Summer vacations, travel and distractingly favorable weather may interrupt the normal work weeks for some, but they can't stop the content. DevCentral has been alive and well through these sunny days thanks to the blogs, docs and media cruising through from various contributors. With many irons in the fire, plans on the drawing board and other assorted clichés at work helping to drive the "Next Big Thing" for the DevCentral team, you can only expect to see things scale upward and onward in terms of content pacing. I'll try to help you keep up. To that end, here's this week's...
It’s been a great week at Interop in Las Vegas. I’m sitting here at the airport, sipping a frosty beverage and recalling the events from the past few days, and I have to say it’s been worth the last-minute trip. Each day I gave an iRules talk at the F5 booth. I got to do my song and dance in front of a crowd of people and try to express why iRules are so amazing to them, and why they should be using them. That’s pretty much a description of every day for me, it seems. The twist...
A couple weeks ago I started sending out tips for iRules users via twitter. I created a hashtag: #iRulesTips and I've been passing out tidbits of iRules advice / info on a pretty regular basis. The goal is to post something daily (or a couple times a day) but with the way things are going around here (see: super busy), I'm happy with "almost daily". Jason even saw fit to chime in with his own contribution, which is awesome. I'm hoping more people will add their own tips, tricks and advice as they see fit.
Here's a roundup of the...
As I dig through forums, docs, emails, my own source, etc., there are often times little nuances that I pick up in whatever iRule I'm currently dissecting. Sometimes these are ideas that are short and succinct, and don't quite warrant a full Tech Tip or joining the esteemed 20Lines or Less. It's unfortunate to do nothing with them, though, as there are so many helpful tidbits that get dropped on the cutting room floor, if you will, in search of something a little meatier to talk about at length.
I've decided to stop wasting those little nuggets of...
Google, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, Nokia, Comcast - all in one room. Either the complete domination of the Internet is being plotted, or these giants are getting together to talk about Social Media. Last Thursday, January 8th, representatives from these companies and several others got together to discuss Activity Streams and what the future holds for them. What is an Activity Stream you ask? It's your status update, your facebook profile update, your twitter message, etc. It's how you communicate your recent activities to your online crew, if you will. So why are these giants meeting to talk about your Activity...
Welcome to the first DCTop5 of 2009! It's a new year and that means you survived the holidays, the in-laws, the traffic jams, the elections, and if you live in Seattle, record breaking snow-storms. Congratulations, it's time to do it all over. There's been so much great stuff going on in DevCentral Land in the past 12 months that it's been hard for even me to keep up at times. So when I tell you that there's even more to come, and that we're turning up the dial further still this year, believe me when I say that it's going...
Google, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, iTunes - They've all been changing the way that the average person goes about their day for a long time now. The thing that sets these monolithic figures in technological history apart from others is that they are not only changing the game for those of us that have long been denizens of the web. Indeed they are making the web and the delicious, bountiful fruits therein accessible to the masses. This is what is allowing them to change the face of the world as we know it. A prime and quite pointed example of...
After a couple of long weeks out for recovery (yay hernia repair!), it feels good to be back at it again here in DCLand. It's crazy, though, how things stack up. I was just chatting with the guys on the podcast yesterday about how much there is to catch up on. It's not just email anymore. What's that, girl? The RSS feeds filled up the well? My god! 1300+ emails, 50+ voicemails, a slough of RSS feeds, tweets, Myspace messages and IMs to respond to...uh, yeah, I'll be done around New Years. Emails and Feeds and IMs,...
Twitter is one of those services on the web that you'll find galvanizes people into two real groups. The lovers and the haters. Some people love twitter for how easy to use it is, how up to date with their friends they can stay, the breadth of reach they can so easily find, and more. Others hate it, considering it too much noise in the signal to noise ratio, inane, or even self-centered. I, personally, fall squarely in the middle of these groups. I do personally use twitter, but only for updating what I'm doing while...
