Events I’ve attended
During the recent HP Discover conference in Barcelona, I happened to sit in on a couple of excellent panel sessions. I recorded audio from them, which is usually just for my own note-taking reasons, but occasionally something really good happens and is worth sharing. Architecting the Future of HP IT… Read More
This week I’m headed over to HP Discover in Barcelona, Spain, thanks to the magnanimity of Calvin Zito. I’m looking forward to hearing from HP directly, because I don’t know as much about them as I once did. There’s so much going on in technology at the moment that it’s… Read More
I get to go to another Tech Field Day event! Yay! <glee mode> Stephen, Tom, Claire and the crew have kindly invited me to attend Virtualization Field Day 4 in Austin, TX in January 2015. The invitations only just went out, so the details are still coming through about who… Read More
Here is my traditional disclosure post for the inaugural VeeamON conference. Overall All flights, accommodation, and hotel transfers were paid for by Veeam. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas, which was the conference venue. It’s a very nice hotel, though I’ve not seen any other hotels in… Read More
In just under a week, I will be attending the NetApp Insight 2014 conference, in sunny Las Vegas, NV. I’m once again travelling as a freelance journalist, for iTNews. This marks the second conference in under a month, and my fourth trip to the US this year. I’m really racking… Read More

We covered the reasons for… Read More
Last night I officially joined the Melbourne VMUG Steering Committee. I’d been helping out informally for a little while anyway, so now I just have one less excuse to not turn up to things. :) While I don’t have any official responsibilities, I plan to help the committee with the… Read More
SanDisk were a thoroughly impressive company during SFD5, and on reflection, a bit of an odd attendee at Tech Field Day. Why? Because TFD tends to be about enterprise technology, while most of SanDisk’s sales have traditionally been in consumer flash devices like USB drives and SD cards. SanDisk’s appearance… Read More
I’m attending VeeamON 2014 in Las Vegas, NV this week, as a guest of Veeam. So far I’ve managed to catch up with a bunch of Internet friends I only get to see at these things, which is always good fun. I’ve also got several executive interviews lined up, including… Read More
I’m compiling a bunch of topic specific posts on VMworld 2014. This post is about my general impressions as a first time VMworld attendee. My perception is biased because I attended as press. Press (and analysts) see a very different show to that of other attendees, as do those on… Read More
