Published Feb 12, 2015

VMware recognized my contributions to the virtualization community by awarding me their vExpert title. Many thanks to everybody who made that possible, the readers of this blog, the attendees of my presentations, the users of my tools and all the great people of the virtualization community!

vExpert-2015-Badge

I am very happy to be one of the few who have been awarded as Citrix CTP, Microsoft MVP and VMware vExpert at the same time. And I am probably the only one also having received a Splunk Revolution award ;-)

VCNRW - Your Friendly Local Virtualization Community

In the past years I have attended many different conferences and user group meetings. Apart from the fact that every single one of them was great and definitely worth the while they all had another thing in common: getting there involved a significant amount of travel, in most cases to other countries or even continents. Whenever I read someone’s account of a local community meeting I was a tiny little bit envious that they had such things near their homes and I did not. High time to do something about it!

Should I Have Separate Personal & Professional Twitter Accounts?

Should I Have Separate Personal & Professional Twitter Accounts?

That was a question I was asking myself more and more recently. After a bit of deliberation, I answered it with yes. This article summarizes my reasoning. My Twitter History I have been on Twitter for more than 11 years. If I remember correctly, Brian Madden - whose website was extremely popular in the Citrix community at the time - had urged people to join Twitter a little earlier. I responded to Brian’s call and quickly realized that Twitter was a great platform that allows people with a common interest to identify each other and communicate. In my case, that interest was end-user computing, of course, the products and technologies from companies like Citrix or Microsoft. After joining Twitter, at conferences, many of the names were known to me, and sometimes I to them. Getting into contact was so much easier. The major difficulty was recognizing someone from their Twitter profile picture (something we often joked about).

Filebrowser is being archived. As the author writes, the codebase dates back to when he was but 15 years old. Having created such a popular file management tool is a more than impressive achievement for anyone, let alone a teenager. However, when it comes to security and reliability, Filebrowser seems to be built on a less than ideal foundation, so much so that the author states:
