Who Down With OCP?!?
YEAH YOU KNOW ME! I went to six conferences in forty eight days and that’s just a bit overwhelming. I had this abstract idea that it was over the course of the around eight weeks or so but then I looked at the actual dates and pulled it up on a calendar calculator and now…

What We’ve Learned So Far
As I’ve been rebuilding this site. In case you hadn’t noticed. I have. Cause of the hack. And this is what I’ve learned so far… Backups Aren’t Necessary UNTIL THEY ARE If I had been maintaining regular backups (which the hosting company is totally happy to do for just a few euros more per month),…

Your LEGO Order Has Been Shipped
In preparation for the Red Hat Summit this week and OpenStack Summit in a week, I put together a hardware demo to sit in the RDO booth. I know, I know – the title has LEGO in it and now I’m talking tech. Bait and switch, AMIRITE?!? I promise it’s relevant. So I put together…
