Virtualization/Infrastructure Engineer. Techie. Cat Person.
Pinned
Since I plan on making Bluesky my new home, guess I should introduce myself. I’m a VMWare based Engineer, specializing in Automation. I’m a dad, nerd, gymrat and really really into MtG Commander. I really enjoy discussing tech, including infrastructure and virtualization. My favorite book is Dune.
Long week. Production change schedule changed, even when the systems are just collectors with read only. Night time work is rough

Finished some modules today. Wrote some automation for my Citrix team. Main reason was to enable Virtualization based security and nesting on new Citrix boxes. Really head scratching due to the older modules being 5 years old. #powershell #vmware

I’ve been using OpenSSL a lot lately. Throughout using it, I’ve been impressed with its ability to manage certs. #openssl #tech

Went through the loss of my grandmother this week. After 86 years, it’s easy to celebrate such a long life. Our family has always been a bit more understanding of death but it was still a rough week.

Got Aria up and running at work. Moving out of vROPs but it really is mostly the same. The UI is super nice and I like the K8 integration. #vmware #broadcom #k8

I’m getting really really tired of OpenShift lately. #RHEL

Reading Dune Messiah with this goober.

I’ve been on a massive reading kick, so I bought a kindle to attempt to cut down on my paper use. I despise Amazon but going back to its book roots feels somewhat of a lesser evil.

Holidays have been busy. Not so much at work due to downtime and PTO but we get to see our family in Tennessee as well. Not looking forward to a 6 hour drive but I got myself a new kindle to help ><

Long week. Retrofitting old DSC modules all week with a secure credential exchanges to get rid of clear text transfers. Kill me. #Powershell #Automation

My pod still hasn’t found a way to deal with my Helga deck apparently. I’m quite proud of my Froggy

I’ve been playing a lot of arena lately as it’s been hard to get out of the house to catch a pod. I’ve been enjoying it. It makes running +1/+1 cards a lot easier when you don’t feel like mathing. #MTG #Arena

Nothing crazy happened at work today. I was able to get my new laptop ready to roll. New 5490 Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Not a huge fan of the built in copilot key though. #IT #Dell
