Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know

Well, it appears from comments on recent blog entries that I’m all of the above!  The post(s) in question are as follows;

• http://www.thestoragearchitect.com/2010/08/02/netapp-the-inflexibility-of-flexvols/
• http://storagebod.typepad.com/storagebods_blog/2010/08/and-bod-makes-three.html
• http://www.grumpystorage.com/2010/08/notapp-random-thoughts.html
• http://blog.nigelpoulton.com/netapp-some-good-and-some-errrrr/

I thank those who have made positive comments on my behalf, it is most appreciated.  I find it even more amusing that my style of writing has been described as tabloid.  Perhaps I need a few more appropriate blog titles.  How about the following: Netapp ate my Hamster or Gotcha! (when EMC outbid Netapp for Data Domain).

The things I write about are coloured by the work I do – which is for and on behalf of customers.  It’s my job to cut through the marketing hype and understand the real issues in deploying and managing technology in the most efficient and cost effective way.  No vendors are without faults and I can point to many posts that place each vendor in a negative light.  However in my defence where I see something I like, I also talk about it.  If you don’t like what I write, I urge you to unsubscribe now.  If you do like what I write about, I’d appreciate your views on what else you’d like to see me discuss.  If you have something to say, then leave a comment that can be treated as courteous.  I always post comments – apart from the SPAM ones.  I’m happy to discuss things in a reasoned manner and to admit when I’m wrong.  You never know, if we continue in that manner we all may just enjoy the blogosphere more.
