VMworld 2011 Las Vegas was my first ever VMworld, and hopefully it will be one of many! Before I left, I got some advice from a co-worker who was an alumni as well as reading various articles including David Marshall’s 10 tips for VMworld 2011 newbies.

Now that I’m been there and back and with VMworld Copenhagen just around the corner, I figured it would be a good time to recap David’s rules as I thought they were a pretty good blue print for first timers.

I’ve talked about FlipBoard before. But I’d like to point out that its been reported that FlipBoard has been downloaded 3.5 million times. For those keeping track, I think they have left 3.5 – 10.5 million dollars on the table.

What could your company do with an extra 3.5 million in the bank?

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. – Think Different!

RIP Steve.

I’m not completely sold on how useful this will be. But I’m looking forward to the big boss getting hers so I can play with the Siri app. This looks pretty damn awesome. If it does a HAL voice, I may have to upgrade early 😉

Check out more information about Siri on Apple’s website.

We’ve recently been setting up vCloud 1.5 in the office and so far we like what we’ve been seeing. During the install, we did run into a bit of an issue when we set the API urls. On our first attempt we didn’t set them and had issues uploading media. You’d think that the two would be unrelated. You’d first think that you had a permissions issue on the file system somewhere right? Wrong-o-bucko! What you need to do is set the API url in Administration > Public Addresses. Uploading media apparently uses it.
