A few weeks ago I blogged about a new search kid in town. Well, the F5 town is getting a little bit bigger every day! You have have noticed our subtle blog posts these past few weeks. Lori kicked it off with her "Imagine" posts on Performance, Manageability, and Intelligence. And Jeff hinted at things to come with his post on Disruption. Hopefully these have got you thinking... Just as it was when BIG-IP v9.0 was introduced, The playing field has now changed. Performance issues are a thing of the past! Manageability is simple, intuitive and smart! The...
It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play... Well, maybe a bit more than twenty years, but I love that song anyway. Actually it's almost twice twenty years since 1969 (but who's counting?). Today I posted my 1969th post to the forums and since 1969 was a pretty significant year for me, I thought I would throw in a bit of almanac trivia. So, here it goes... All of the following happened in 1969: The Jets win SuperBowl III. Led Zeppelin releases their first album, "Led Zeppelin". Richard Nixon is...
I've been thinking about this for a while now, and am working on my pitch to F5 management, but I thought I'd float it past you all out in DevCentral land. I've been thinking about how we can move our products beyond the typical enterprise/government/finance/etc customer base and into the hands of "Joe Consumer". That got me to thinking about game systems: In my accounts, most households have at least one device capable of gaming. I'm not a big gamer by any means, but in my household, I do have a good set of gaming platforms that either...
As you may have noticed today, when you fired up the iRule Editor, that a new version is available for download. I snuck in a couple of releases over the last couple of months and have been meaning on writing up some of the new features so looks like this is my chance. The version information, along with features/enhancements put into each release, is always available from within the F5 iRule Editor Help menu item from within the editor but for those of you to lazy to click the couple of links it takes to get to the...
For those who haven't heard of Sun's GlassFish project, instead of trying to describe it myself, I'll reprint the overview from their dev site.
GlassFish is a free, open source application server which implements the newest features in the Java EE 5 platform. The Java EE 5 platform includes the latest versions of technologies such as such as JavaServer Pages(JSP) 2.1, JavaServer Faces(JSF) 1.2, Servlet 2.5, Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, Java API for Web Services(JAX-WS) 2.0, Java Architecture for XML Binding(JAXB) 2.0, Web Services Metadata for the Java Platform 1.0, and many other new technologies.
I personally haven't used GlassFish yet, but...
This was just posted on our forums and I thought I'd pass it along. For those of you "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER" fans out there... For those who aren't "in the know" about LOLCats, check out the wikipedia article on them. If "ur" ever having odd behavior with "ur" iRulz, it may very well be this LOLCat who's messing with "ur" configuration. Hat tip to user wschultz for passing it along. I'll ditto his comments: "So go ahead and fess up, who was it?". I wish I could take credit but it wasn't me... -Joe Technorati Tags: Pruitt, F5,...
Jeff, Colin and I just finished up a set of training sessions to our new sales and SE folks about all the goodness that is DevCentral, iRules, and iControl. We had an hour and a half and the "plan" was 30 minutes DevCentral (Jeff), 30 minutes iRules (Colin) and 30 minutes iControl (me). Lesson learned: Jeff goes last from now on! Jeff rounded up his talk a little over the one hour mark, Colin sped his up to 20 minutes, which left me with 6 minutes to cover the iRule Editor and iControl. Luckily the folks opted to...
A while back Jeff threw out a question on forums asking about where you have "firepassed" from. I'll throw up my latest example. Last Tuesday was very hectic for me, I had meetings and internal training at the office in Seattle in the morning and had to get back to home in Sammamish by 2:40 for a physical therapy session (I've got a pinched nerve in my neck that I've been treating for the last month or so if you are interested). Anyway, at about 1:15 I had an idea about a tech tip for DevCentral, so I...
