Sexism, Racism and t-shirts…  Why Stop There?

Sexism, Racism and t-shirts… Why Stop There?

By Adron Hall on January 16, 2014

I attend a lot of technical conferences, hackathons, workshops and all sorts of events where I get loaded up with t-shirts. Ridiculous amounts of t-shirts. Generally I love this! I have had a basic standard about all of these t-shirts. If it is a company and product that I know has done well by its […]

Why Phone Calls Suck and Coders Hate You For Making Them

Why Phone Calls Suck and Coders Hate You For Making Them

By Adron Hall on December 2, 2013

<[Rant On]> During the work day some of the most disruptive events for a coder are phone calls, getting punched in the face or bum fights in the street. Why are these events so disruptive to programmers? Much of the answer lies in the maker versus manager schedule. Let’s talk a little bit about what […]

Is PaaS Tech Still Around? Maybe Containers Will Kill it or Bring it?

Is PaaS Tech Still Around? Maybe Containers Will Kill it or Bring it?

By Adron Hall on November 22, 2013

Recently a post from @Gigabarb popped up on the ole’ Twitter that started a micro-storm of twitter responses. Ok tech users. Who out there is using a PaaS? For realz. Serious question.— Barb Darrow (@gigabarb) November 21, 2013 This got me thinking about a number of things and I started to write her an email […]

Learning About Docker

Learning About Docker

By Adron Hall on November 20, 2013

Over the next dozen or so few days I’ll be ramping up on Docker, where my gaps are and where the project itself is going. I’ve been using it on and off and will have more technical content, but today I wanted to write a short piece about what, where, who and how Docker came […]

AppFog and now Tier 3, CenturyLink is on a Roll!

AppFog and now Tier 3, CenturyLink is on a Roll!

By Adron Hall on November 19, 2013

I feel like I’m being followed by CenturyLink. I shouldn’t be surprised, they should follow me!  😮 But faux paranoia joking aside, it is interesting to see them snapping up two key players in the Cloud Foundry space that have built .NET support into it at an enterprise level. They’re obviously intent on capturing that […]

Linux Containers, LXC, FreeBSD Jails, VServer…

By Adron Hall on November 18, 2013

These days containerization of work, applications and storage on systems has become a hot topic. Not to say it wasn’t before, but it’s got a boost from the cloud computing segment of the industry. With that I felt the need to write up what I’ve discovered of the history in this industry so far. I’d […]

Sorry Database Nerds, Nobody Actually Gives a Shit…

Sorry Database Nerds, Nobody Actually Gives a Shit…

By Adron Hall on November 4, 2013

So I’ve been in more than a few conversations about data structures, various academic conversations and other notions about where and how data should be stored. I’ve been on projects and managed projects that involve teams of people determining how to manage data so that other people can just not manage data. They want to […]

Orchestrate.io, To the Death of Database Infrastructure!

Orchestrate.io, To the Death of Database Infrastructure!

By Adron Hall on October 24, 2013

In this interview I talk to Matt Heitzenroder, Co-founder of Orchestrate.io and previous general manager of Basho Europe, data nerd and love of data types. In this video he talks about the data types, data structures, schema or schema-less options, graph, stores and other ideas behind Orchestrate.io. He also jumps into what exactly Orchestrate’s Mission […]

That Was Fun, Done With The Lenovo Carbon X1, Back to GSD!

PDX Cloud – A Question Posed.

PDX Cloud – A Question Posed.

By Adron Hall on October 13, 2013

I attended the PDX Cloud meeting to present, but more to ask a question. Here’s how I posed that question (slide deck at the bottom of this blog entry). I frame the scenario of the distributed development world of cloud computing, dive into the vertical world of enterprise dev and then throw down the big […]

Riak Development Guidance: The “Client Round Robin Anti-Pattern”

Riak Development Guidance: The “Client Round Robin Anti-Pattern”

By Adron Hall on August 22, 2013

One of the features that is often available in Riak Client software (including the CorrguatedIron .NET Client, the riak-js client and others) is the ability to send requests to the Riak Cluster through a round robin style approach. What this means is each IP, of each node within the Riak Cluster is entered into a […]
