I was greeted with this little gem tonight and couldn’t resist the urge to fire up Paint and make my mark… it reminded me of an article that was posted on the New York Times recently titled, Digital Devices Deprive Brain of Needed Downtime. As of late I would say that I agree with the

I shouldn’t really call it an upgrade per se but I managed to find some time yesterday (vacation day) to rebuild my home desktop personal computer with Windows 7 (64bit) replacing my Windows Vista (64bit) installation. I backed up all my files to an old server I had setup running Openfiler, it’s amazing how much

I had a little nostalgia on Saturday when Google placed a copy of the game Pac-Man on their homepage. I grew up playing Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man so it brought back a whole lot of memories. I have very fond memories of the Atari 2600, it was an amazing piece of technology for it’s time. I can probably

I’m truly amazed at how fast the time flies. I’ve been blogging for 2 1/2 years now and it’s been a very exciting adventure. It all started back in October 2007 when I created an account on Blogger. In July 2008 I decided to branch out by purchasing my own domain name. At the same

Our own Philadelphia Flyers will be playing in this years NHL Winter Classic being held at Fenway Park in Boston, MA on January 1, 2010. I enjoy playing the game myself and watching the NHL, AHL and college games. I’m only hoping that the Flyers, a team named by some as a contender for this
I thought I would take a quick second to let everyone know that there are two RRS feeds for this blog. The first feed is for the articles that get posted while the second is for the comments made by readers like yourself and me. There are a lot of really helpful tips and information that can be found in the comments from some very insightful readers.

Hi Mr. McNamara,
I’m sure your blog is read by a lot of people (like me) in order to learn/find solutions for their environments, but some comments have a hard technical level or they are responses to concrete answers we aren’t unable to test it in lab (a lot of time, not enough equipment…).
I think that would be a reason for a low number of subscriptions to the comments feed.
And sorry, my name’s Victor (from Spain) and thanks for your very helpful posts.

Hi Victor,
I appreciate your response. It can be difficult trying to be as detailed as possible given the limited time available and the wide ranging technical knowledge of the day to day readers. There are folks in this audience that know what a VLAN is and what it means to tag a VLAN across a trunk, and there are folks that don’t really yet understand the concept of a VLAN or trunk. This can be very challenging for any author. I don’t want to bore the vast majority of folks but I want to make sure that I’ve clearly described the topic at hand some so everyone can at least follow the article/post.
Perhaps I’ll write some basic article on VLANs and tagging across trunks.
I would just care to think that no one knew there was a “Comments” feed out there but I certainly understand your point.
Thanks again for the comment!

Hi Michael,
You are right when you think most people didn’t know the Comments feed, it´s best explanation.
I’m agree about a wide range of readers too, but my comment wasn’t a criticism about your posts, on the contrary, I like them because sometimes I’m forced to understand/learn protocols, configurations…
One note: my English language is enough for technical books (not always) but it’s so limited for conversation, so I’m sorry if someone doesn’t undertand a sentence.
A second note: Actually we´re working with ERS 8310 in small/medium systems (like core), perhaps some posts about them…
Thanks for your response.

I had your RSS feed in my Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar for many months now. I have a tendency to check it every day. However, I was unaware of your comments feed. I will be adding this to my bookmarks today.
I enjoy reading your technical postings and find the complex ones to be very useful. It helps me better understand the products I work work with (8600s, 5520s, 470s, VPN, etc.) on a daily basis.
Please keep up the excellent blog. You have inspired me to start to document my findings with our products. Now I just need to find the time to post them in a blog for the community.
Thanks,
Gabe
