VMware AE at lunch, to waitress: “do you have a hypervisen?”
🤔 “hefferveisen?”
I should point out that I find the smell of Cheerios disgusting.
Kid in the dugout was swinging his bat around. I walked over, grabbed it midswing and put it on the ground. Said nothing, then walked away.
My son: “That’s his way of telling you to stop” The kid picks it back up Son: “If you do it again he’ll lose it on you.” Sets bat down

I’m happy and humbled to see how popular my “Kernel Panic” story has become. I tried to reply directly to anyone who commented, especially those who reached out via DM, or even VMW internal Slack, email or LinkedIn. If you shared your struggle with me, I see you, and I thank you.
I love the fact that every interaction around this has been positive, from people I have known for years, and from people I’ve never met. If you’d told me 2 years ago, in the darkest moment of my failed state that even 5 people would have cared, I barely would have believed you.
But, if you’d told me thousands of people would read my story in a weekend, and hundreds of them would reach out directly, I would have deemed that impossible. I want to keep having this conversation, to be a signal for those who were me, two years ago. Keep it up. Thank you! 🙏
Kernel Panic
Friday, April 19, 2019
I’ve been thinking for over two years about how to talk about this, how to talk about the day I couldn’t process anymore. The day where my bullshit buffers overflowed. The day of my internal kernel panic. When starved for resources, my brain finally threw up a PSOD, and quit. vmstan 1.0 build 11091983 PCPU 0 locked up. Failed to ack. frame=4C lbs=E1 age=21 VMK uptime: 9:15:33:45.014 No coredump target configured If there were some predictive analytics running on me back then, it would have been evident that this was coming for a long time.
Why does updating Xcode from the Mac App Store consume all available CPU resources on your system?
😱 the season finale of Star Trek Discovery 🤯 and the alternative theme music at the end 😭 soooooo gooooood 🖖
That thing where you’re at a dinner with a couple dozen people and in addition to the handful of conversations going on at the table there is another conversation going on Twitter…
I’m seeing all these videos and promotions for #PowerbeatsPro but it doesn’t look like you can buy them yet. Am I missing something?
I like the Virginia coach’s style. #NoTie #NationalChampionship

I need DRS-like functionality for my kid’s soccer team. 8 kids, only 4 can play at a time. 1 is on season long maintenance mode. At least 1 might be unavailable at any time. 2 are twins and must sub each other. 2 smallest are too chatty on field. Must balance workloads and time.
Thanks to everyone who reached out. 4yo is basically back to normal today, trying to wrestle his big brother at 6:40 AM this morning. I anticipate more ER visits between the two of them, before long.

It was only a matter of time after Apple announces they’re releasing a metal credit card that people start clamoring for cases. Perhaps something leather that fits in your back pocket? 🤔 9to5mac.com/2019/03/26/app…

Ugggggh. I forgot how slow spinning rust drives are. 😩
I’m team #JIF. How do you pronounce it?
For those not using the official Twitter apps the new image capture and tweet overlay options are kind of neat. Seem to appear just like a normal tweet for third parties.
I would say VMware had hybrid-cloud religion way before 2017, but this is an otherwise interesting take. diginomica.com/a-funny-thing-…
