"There's an app for that" is one of my favorite slogans. Do you want to look up a famous quote? Count your consumed calories? Look up a reference on regular expressions? There's an app for that.

As many of you probably know, today is Veteran's Day here in the United States. It's been an especially good week for me as yesterday was also the 235th birthday of the United States Marine Corps and I got to have lunch that day with two friends that had the distinct honor of serving as US Marines.

Well, really I was in the SolarWinds booth, but the vendor booths were in the hallway, so there I was nonetheless. SpiceWorld is the annual conference of SpiceWorks, which, functionally speaking, is a…
Upgrading to SCOM 2012? If you are, now might be the time to think about why you have SCOM in the first place. For a lot of companies, SCOM is one of those things that came along as part of a package deal. You didn’t really choose it, but it was either very inexpensive or free, and it works ok. Sure, it’s a bit difficult…
This Sunday I'm leaving my home here in Austin TX and heading out to Las Vegas for Cisco Live!. Cisco Networkers (as us old-schoolers still lovingly refer to it) is without a doubt the best show in the world for network engineering, network administration, and network management. Anyone who works in these fields should be…
