Today several folks here at the SolarWinds offices in Austin TX suggested that I write a blog post on the Conficker virus . This morning that seemed like a pretty good idea, but as the day went on and I started reading all of the great blog posts and articles (check out the ones by Network World and ZDNet ) out there that have been written about this already - there really didn't seem to be anything else to say and it's pretty late to do anything to affect April 1st, so I've decided to write about something else entirely. Last week we did a great webcast on network troubleshooting...

You know, I try to avoid going on wild rants within the confines of this blog but sometimes a geek's gotta do what a geek's gotta do... I just read an article on how the government in China is taking another stab at blocking access to YouTube . First off, what are they freak'in thinking? Why in the world would you want to block access to content like this? Secondly, how in the world could you possibly think that you could do it? Sure, you might be able to block access to YouTube if you tried really hard and stayed on it as their content delivery systems keep evolving...

This Thursday, March 26th, at 10:00 a.m. CDT, we're hosting a new webcast on "Network Troubleshooting - the Top 5 Technologies to Leverage". This webcast is going to be a little different than some of the others as we're going to dive a little deeper into how each technology works vs. focusing on applications the leverage the technology. We'll also cover some of the common concerns that people raise with enabling these technologies on your corporate network. During the webcast we'll take an in-depth look at: Trace route SNMP NetFlow (J-Flow, sFlow, etc)...
