Jeff is out "Not buying us iPhones" on the high seas and Colin is getting some rest.
Don published the Application Ready Network for Oracle Applications site on DevCentral - feature packed with deployment guides, forums, and content - if you can get to it B-). He's wrapping up his blackberry app, writing this weeks tech tip, and getting ready for Oracle OpenWorld next week.
F5 was voted top of 4 categories for Northwest Jobs - Go F5!
The team welcomes Pete Silva to the DevCentral bloggers.
Deb's tech tip this week was on "Evaluating iRule Performance" with a spreadsheet for helping with performance calculations. Joe hints at this being included in the iRule Editor.
Joe says to make sure to listen to the audio version of the "If and Expressions" tech tip. Deb says "Bookmark it, don't memorize it".
Hat tip to DC User hoolio for his massive contributions this week. Be on the lookout for mention of him in an upcoming "F5 World" magazine.

This last week Joe implemented the audio transcripts on Tech Tips, wrote a tech tip on iControl Marketing dissected, a forum post on how to detect DOS attempts. Jeff is recovering from a cold and comment on our plan to increase the flood of tech tips as well as Deb's tech tip on on iRules based on External Information that caused a nice banter between "the dueling Mac Vitties". Colin wrote a tech tip on "Avoiding Path Traversal" and is in the process of encoding some video from his recent trip to the UK. Deb points to some codeshare entries regarding Caching POSTS, Pool picking based on Cipher Strength, and a Super HTTP Monitor, SQL Monitor, and DHCP Monitor, as well as a short timeout HTTP monitor. Aside from being "Mr. Negative" this week, Don wrote a tech tip on using kSOAP2 and has his app running on a Blackberry!
Next, Nigel Burmeister, a Senior Product Manager with Acopia Networks, was kind enough to sit in for the rest of the podcast answering our questions on the newest member of F5's family of products.
Acopia is primarily about File Virtualization (a logical representation of physical resources). They break the bonds between the physical file storage systems (file servers and NAS devices) and the users and applications. It's hard to allow for growth when users increase or more storage is needed. Digital content creation is one of the biggest drivers of growth requirements. According to IDC, by 2010, we will be creating 988 Exabytes (That's 988 Billion Gigabytes) of digital content a year! He then talks about Storage Tiering and how it can be used to save storage and backup costs. Jeff asks what's a "WOW" feature and Nigel points to the architecture and how what they've done can't be replicated in stock software, and Colin attests to that fact....

The team talks about why we missed last weeks podcast.
Don talks about blackberry UI coding and going from 1024x768 to 10x10. Jeff loves his wife's iPhone (but won't get them for us...). Don discusses the $100 license fees for building Blackberry apps. Jeff wonders why google mail trys to tap into his Blackberry phone log. Don brings up recent questions regarding iControl's ConfigSync upload_file and download_file methods. Most questions resolve around chunking (which the Java Wrappers completely hide).
Deb mentions a forum post on solving some fun GTM dilemmas with GTM dependencies and GTM fallback options. She talks about her helping "beta" a new advanced F5 Architecture class that should be available to the masses in the near future. Joe compares GTM's ability to break the laws of physics with the recent announcement by some scientists that they have broken the speed of light. Deb mentions a forum post on BIG-IP persistence cookie encryption. She then gives kudos to DC user kilgore.trout for his updates to the ROUTE wiki docs and user helix90 for his additions of the SCTP docs.
Joe comments on a forum post regarding a iControl Training request. He explains why a Minimum is larger than a Mean, how we've got 64 bits stats working in VB, Management with iControl for an HA Pair, upcoming partition support in the iRule Editor, how to create a hex string from the binary value returned from the iRule md5 command, and his recent attempts at getting the team to start "twittering". Jeff highly recommends TwitterVision.
Colin is out galavanting around Europe. Look for the guy holding the "Will iRule for Food" sign on the street corners and it'll likely be him.

Jeff talks about his trip last week to the F5 partner conference in Chicago. He gives some advice to Everclear about teasing the audience. He alludes to an upcoming "Question of the Week" forum and the eminent rising of F5 User Groups and how we are going to help facilitate those groups. Joe volunteers his house for a Sammamish, WA user group.
Don mentions his blog readership is WAY up after the release of the Java Wrappers for iControl Labs project. He'll likely move on to finalize the Blackberry Java iControl app (to manipulate your BIG-IP from your BlackBerry) in the coming weeks. He said he'd be done by next week - right Don???
Joe points to the latest WebAccelerator product release and why it's so awesome. He found a new iControl watch that everyone should buy just because Timex was smart enough to call it iControl. He mentions a fix to the Custom Reporting with iRules Tech Tip. He also talks about the increase in customer/partner interest in automating GTM with iControl. He then refers to the power outage last week in San Francisco (which he misstated as Los Angeles) and how if those companies had GTM, the crisis could have been avoided. He finishes with his iRule Editor tip of the week on how to use the Editor to profile your iRule.
Jeff gives one last update on the Partner Conference Party and how certain things that happen on the road need to stay on the road...
