The VMguy

After 17 years in the PC industry I have finished my conversion to my first Mac.  I can remember my days at Limited Brands when the design department used them religiously.  11 PC people with me on staff at Victoria’s Secret back in those days and we had to outsource the support of the Macs.  Surely none of us wanted to touch them.  Now, 10 years later, I find myself on one.

My decision to go to a Macbook was not based on “the cool factor”.  It was 3 things for me: battery life, reliability, and sturdyness (I’m a bit rough on laptops). Read the rest of this entry »

Just a quick thank you note to Eric at Vmware-land.com  In case you haven’t seen it, Eric has the best collection of VMware related links I have ever seen.  I tend to look to his website as a great reference when I go looking for things.

The best new section is the VMware launch portal vlp.vmware-land.com This is an outstanding resource for new and old administrators.  Definitely worth bookmarking if you have not already.

Looks like someone made #16!  Now on to challenge Duncan at Yellow-bricks.com .  I’m gunnin for ya Duncan!

I had the poll automatically complete last friday and here are the results:  Of 110 votes cast by my readers, 57 of you said you run vCenter in a VM, 50 run it on Physical, and 3 don’t run vCenter at all.

Great information and thank you all that responded to the poll.

Posted a new poll this past weekend.  I see some have already started responding.  I know a few blogs have run this one in the past but I’m curious with my SMB focus to see if the results vary.  Please take a quick sec and post a vote.  I’m closing the poll on March 7th (an extra week because I started it late).

Just as a FYI, I run mine in a VM.
