Let’s look back. This editorial was originally published on Aug 16, 2011, when SSDs weren’t as common as they are now. Can you even buy hard drives? What do you think about the world 15 years later?
I’m at the Fringe Festival with my wife today, so you get to re-read Going Big with SSDs.
It’s a great title, and it’s one many people have worried about in their careers. I know I have, and I decided to re-run IT Staffer Fired today. Leave me your thoughts as you re-read this in today’s world.
It’s a vacation day for me. It’s actually my June-teenth holiday day. I had to work that day and do some recordings, so I flexed it to Jul 20. I was at Day of Data Baton Rouge over the weekend, and my wife came with me. We decided to take a few days in New Orleans and get away from the Colorado heat. It’s still hot in NO, but we can relax, hang out by a pool or in the AC.
Enjoy Monday and see you tomorrow.
I’m still on vacation in Napa Valley, at least for a few more hours. It’s a chance to get away for me, so you get to re-read Bad IT People.
Hope you had a great weekend.
I’m on my way back from Frankfurt and PASS Europe. It’s been a long week, a quick Tue-Fri trip to the EU and my brain is a bit fried. Lots of chats and conversations, and more than a few time zones.
You re-read The Degradation of the Turing Test while I try to sleep on a plane.
