After promising that we would start the delivery of free PDF's by the end of January, I've finally received the source files and have immediately posted the first 4 free chapters on this site. We quickly realized that the size of the book was quite cumbersome for those that wanted to carry it around. We've listened to you guys and will be providing the whole book for free over the coming months. Once we have provided all chapters as individual downloads, I'll put up a few PDF files that contain Book 1, Book 2, and one that is the whole darn thing.   |

I was just notified yesterday that people who were subscribed to my RSS feeds more prior to December of this year are no longer receiving updates. Apparently when I updated the blog engine powering the site, the URL changed. If you had previously subscribed to the site via RSS and want to make sure you are notified of updates, please use the RSS Feed link on the home page, or simply use this URL. |

Ron, Mike, and I have decided that starting in 2009, we will be giving out 2 free chapters of the VMware Infrastructure 3: Advanced Technical Design Guide every 2 weeks. I am still in the process of collecting the source DOC and PDF files from the Publisher, but as of right now we are anticipating the first two chapters to be availabe during the first week of January. I've tried to come up with a list of reasons as to why we would do something as crazy as give the book out for free, and this is all I came up with. - We got sick of carrying the damn book around ourselves (Not to mention the number of people begging for a PDF version).
- Our wives caught onto the whole "The more we sell, the more we make, and the more they feel we should buy them" thing, so we decided to try and outsmart them.
- We want people to keep coming back to VMGuru.com to see how long it actually takes me to update it. (Well, Mike can keep driving traffic to his site.)
- With VMworld Europe 2009 around the corner, I need to remind people I am still alive. That will allow me to attract attention while pulling booth duty at the show so my company says "Wow, we should keep sending Scott to Europe, he's famous here"
Anyways, keep your eyes open for the chapters to start appearing! Once we have all free chapters released, we'll bundle the whole tihng up in one nice PDF package so people can actually travel with all the info they will ever need on VI3.

I've finally decided that it's time to crawl out from under my rock and get some updates going on the site. What better way to do that than to announce the new PowerGUI PowerPack for VMware update that we've (Quest Software) released over at PowerGIU.org. For a more detailed write-up you can visit Kirk's blog, who is hopefully getting in a well-earned holiday after blasting out this amazing update. Not only was I able to do my part in helping release the updated PowerPack, but I've finally jumped on the bandwagon with Twitter for those that care enough to follow me.
As I get more deeply involved in PowerShell, expect some cool updates and unofficial PowerGUI Links and Actions to make their way to this site as Quest continues to extend its Windows, Applications, and Database dominance deeper into the virtualization market with the assistance of our wholly-owned subsidiaries Vizioncore and Provision Networks. |

We have been in communication with the VMworld Store and have a 30 minute time slot in which Ron, Mike and I will be signing copies of the book in Las Vegas. Our time slot is on Wednesday the 17th of September from 1:00 - 1:30PM. There will be copies available for purchase at the VMworld Store so you don't necessarily need to lug the 800+ page monster with you to Las Vegas, but there is no guarentee that there will be enough for everyone. For this, Ron and I have been kicking around the idea of a "Beer for a Signature" type system in which we have a cooler/bucket/inflatable swimming pool, full of ice that we can simply place (and have easy access to) beer that can be shared with everyone. We're still trying to figure out the logistics, but in any case, there will be a good time for all! |
