One week till we build a new data center. Only a zillion things left to do #
I may murder visio – that is all. #
hotel booked for DC build out – Do I want to Acela or take a car. Leaning to train so I can get some work done. #
4 meetings about the same subject today. Let's go for 5! #
So my @Sonos just decided to not mesh any more – thats just awesome. Nothing like having to do Yoga to try to push the damn buttons again #
Wonder if my QoS is causing some issues – which would make little to no sense #
There is something satisfying about saturating an aggregated 80Gbits of bandwidth #
So how many folks called out sick to play the Diablos ? #
My new 15 cu Ft. freezer comes tomorrow. Why is this so exciting.. oh yeah.. more cow #
Can I move a #CiscoUCS b200 between UCS clusters and keep the local drives intact? I.E – not wiping out the mirror? #
Another VNX 5500 and 5700 installed. Just 3 more 5700s to go. #emc #
One more day of prep – then lots and lots of rack/stack. 96 B230M2 ESXi servers to build ;0 #vmware #CiscoUCS #
Looks to be a great day for a BBQ. #
Enjoyed the first BBQ of the year. Hopefully the start of many to come #
Packing for the data center build out. Glad I decided on the acela. Just so Mich easier #

If you need a fantastic VAR – call Datalink. These guys really go to the mat for me #
I love #CiscoUCS -but god damn do blades take a while to boot with 512GB of ram #
Well this 50 TB copy might take a while… #

Happy that my beautiful wife is back home safe #fb #
I just ousted Jose M. as the mayor of Summit Car Wash on @foursquare! http://t.co/KrVtCz9T #

Two VNX5700 and 24 disk shelves takes up lots of space when boxed up..my lord #

Syndicate just wasn't a very good game #
Anyone ever see a #VMware vswitch not take a port change after reboot – i.e 56 -> 258 – reboot – but then back to 56? #
Home sick – these changes in seasons get me every year – ugh #

Enjoying a relaxing Sunday #
Re-doing my exchange rules – I hate Monday #
Hey @Cisco Tidal guys – really? You are going to accuse my team of lying straight out to me? I trust them a lot more than you… #
If you need orchestration – DON'T USE TIDAL – support is awful #
Apparently this is the week of crappy tech support experiences – ugh #
My wife is such an awesome cook #
Nice #vBeers event in NJ next week. And it's close – there is win all around here #
Just got my perm keys for #VMware Operations manager. Good stuff. Now to go toggle some more levers #

Should I go to the IT Management Program or the regular Engineering sessions at Cisco Live this year – I guess this is a good problem #
I could get used to this weather. #
This week just needs to end. Brutal stuff #
Enjoyed some drinks and a board game with good friends. #
