13thSelfish Self Promotion : Vote For Me!
I don’t usually do this. I prefer for the fruits of my labor to speak for themselves. I didn’t really promote my VMworld session for this reason. My theory was, if people want to see my session they will come if not they probably should be in Chad’s or Scott’s anyways And all the plugins, virtual storage appliance, coding, and work for the community I do because I like to. Out of this I have made a great number of friends and have been having the time of my life. I say all this because Eric Siebert has now officially opened voting for Top 25 Virtualization Blogs. This is something that I have used back before I knew anyone to find all the great virtualization peeps out there. So all I ask is this: If something I have contributed from this site has benefited you in some way consider giving me a vote. Whether the vSphere Mini Monitor, Celerra UBER VSA’s, vSphere WordPress Plugin, or blog articles about my job any consideration is appreciated. It would be really cool to show up somewhere in the final vote. Maybe not top 25 but top 50 would be awesome. And I promise to take every vote as a sign I am helping and also promise some extremely cool stuff/posts in the near future. So there is my selfish request, now back to creating stuff. And even if you don’t vote a single one for me. GO VOTE. Feedback is the key to [...]

12thShow And Tell : First vSphere Plugin for WordPress!
I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff you come up with next… That was something Chad Sakac told me a few months ago. Back before my latest Celerra VSA version (get it here), or my UIM appliance (sorry that one is vSpecialists eyes only right now). I really have not done anything off the wall recently. Most of my day to day effort is dedicated to absorbing the information fire-hose that my team deals out on a daily basis. I have a couple of side projects I have been wanting to catch up on but they are all to big to start at the moment. And to be honest it has been getting to me. I like contributing to the vSphere community and it has been a while (in my head at least) since I released something for that purpose. So in that spirit I had a brainstorm Friday evening (2 days ago). I had been working on my blog and had a sudden crazy idea… What if there was a WordPress plugin that would display stats from my vSphere home lab or work? Wouldn’t that rock?? Turns out there isn’t one. Or at least there wasn’t one till till now. After a weekend of coding I am happy to present the first WordPress Plugin for VMware vSphere: WP-vSphereStats If you are super observant you may have noticed the plugin is actually running in the sidebar on the left. Basically the way it works is pretty simple. The WP-vSphereStats [...]
