VMworld presentation 2300 “The Secret World of Certification Success”

We’ve historically had difficulty getting exam prep-like presentations at VMworld but given the change in certification with a re-certification policy it may be worthwhile to have an official presentation on it. So I put it in. Now.. If you’re interested in seeing this, I will need votes to get it into the “approved” state. So vote now and vote often....

Random Tidbits: Firefox Memory Leak

I probably should use Chrome or Safari (I’m on a Mac) but over the years I’ve become rather attached to using Firefox. Originally, it was because I wasn’t fond of how integrated (and security prone) Internet Explorer was.

A Look into Snapshots (video)

So for a change of pace I figured I’d give a try to a video. I’m in the process of trying to create others for my existing book to help supplement some of the material. And since I was in the mind of recording, I figured why not do this blog entry as a recording. [cincopa AEAAbk7rSUlT]

Thoughts on the VCAP-DTD

So last night I wrote (and passed! YAY!) my VCAP-DTD exam. I figured it may be worthwhile to put down some thoughts on the exam as it may be different than others since I was also part of the team that actually created it.

But remember that...

(re)Learning to talk

So for this blog entry I decided to try something new. In fact I’d actually writing this, so to speak, without actually typing. I decided to invest in the nuance Dragon speaking product. It has been around for quite a while and used primarily on Windows platform. However, using it on a Mac that has the latest Mac OS 10...
