    • Back in April 2015, I had no idea whether my CFP (Call For Papers) submissions would be accepted, or if I'd find a way to get to VMworld to deliver the presentation(s). I applied for a blogger pass on faith, hoping that somehow the stars would align in time. I know, I know, you're not supposed to do that.

    Flash forward to the wee hours of the morning today, when out of the blue an email appeared in my inbox with a rather promising subject line, from the guy who runs the vExpert program at VMware (and so much more), Mr. Corey Romero:

    Subject: VMworld San Francisco Blogger Pass - YOU'RE GOING!

    Your-Going-To-VMword-2015

    Yes! TinkerTry will be there, in the flesh, awesome!

    I sure hope to finally meet with many of you, my favorite part of attending conferences. Getting out and hearing others' real-world virtualization stories is always a hoot, followed by that prehistoric tradition of shaking hands and exchanging old-fashioned business cards. Well, with modern twist. Of course, TinkerTry uses green, recycled MOO cards, and the literally green TinkerTry IT @ home shirt.

    If you're interested in meeting me while at VMworld 2015, follow me on Twitter @paulbraren, then sending a DM so we can coordinate privately.

    I've been to VMworld in 2007, 2008, 2012, and now in 2015, my first time attending as a blogger. I always enjoy new experiences, and sharing them.

    Here's another excerpt from Corey's email:

    We also provide blogger tables at the community booth in the hang space. The blogger tables will have high speed drops...

    Hmm, the possibilities...don't be shy, meet up with me and say hi!

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. The Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh slightly better in 2024, and hopefully Xeon 6 (Granite Rapids-D) much better in 2025 featuring PCIe Gen5, MCRDIMMs, and 100GbE networking, wow! I'm bummed that Pat Gelsinger was apparently ousted from Intel's helm in these challenging times, but I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when he was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
