Jeff is still waiting for the phone to ring and Colin is getting good at Origami Cranes.
Joe talks about his iControl 101 article on Language Options. Deb thinks iControl is under-utilized and Joe talks about the issues with "teaching" iControl.
Jeff brings up the topic about linkage between a language/toolkit and the users job and he's finally finished waiting for the phone to ring... Colin comments on how DevCentral is bridging those groups together.
Don talks about Statisics with iControl.
Colin is recovering from Jeff's cold and prepping for our upcoming Sales conference and Don somehow caught Colin's virus over email...
Joe gives an update on the CACHE::useragent iRule command.
Joe finishes up with "NO COMMENT" blog spam which causes Jeff into an infinite loop... Jeff brings back "Karnak the Magnificient" and the team gives a shout-out to Nancy.

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...

The gang talks about the release of the Apple iPhone. Anyone got one yet?
As promised last week, Colin has published his iRules TroubleShooting Tips document to the iRules wiki. He also gives some hints on upcoming video and search enhancements.
Deb comments on per-server persistence cookie names and that just because you "can" do something with an iRule, doesn't mean you "should". She also posted some technical tips on the BIG-IP v9 SNMP MIB for LTM Navigation.
Don makes his podcast debut hinting at an upcoming DCTV clip on using iControl from within Eclipse. He hits on his work with the java wrapper classes and discusses his latest blog post on the Bounty that is the iControl API. For good measure, he throws in hints on a customer project of dynamically creating SSL protected websites and how his upcoming labs project.
To round things off, Joe takes the ritual razzing for missing the podcast (and no, he wasn't golfing).
