A few weeks ago I wrote blog post about some cool technologies including NetFlow and Cisco's IP SLA and provided some information on what IP SLA can be used for and how it works. Since then I've become even more convinced that IP SLA is a must-use technology. I guess you could say I've gone from being just a fan to being somewhat of a fanatic. Sort of like the way I feel about Mountain Dew, spinnerbaits, and bird dogs - I just plain love 'em. Over the last few weeks I've really been able to get my hands dirty with this technology. I hosted a webcast -Deep Dive...

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.

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 week I went to the Alamo Drafthouse theatre here in Austin and saw the new film " I Love You, Man " with Jason Segel and Paul Rudd. It was quite an experience. First, they served some great food and wine (I'm not much of a beer drinker), then I got to watch the new Star Trek trailer, and then, once the tears has dried from my eyes (yes, I get that emotinal about a good sci-fi film) I laughed 'till it hurt. It was a really, really good time. Afterwards though, I started thinking about some of the more serious messages in the film and the value of having a support...

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...
