It's a good idea to read this before reading the rest of this post.
2nd day's log. It was a good day :)
Cool stuff
I went to a NYC BUG meeting today. What is that? BUG = BSD User Group. Lots of really cool and experienced sysadmins make up that group. Today's meeting was one of the leaders, .ike , talking about the economics and decisions of startups using AWS vs colo - with actual data and real life experiences. Real cool presenter, crowd and location - great discussions were had. I had to leave early so I couldn't stay for the traditional beers, which I normally enjoy!
vBrownBag
Today was the start of Jillvember on vBrownBag US. Look out for that session - check the full schedule here. I wasn't able to attend live because of NYCBUG, but I'll be sure to catch the session.
Blog posts
I made true on a promise to highlight Clinton Prentice's huge VCAP6-NV deploy effort in my network virtualization blog - you can find the post and how to contact Clinton here.
Tomorrow
I'm catching the short LGA-BOS-LGA planes and going to the Boston UserCon. Huuuge attendance, incredible star-studded agenda, and a chance to wear my Patriots gear without getting heckled like normally in NYC. Plus, lots of vBrownBag crew will be there :)
We're also doing going to have Sergio Munoz, @mrserch, do a cool session on some hot tech (AWS? Azure? with Docker?) in the weekly vBrownBagLATAM. If you can deal with spanish, I wouldn't miss that one :)
What about the rest of the stuff you were working on?
Nothing to report :p well, there's only so many hours in a day.

#vDM30in30 11-01-2016 @arielsanchezmor
It's a good idea to read this before reading the rest of this post.
Work
Main thing today was wrangling VMware support to get information on removing weak ciphers, particularly DES-CBC3 (all DES and 3DES ciphers are now regarded as insecure) and disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 from VMware products. Good KB to gather a base understanding of supported ciphers is 1018510
Blog-work
I'm going to setup blogs.arielsanchezmora.com with a Jekyll and Github setup, and basically put all of my blog production through it. I have several blogs - it makes trying to keep up with my blogging work difficult. Also, I will ask Eric to remove the google sites link reference from the vDM30in30 list, and to correctly spell my last name.
Studying
LFCS is getting to crunch time. I have both the official Linux Foundation videos and the Plurasight course. I had taken a Redhat class some time ago, but CentOS 7's commands have changed quite a bit.
Also, as part of the blog work, I'm learning about Github, Atom, and the Markdown syntax. My idea is to be able to write from any linux box I stand up - the laptop I'm writing today is Windows but I know I have to learn Linux, and you only learn by really using it, so pretty soon I'll install Fedora or Ubuntu on this laptop.
To-be-blogged topics
-Live reconfiguration of a local virtual disk on a Dell server running ESXi with the OMSA vib
-Weird issue where vMotions fail with a 13% or 14% because of a storage fabric problem
VCDX work
November is month of reading and working on documenting the "project" that will get designed. It's quite a challenge to write down all the circumstances of a project to the point where another engineer can understand it to the same point as you do.
vBrownBag work
-Have to get the latest LATAM posts out
-Need to work on creating a public google calendar for upcoming topics - something easy for people to add to their own calendars. I have my own setup to where it's easy to maintain now here so it should take too much time.
