Does anyone else remember trying to programmatically read exchange emails back in 2009? What a pain it was. At the time I was on the Fulton County help desk. I would take calls and emails then turn them into tickets. It was painful. So I automated it… I was using Perl at the time. ThereContinue reading “Microsoft Graph and Salesforce”

I’ve got TDS DSL at a location. I was using their modem/router/wifi device for a while but wanted to have a site to site vpn to another location that didn’t require funky routing. So I picked up a pfSense box to use as the router. I hooked it up and everything seemed OK. Got myContinue reading “TDS DSL Bridge Mode”

This is probably a little sales specific but since I spent some time writing some automation figured I’d post it. I was tired of having to go through all of my open opportunities in Salesforce (SFDC). The lightning version that is being pushed out is SOOOO SLOWWWWW. To the point of being almost unusable (forContinue reading “Salesforce Automation”

I’ve been learning a little bit of assembly over the last few days. Why in the world would I want to learn assembly? I don’t know. Why not? The code I’ve been writing has been a very simple boot loader. I followed another tutorial on how to get it to load and write some text.Continue reading “Binary Coded Decimal and Assembly”

After getting ESXi on PI working I started to wonder what is it really useful for. Outside of just playing with it I wasn’t able to come up with anything besides a VPN client. I have to much x86_64 compute to need extra compute at home. So I decided to do something silly. Running aContinue reading “VeloCloud Edge on PI 4”

As everyone has probably seen VMware released ESXi on ARM. They happened to write support for the Raspberry PI into the release. So I’m calling it ESXi On Pi. Sounds way cooler. I was hoping that I would be able to run this on my NVIDIA Jetson Nano but the Jetson doesn’t have a UEFIContinue reading “ESXi On Pi”

There is a part of the vSphere API called Guest Operations. Not many people use it but I’ve found it useful over the years. I first discovered it while building a self provisioning portal back in 2011. At the time I was using VMware Orchestrator for the workflow engine and web views for the webContinue reading “Guest Operations and File Permissions”

My neighbor has been having some issues with their home internet. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard them complain about Comcast for the last year or two. This was kind of odd to me since I have Comcast and haven’t really had any issues (I know shocking…). A few days ago they asked me what kindContinue reading “Home Internet Monitoring”

Over the years people have said things to me that I’ve found interesting, silly, idiotic…. The same experience as everyone else. The things that have stuck with me that help me be a better person are the things that are the most interesting. I was recently speaking with a good friend Marcos Hernandez and heContinue reading “Bits Of Wisdom”

So today I finally built out my lab with vSphere 7 Workload Management (vSphere 7 with Kubernetes). I though everything was going fine until I got an error: Failed to list all distributed switches in vCenter <GUID>Cluster domain-cxxxx is missing compatible NSX-T VDS Well this was a suprise to me. I had a NSX-T distributedContinue reading “vSphere Workload Management and NSX Errors”
