When you meet a new person in your field, one easy small talk question to ask them is: “if you were [insert your company name here], what would you do?” It gets you some free consulting, lets someone talk about themselves and things they know, and, you know, just gives you something to talk about…

How I got 8,700 views for my talk about developer productivity.
The recording of one of my talks has 8,400 views. That’s a lot more than other talk recordings. How does YouTube work, I sure don’t know! Confusing it more is that the same talk given at a different conference has 85 views. At least I wore a different shirt each time. Oh, and while I’m…

Tactics for having a good executive dinner
I’ve hosted a lot of executive dinners for work – maybe 50 or 60 over the past several years…? These are commercial oriented. At my work, we’re trying to meet new people to sell our software to, or people who know people, etc. Getting to know “executives” is directly related to the sales process. The…

How to Run an Effective Networking Dinner
After the initial kibitzing, I recommend standing up and doing a small toast (if it’s a dinner meeting) and introduce a “topic.” For boards this can be an issue you’ve been debating as a management team that you don’t plan to cover off at the board meeting or you can even go a little bit…

Link: GKE On-Prem
Networking considered hard: “The amusing thing is that they wanted to connect a GKE On-Prem install running on VSphere for the demo. They could not get a public IP, so they just used MiniKube.

Link: The New HPE Sheriff Lays Down The Hybrid IT Law
“The larger problem, as we have pointed out before, is that it is very difficult to make a buck in the server, storage, and networking business with so many big buyers pushing down prices, enterprises shifting some compute from their own datacenters to public clouds (and therefore some of their budgets from capex to opex),…

Link: Cisco jumps on the Kubernetes bandwagon with its new Container Platform
“The company said the Container Platform takes care of the “setup, orchestration, authentication, monitoring, networking, load balancing and optimization” of containers. Deployment of containers is also simplified through automation, as the platform takes care of the most repetitive tasks in this process. It can also be extended to other important aspects of IT, such as…

Networking in OpenStack
In many ways, Neutron’s failure and planned rebirth are a metaphor for OpenStack as a whole, with the tech promising too much at the start, becoming overly dependent on vendors, and only being fixed when paying punters started to confront its weaknesses. As the OpenStack collective learn these lessons the hope is that they will…

JavaOne: JXTA
Project JXTA: Open P2P Architecture Platform (TS-2915), Tuesday As I said earlier, JXTA has been the most interesting thing so far. The Tuesday session was presented by Bernard Traversat; I believe he’s the JXTA bigwig at Sun. As a pronunciation note, everyone seems to say “Jux-tah,” not “J-X-T-A.” What is JXTA? In short, JXTA is…
