I was going to write up a big post about how awesome it was to be pilloried by all the attendees of Cisco Live – to the tune of 1,000 people coming by our booth to learn more about Splunk. But then I thought, why not just show it in action? Worth a thousand words – one [...] -
admin wrote a new blog post: Splunking the World with User Groups 2 months, 1 week ago · View
One of the great joys of my job is meeting with users and customers in an informal setting. As we organize the thousands of Splunk users around the world, I’ve started to make the rounds at some informal meetups and gatherings. First it was Chicago in March, and now it’s Los Angeles on May 20. And [...]

My fellow blogger and roustabout Savio Rodrigues has posted something interesting over at the Open Sources blog :
One of open source’s promises is to minimize vendor lock-in. However, it’s not so apparent that this value proposition holds when using software as a service (SaaS) or cloud-based platform services.
This is a great point and one we discussed at great length at [...]

admin wrote a new blog post: What is ‘Open Cloud’? 3 months, 2 weeks ago · View
I’ve read a bit of angst about cloud lock-in, a lot of weed pulling in the form of interoperability standards for the cloud, and a manifesto or two about ‘Open Cloud’. And in between, I’ve seen lots of interesting new tools for cloud computing, and lots of narratives about how the tools, combined with the formalization [...]

Bruce Schneier has built a successful career as a computer security guru – one who gets it right most of the time and has a wonderful ability to translate security concerns to the layman. But sometimes an author’s great reputation makes him less likely to criticize his own work, and the editorial staff of whatever media [...] -

Many of you no doubt already know about VMware’s snagging of Zimbra away from the clutches of Yahoo! If I’m a Zimbra employee or executive, I might be breathing a sigh or relief, or I might be disappointed. But one thing’s for sure – I’m definitely wondering what’s next. Stand back, for I, John Mark Walker, [...] -

If you’ve ever wondered how IT departments come across and adopt open source software, consider Lance Rae. Lance is an IT Director for a mid-sized law firm in New York City. We were chatting about his firm’s use of open source, and we decided it was worth recording our Q & A for posterity – and [...] -
admin wrote a new blog post: Linux and Your iPhone / iPod Touch 6 months, 3 weeks ago · View
Not content with the roadblocks Apple had erected for users who wanted to connect to their digital devices (that they had paid for, natch), Apple decided to up the ante with its iPod Touch and iPhone series. This meant that a whole new round of reverse engineering was necessary just so that, and this bears repeating [...] -
admin wrote a new blog post: Monty Responds 7 months, 1 week ago · View
Michael “Monty” Widenius wrote a nicely-worded response to my previous post “Oracle, Mysql and the GPL: don’t take Monty’s word for it”, and I thought it deserves more visibility, so I’m quoting it below. For the record, I’m not an Oracle “fan” and am in agreement with Steven O’Grady, who wrote that Monty mostly just wants to [...]

In the continuing soap opera of Oracle’s battle against the European Commission for the right to acquire Sun, and with it, MySQL, we have had to rely on the bloggers and analysts to get it right, because the media surely has not. Before you read any further, stop right now and read Matthew Aslett’s excellent summary of [...] -

Following up on my last article about using your iPod with Ubuntu, I decided to take a crack at what open source tools are available for those iPod owners who use Windows. As it turns out, there isn’t much. While a download of Amarok for Windows is available, good luck getting it to recognize or sync [...]
