IT ops startup Boundary raises $22m C round to expand R&D, sales and marketing (451 Reports)

I always found it hard to find the market sizing for “systems management delivered…

Will the blighters pay this time? Betting big on developers (Register Column)
One of my collegues at 451 asked if I’d be interested in taking over his column at The Register. Of course I would, that’s only about my favorite news outlet ever. My first column is up now, all about what feels to me like the re-emergence of the developer market (tools and middleware), a theme…

After seeing one of the other SDN forecast studies referenced here, one of my 451 collegues sent some finding from our recent (August 2013) survey on software defined networking usage: TheInfoPro survey has adoption at a much lower level.

Extreme Programming, 14 years later
[F]ourteen years ago it was wildly controversial. Indeed, it was so controversial that whole books were published describing how this couldn’t possibly work, and how all the proponents were knuckle-dragging, money-grubbing, nitwits who never wrote a line of code in their lives and….

Old tile shards from our house
This is a little "home archeology." Our relatively young home was built in 1949 and under the large kitchen add-on we have, there’s (at least) two structures: an old porch that was left there stupidly as a support beam and the remnants of an early kitchen floor – two or three levels of it! This…
