OT – I Voted. Now It’s Over To You

Posted on by

Eric Siebert has opened up voting for the Top vBlog 2018. I’m listed on the vLaunchpad and you can vote for me under storage and independent blog categories as well. There are a bunch of great blogs listed on Eric’s vLaunchpad, so if nothing else you may discover someone you haven’t heard of before, and chances are they’ll have something to say that’s worth checking out. If this stuff seems a bit needy, it is. But it’s also nice to have people actually acknowledging what you’re doing. I’m hoping that people find this blog useful, because it really is a labour of love (random vendor t-shirts notwithstanding).

OT – You Vote Now

Eric Siebert has opened up voting for the Top vBlog 2017. I’m listed on the vLaunchpad under the top 100, and you can vote for me under storage and independent blog categories as well. I climbed the heady heights to number 78 last year. So thanks to my mother for voting for me. You can go directly to the voting survey here. There are a bunch of great blogs listed on Eric’s vLaunchpad, so if nothing else you may discover someone you haven’t heard of before, and chances are they’ll have something to say that’s worth hearing. Or reading. Look, you know what I mean. If this stuff seems a bit needy, it is. But it’s also nice to have people actually acknowledging what you’re doing. This all means nothing without your validation.

OT – Top 78

Eric Siebert recently published (okay, fine, it was three weeks ago) the full results of the Top vBlog voting. I was pleased to find I’d made a jump up from last year.

I’ve previously changed my tune on asking for votes in this competition, not because I don’t think it’s a good bit of fun, but I think there’re a bunch of other bloggers you should be voting for. A few people like to huff and puff about it being a popularity contest, but if nothing else I’ve found these types of lists (and Eric’s site in general) to be extremely useful when tracking down links to things on the internet that I know I need but can’t remember how I googled them in the first place. A lot of work goes into the site, so thanks Eric, and please keep it up! Thanks also to anyone who did throw a vote my way, I do actually appreciate it.

OT – Top Virtualisation Blogs – Don’t Vote For Me

Posted on by

Eric Siebert has opened up voting for the 2015 top VMware & virtualization [sic] blogs. I’m listed on the vLaunchpad under storage blogs. Previously, I’ve been keen to get your vote. I even once made it in the top 10 (for storage bloggers). But this time around I think it would be a bit silly to vote for me when there’s all these other great bloggers you can vote for. People like Ray, Nigel and Chin-Fah are really, really, switched on people and you should be giving them some voting love. As are all those virtualisation types. So go and do that. And don’t vote for me. Unless you’re really into CX700 FLARE recovery and QNAP mdadm shenanigans.
