Holiday Discounts from VMware

Leave a Comment

Tis the season, for giving and receiving.  And for a limit time, VMware (my employer) is allow me to give a special Friends and Family discount to all my readers.  If you haven’t discovered the joy of virtualization for your personal computer, running multiple operating systems on your home PC or laptop, now is your chance:

For years I have used VMware Workstation to run demos and test environments on my laptop and desktops (the snapshot capability has literally saved me weeks of work over the years).  Now, since I made the switch to the Mac, I use VMware Fusion to do the same.  With this 50% off coupon, you can enjoy the same benefits immediately.   (Remember, this discount ends on 1/15/2009!)

3-2-1 Launchpad

Leave a Comment

Today I introduced the VMW Launchpad.  A collection of information resources from or related to VMware.  Since starting at VMware as a Solutions Consultant, I have been collecting items that are frequently requested from my customers and others regarding VMware and our products.  I’ll be updating the Lauchpad as a reference source for those common items.  I will also be posting some personal write ups based upon my experiences.

And of course all these items, along with the rest of this blog, reflects my views and not the views of any company, employer, or group associated with me.

(Disclaimer: I am currently employeed at VMware as a Solutions Consultant)

Blog Updates

It’s amazing how much time one can spend trying to get their blog to look just right.  Tonight was one of those nights.  I was able to cross a couple of to-dos off my list by migrating this blog to it’s new home as well as upgrading to the latest wordpress.  You should notice a substantial improvement in responsiveness of the site on this new hoster.

I also used this chance to update the theme of the blog.  This is the part that took the most time.  Since the WP 2.6 upgrade, all the themes have to be updated and it’s amazing how few themes are in the official WP theme collection.  So, sticking with my orange color combination, I decided on this one.  I’m not 100% happy with it, but I have to move on to more important items on my not-done-yet list.

Let me know if you like or don’t like the new theme.  I love feedback!  🙂
