Read More About A short photocast of Citrix Synergy 2013 » Last year, I decided it was time to start working on virtualization at the desktop. The reasons were numerous and plentiful, and beyond the scope of this writing. Needless to say, it is a good decision. I decided on the Netscaler 8200 for it’s ability to scale, and for the Citrix Access Gateway features. Man, this device is quite powerful. Enough so, for me to question why I’m...
Read More About Citrix Netscaler, Synergy, and LPS Integration » Recently, I was asked what the best way is to label your cable plant within an office/building/campus environment. Of course, my answer was, "it depends". Scenarios The first thing I think about is "scalabililty". When you come up with your own "scheme" to label your cables, it needs to expand well. It also needs to handle changes easily, and with the least amount...
Read More About How I label network cabling » 2 months ago, I started a project to move forward with Virtual Desktops at my company. Obviously, one of the components of that is the thin clients. Who to use? Why? The industry seems to be swarming with them. Wyse, HP, NComputing, IGEL, 10zig, etc. So, it becomes a tough call. A discussion started about someone being at Citrix Synergy 2012 and saw...
Read More About The use-case for PoE thin clients » This past week, my department had a global meeting, where many department managers and function leaders get together to talk, brainstorm, and learn new things within the company. We should have this every year, but our last one as a few years ago. The meetings themselves were fantastic and there were some great ideas and interest from the event. But, when you are trying to do...
Read More About Global Department Meetings » I just upgraded my Mac to Mountain Lion. So far, I like it. Especially the integration of Twitter into the OS, and the enhancements to iChat (now called Messages). However, there was one thing that bothered me, when I tried to open Parallels. First off, my Parallels dock icon showed it cannot be opened: You may also get the error message "You can't use this...
Read More About Can't open Parallels after Mountain Lion update » Sometimes, it's nice to bring a little humor and wit to your end-users. For the most part, end-users hate talking to anyone in IT. This is because most IT Departments feel understaffed and overworked. Plus, many users feel that the IT policies are only meant to make things difficult for them, as they do not fully understand why... "What? I have to change my...
Read More About Drop Some Tactful Levity to your End-Users » Caffeine is known for it's bio-fuel and energetic properties for all tech-heads. Apart from alcohol, It's what keeps us running to keep answering those questions, to keep pushing our boundries, and to literally push the limits of our bodies. Energy drinks are plentiful, and are the choice of many, but usually not as inexpensive as those percolated coffee beans, and to be honest,...
Read More About Caffeine - The techie fuel » GoDaddy has truly caused their own problems with their support of the SOPA bill. After declaring support, they lost approx 40,000 domains and the number could be as high as 70,000 domains according to Time.com Personally, I received a call on Tuesday from GoDaddy customer service. The first time in 3 years, asking me if I'm happy with the service. I asked him if...
Read More About GoDaddy Jump Ship » So, I'm in my 3rd month of studying for CCIE written. To be honest, my studies have been less than regular. Work, Family, life in general, makes it hard to find the time. It *is* getting easier though, as I get more into "study mode". For me, the hardest thing about studying for a certification, is learning the "less than ideal" topics. I...
Read More About Hard to Study what you don't like » 3 hours left for the Expo floor to be open, and another Interop is coming to a close. While the New York show is much smaller than the show in Las Vegas, the amount of information was certainly not compromised. While it is hard to turn down vendor swag, you just can't help getting every bottle hugger, bouncy ball, or T-shirt to bring home to your kids. I, myself, was...

Read More About Disqus Comments too wide for page » Looks like I'm going to another Interop this year. This time, I'll be going to the one in New York City at the Javitz center . Again, being sponsored by HP. GREAT group of people, and can't wait to talk to the ESSN team again! Since I've already been to one Interop, I feel a bit better about the schedule and how things will go. Because of that, I...
Read More About Interop NY 2011 Invitation » Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm actually creating a new site called MyTeneo!!! For the primary reason that I've noticed since I kicked off this site back in 2007, more people are using the Teneo name. Now, obviously, I have no trademark for a Latin word, but it was a bit disconcerning that other IT professionals are using my catch phrase for their...
Read More About New Blog Site soon » This past week has been life-changing for me. Well, at least in the way I think, anyway. Nothing has really changed.... yet. Something happened at work on Friday, that made me start thinking about myself. Over the last 10-12 years, I have been putting all of my effort, time, and resources into my job. That's a good thing, actually, as it has given me diversity...
