I received word today from Steve Beaver, who has provided technical feedback for my work in the past, that his new book VMware ESX Essentials in the Virtual Data Cetner that he as written with David Marshall and Jase McCarty (don't know where "Jason McCarty" comes from) has started shipping from distribution.

If this is anything like our book, we should start to see this filtering into stock at Amazon and other online and brick and mortar outlets within the next 2 weeks. I've always respected the work that each of these three authors has done in the past and look forward to adding another tome to my growing virtualization library.

You can find out more details on the new book at Amazon.

The complete Q&A can be read ad the excerpt can be downloaded from the article at InfoQ.com .

It's no secret that I get to travel to Europe a lot for my job, and truth be told, I quite enjoy it.  One country that has continuously eluded me has been Germany.  In fact, the only reason I have ever been there is to connect through either Frankfurt (an airport I absolutely despise) or Munich to get to Italy.  Well, not only will I finally get my chance this summer, but I will also get a second chance in the fall.  Combine that with another trip to London in October and I'm all of a sudden moving up to Platinum status on American Airlines in 3 quick trips.

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I woke up, grabbed my cup of coffee (as is necessary in order for me to function in the morning) and checked Amazon.com like I do every morning by searching for my name (no vanity whatsoever). I was quite pleasantly surprised when I noticed that Amazon finally had the new VI3 Book listed as In-Stock. In fact, I didn't trust my eyes just yet and made Leah come down and verify for me as well. Low and behold, I wasn't crazy or still blind from a horrible night of sleep.

Another year, another VMware "Call for Papers" for a VMworld event.  Year after year I due my diligence and fill out the paperwork with new and exciting ideas that would provide significant value to anyone willing to sign up and attend my sessions.  Year after year I am turned down.  For me, I have several reasons why I'm sure I get denied.  I work for an independent software vendor, I talk about things with a different perspective than VMware would like to push as their corporate message, etc.  But this rant isn't about me...
