I am really not happy with the vShield 4.X->5 upgrade process. Having to rip everything out and then double reboot each guest is the suck #

I just unlocked the "Baker's Dozen" badge on @foursquare! Mmm…carbs. http://t.co/oIdQtDmN #

RT @slmandel It's February. Signing Day is behind us. Great to see college hoops season begin today. #

I just unlocked the “Flame Broiled” badge on @foursquare! Cheeseburgers all around! http://t.co/19YsBd8x #

I am ready for football #

You know it's a monday when nothing I have listened to is slower than 140bpm. #fb #

So the tar ball that the #Vmware #Vshield 5 upgrade doc refers to – isn't available for download. Opened a ticket and support is confused #

Had a case open with #vmware now for about a week to try to get the vShield 5 manager upgrade tar ball – still nothing #

Amazon is not helping things with all their $10 credits for pre-orders. Doing a great job of driving my business away from Gamestop though #

The upgrade of vShield to 5.0 is HORRENDOUS – nothing but problems so far #vmware #

#Verizon is having a major problem in Newark NJ – fun times. MPLS is a mess as a result – good times #

So I am licensed for both
vCenter Server 5 Standard and
vCenter Server 5 Standard for View 5 – Are we unlocking different things? #vmware #

Ran into :http://t.co/IrKN4onR #

Attempt #2 of vSphere 5 upgrade tonight after some DB massaging #VMware #

vCenter 5 running in Prod now – HA was not happy – having to manually fix some boxes #

This conference call's passcode is 12 digits…really? Do we need 12 digits for a con-call? #

I have an intense dislike for #vmware 's phone tree #

Someone offer me concierge support just to navigate these god damn menus. Why can't I just speak the product I want? #VMware #

According to #vmware KB – the fix for this to to remove all the hosts from vCenter and re-add them. Why don't I just reinstall from scratch #

1st engineer at #VMware had to transfer me – wasn't trained yet on vSphere 5. This is going well… #

So – upgrading vSheild Endpoint to 5.0 is kind of a bitch #VMware #

The radio feature on Spotify is terrible. If I am listening to Led Zepplin …something similar =! T-Pain #

Snow is nice when I don't have to shovel #

vSphere 5 upgrade this week now that the Lab Manager issues have been dealt with. yay #vmware #

This game is boring …. #

How many drinks is it every time they say Honey Badger? Dear god he has a name #

So I managed to organize all my vSphere 5 installers to a very secure location…that I can't find… #

I have to go to best buy tonight – I don't WANT to go to best buy – but I need an external drive sorta ASAP and it's close.. ugh #

My Boxee Box may be one of the better purchases I have made. It just works – and Crunchyroll streams really well #

So HP G7 Microserver is a great little box – too bad the eSata adapter doesn't support port multiplication. Otherwise nice hardware #

It's almost noon and I haven't actually to any of the things I need to do today yet. ugh #fb #

So I am playing around with a @Pogoplug – and the drive I have connected to it keeps disappearing. thats a huge pita #

Still mired in Pre-vSphere 5 upgrade tasks. SQL 2005 needs an upgrade. Good times. #VMware #

Anyone seen a few #VMware view boxes just loose their NICs. Had a couple users complaining they couldn't work – lo and behold – no NICS #

Can faxing please die? I really wanted to spend my day troubleshooting Cisco ATA issues & SIP – blah #

Graham is a freak of an athlete – awesome catch and run #

Watching football all day has to be one of the best things a person can do with their time #

Just some fantastic football today. Great way to start the new year #

Did they just call West Virginia a part of Virginia during the Sugar Bowl ? #WVU #

Nothing like traffic to start the new year #

Dealing with some outstanding expense reports – awesome… #

Sat Radio for our 3 cars is actually pretty damn expensive for the year. ~375 seems pretty ridiculous. #fb #

So when is 5 of VCOPs supposed to be released? #VMware #

Ready for some #WVU football tonight. Let's goooooooooo! #fb #

Glad to see the #WVU offense coming out hot. Let's Gooooo! #

Let's Goooooooooo Mountaineers ! #

So we might be able to smell the couches burning from NJ at this rate #wvu #

Did the entire #WVU team down 3 or 4 red bulls ? #

It's Friday already? Been a long week just trying to catch back up. #

Anyone ever moved Lab Manager servers to a new vCenter? I am expecting "bad things" Need to migrate ours so we can upgrade to 5 #VMware #

I loathe reviews and Self Assessments #fb #

I see the twitter spam in the new year is …robust.. #

Good times in NYC #

$14 for a 3 foot cat5e cable. Really Best Buy? #

Everyone get what they wanted ? #

I do love me some vacation – I have a feeling through when I get back to the office I might be buried. Oh well! #

happy new year all #

My sinuses and I aren't on speaking terms. Apparently there may be some sorr of wildcat strike in my head #

Hey @Allstate I think your agents need to remember how to return calls. Really poor communication #

Merry Christmas folks #

I just unlocked the Level 2 "Greasy Spoon" badge on @foursquare! In it to win it! http://t.co/Uf1SSj92 #

Say what you will but Denver is fun to watch. I am rooting for the Broncos for the superbowl just to watch the talking heads explode #

Taking Mom Christmas shopping. Hopefully my Mall-Fu is still up to snuff #

Macy's in Bridgewater has some terrible help today #

Thanks dan @gametop. Great customer service from the Morris Plains NJ store #

So pilots are going to be allowed to use iPads instead of paper charts ..but mine will cause a crash? Ok FAA – you look dumb now… #fb #

Hey Towne Vision. If you are going to have a website with hours. How about keeping them accurate #lostmybusiness #

Whee – native view client for my Mac. It's a Festivus miracle! #vmware #thankgod #fetivus #

Disappointed now Ok. St. In the national title game. What happens if 'bama wins now ? Best 2 out of 3? #wvu #

Back to work post vacation. Always ugly #

OK call of the wildman on animal planet is crazy. Live action! #

So I can't upgrade my production vCenter servers to 5 because of Lab Manager. This really annoys me ..again #vmware #fail #shittyroadmap #

I just unlocked the “Mall Rat” badge on @foursquare! Time for a fancy pretzel. http://t.co/EnhUL82q #

There is something to be said for sleeping till noon once in a while #
