I am happy to see how many sites are participating in the SOPA/PIPA protest today. I am a bit disapointed that facebook did not join (at least yet), and google only doing a doodle seems a little bit on the weak side. Still its nice when  so many people can show support for something so threatening. There is quite a list of sites that are blacked out in one way or another today.

I encourage you to voice your opposition to SOPA and PIPA as well.  Follow the link below for an easy way to get your representatives contact information, and send them an email.

I just wanted to share my NetApp customer service experience since usually people only share negative experiences. I needed to download a mib for a NetApp today. I really don’t like that I have to register an account just to download a mib but whatever. I was really upset after registering the account and entering a system-id to find that I didn’t have access to download any mibs.

I saw that feedback button glaring at me so decided to give it a shot, left a “very dissatisfied” about download experience review. Within an hour I had an email that my access had been changed, and I now have access to download the mibs.

Good job NetApp, in my experience those feedback forms usually go unanswered.

Just a reminder that Xen Day Boston 2011 is coming up (December 9th).

There’s still room to register, but spots are going fast!

If you’re going to LISA in Boston this year consider registering for Xen Day on Friday Dec, 9. Registration is free and the schedule looks great.

He was quiet and mysterious, a man of few words that loved his work. (more…)
