Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been writing about technology things for a while now. In my day job I get paid. On this blog I don’t. But sometimes I do get given things or offered incentives. I try to be transparent about that, so any article you read that\u00a0may have\u00a0been somehow influenced by an external party will include a disclaimer. The point of this page is to collect\u00a0the major ones\u00a0in one location for easy access.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Content<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the articles and content on this site are\u00a0written because I’m interested in things.\u00a0I don’t ask for nor do I expect to receive any gifts from vendors just because I wrote an article\u00a0about them. I do write sponsored posts every now and then. These have a disclaimer. The sponsor suggests a topic but has no editorial control over the content.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conferences, Expenses and Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes I get to attend conferences or vendor events outside of my day job. If anyone has kicked in for travel, accommodation, expenses, etc. I’ll make an individual disclosure post. These are listed here for your convenience.<\/p>\n

Sponsors and Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will quite happily accept money from people to contribute to the cost of running the site. They sometimes get a banner on the side.\u00a0There’s a PayPal button and everything. StorONE<\/a>, Vembu Technologies<\/a>, and Tintri<\/a> have contributed to the costs of running the site at various times. I’ve also written sponsored articles for Tintri and Druva<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Influencer Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a member of a number of different social and “influencer” programs. This means that I sometimes get early access to information, or free licenses or evaluation software. Sometimes I even get the odd shirt. These are listed here for your convenience.<\/p>\n
