some neat new facts...

Mirage 5.0 ICM Beta Class

Yay! It’s beta class time again! This time, it’s an update for the Mirage 5.0 Install, Configure, Manage (or, Mirage 5.0 ICM). This class will be held in Los Angeles (5 min south of LAX so easy to access and lots of hotel options). This particular course has a lot of neat changes happening: 1. There’s an extra day with...

KB Find of the Day: MSCS and vCenter

It was never “official” and then was deemed completely not supported and that Neverfail Heartbeat was the officially supported mechanism. I have to admit in all my time in Global Support and as an instructor (9 years combined), I’ve...

I’m here! I swear!

So it’s been a while. Ok. It’s been longer than a while. Life got somewhat busy and there wasn’t, in my humble opinion, much I could add in regards to what is out there but this will be part of a project of things I’ll be working on this fall. So… what have I been up to? A...
