Latest blog post. Being doing quite a bit of work with Ansible, Ansible Automation Platform, Windows Server, and SQL Server installs for test builds. Fun times! snoopj.blog/2026/04/02/m...

Been a while! That being said, I rewarded myself for a batch of good work at the Day Job. Fantastic new Apple AirPods Max 2. Great noise cancellation to concentrate in the office during those coding sessions.

On with HPE! #CFD24

Fortinet is up next! #CFD24

We have Oxide coming up next! #CFD24

Pure Storage is up first, talking about their ability to manage data at scale. #CFD24

Have a good morning, folks! #CFD24

Currently hanging in the lobby of the hotel. #CFD24

On my way to San Francisco for #CFD24. Looking forward to this.

Decided to get my COVID booster and seasonal flu shot earlier this evening. If I feel like crud tomorrow, I'll know the reason.

Got my video rig ready for #CFD24. Looking forward to making video content instead of written content for the event.

I do love me some postseason baseball. ⚾

October 22-23, I will be out in the Bay Area for Cloud Field Day 24. Getting excited to be with peers again and to be able to discuss all things Cloud-related. I'll do my best to keep up live with it here on Bluesky. techfieldday.com/event/cfd24/ #CFD24

First time in many moons that I'm going to need to use a Windows device for 100% of work for a customer. I'm not counting my occasional W365 VDI device either.

I so want to splurge on a new telescope and start planning trips to rural areas for deep sky viewing. Too bad my wallet won't let me. :(

Brisket in the smoker (has been since 8am) and just now hitting that infamous stall point. Considering a wrap in butcher paper to help it move along.

Been testing some new A/V gear for when I head to Dublin at the end of August. Things are working pretty well with the iPhone 16 Pro Max I just picked up. Some power issues crop up with the USB-C hub once in a while, but things are running much smoother now.

Upgraded the phone to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. Looking forward to testing out some video content creation with it.

Nintendo Switch 2 acquired!

There's something depressing about watching the @royals.com offense these days. A big time bummer. Much disappoint.

T-minus 60 days and counting for Dublin!

Flights book for Dublin in late August. Good times!

I'm starting to enjoy that the Stanley Cup Finals are getting a little chippy. Maybe light a fire in Edmonton and make this series epic.

Technical gremlins strike outside of live demos too!

#CFD23 kicks off with Commvault!

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Went full Kansas City tonight with 4 baby back racks and some recipes for sides from some of KC’s finest BBQ joints.

Never forget.

It's nice to be home, but I miss the cooler weather in Ireland. It was perfect for a hoodie aficianado like myself.

I just liquidated my K8s environment on my Proxmox hosts. I've been using containers on Proxmox instead (LXC). Felt like something I needed to do.

And before I knew it, I was back in the States. It was a fun trip. Sounds like a chance I go back again in late August.

When in Ireland….

Packing up for my trip to Dublin later today!

Happy MLB Opening Day 2025, for those that celebrate! ⚾️

Meaningful baseball gets played tomorrow (yeah, I know the Tokyo Series started it all). #OpeningDay

Let's get weird, March Madness. Need to see more bracket busters!

Don't about some of you, but I'm seriously tired of High Wind Warnings in my neck of the woods. It feels like every time we get a warming trend, there's a High Wind Warning with it.

Getting excited. I have a trip to Dublin, Ireland coming up at the beginning of April!

Step One: Abstracts ✅

So a colleague of mine and I setup a Cloudflare WARP site-to-site configuration with WARP Connectors and got it working with a #Proxmox Backup Server for the both of us to use at a remote location. I consider that to be pretty cool use of all the tech stack available to us at the moment.

There's something about the simplicity of a peanut butter sandwich. Needs crunchy PB though.

I'm so happy there's BASEBALL notifications happening on my phone.

Been spending the afternoon trying to get Proxmox Backup Server setup for my environment. Always be learning! #proxmox

Made it home without incident. Always a fun time with a Tech Field Day event. Until the next one... #CFD22

Roundtable Discussions @ #CFD22 now.

Final #CFD22 sponsor presentation with HYCU.

#CFD22 Day 2 starts with Fortinet.

Catchpoint is up now. #CFD22

Selector AI is up next. Starting now! #CFD22

DDI. DNS/DHCP/IPAM. That’s what Infoblox does. Noted. #CFD22
