Mr. Bump on Mar 31st, 2009Conflick This!
T-minus two hours until 4/1. Are you ready for what is bound to be the biggest disappointment since Y2K? My bet is that midnight rolls around and…nothing.
I was reading Mitchell Ashley’s latest post over at NetworkWorld tonight and was a taken aback by something he wrote in regards to the level of nerdery you keep in […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 26th, 2009Roll Tide! It’s Rolling, Baby. It’s Rolling!
Coming at you like a tidal wave….BITW is ramping back up.
I was free. I had done my changes for the night and was getting ready to shutdown and take my sorry ass home. Life was good at 6:38 PM. Then one minute later it all changed. I get the following email from Rainman about an ESX problem:
I […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 25th, 2009Creativity Breakthrough
I had a major breakthrough today on why BITW has more or less gone dark for the last three weeks. It’s almost been one of those “the day the music died” deals. The creative inspiration for much of the dribble that made it to a post was some how related to Rainman. The day he moved […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 17th, 2009The First Cut Is The Deepest
We’ve all had it happen. You buy that new car and you protect it for as long as you can but eventually that first scratch is gonna come. The real question is…is it better to hold off as long as you can for that first scratch or just “bite the bullet” and get it over […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 15th, 2009Call The Milk Man
Have him remove my “missing person” picture from the back of the carton! I’ve been unusually quiet ’round these parts for not having gone on vacation. I was eyeball deep in a domain upgrade and was focusing on the task at hand. Unfortunately for BITW, it was shoved to the side and neglected. Now that I […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 9th, 2009Ahhh, My Eyes
Courtesy of Gizmodo…thanks for blinding me with nerdery!
Mr. Bump on Mar 4th, 2009The Hungry Hunt
This week I reached a “milestone” at my current gig. 5 years of employment. If you would have told me five years ago that I’d still be at this job today I would have told the bartender to order me one of whatever it is you were drinking. Prior to this job, the longest I’d stayed […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 3rd, 2009Imagine If You Will
Imagine this scene: A nice neighborhood with nice houses. The sky is blue, the grass is green and the temperature is a perfect 75 degrees. In front of one house is a loaded moving van and two families who have lived next door to each other for the last five years gathered in the driveway. As the […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 2nd, 2009Now How Can I Trust You?
I’ve been chasing a saturated T1 since Thursday and I had been using Netflow to get information on what was using all of the bandwidth. The top conversations were showing source and destination addresses for networks that were not ours. I found this perplexing to say the least. Everything that I know about routing told me […]
Mr. Bump on Mar 2nd, 2009Powerful Movie
If you get the chance to watch Taking Chance on HBO this month I highly suggested it. Its about a military escort’s trip to return a soldier who had been killed in action in Iraq. Slumdog Millionaire can take their Oscar and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. I’ll take Taking Chance anyday of the […]
