An interesting week for me at my employers EMEA Sales Kick off, and then some wonderful meetings in R&D. We are working on some very cool stuff for the future and it is always nice to work on that sort of thing! I also picked up some good tidbits that will turn into some blog articles soon.
I have keep my Meltdown and Spectre article updated – even updated it again today. Hope it helps. BTW, on the Other menu you can find my Restaurant recommendations from around the world. But that Other tab has a few interesting things and you should check it out if you need good food ideas or interesting adventures.
As always, I have lots to share, but also, I am on a very poor network connection in the lounge at the St-Petersburg airport (LED) and I suspect my airplanes will not have Internet so I am a little curious to see how this goes. This might be another newsletter that starts in the LED airport, gets more done in the Frankfurt (FRA) airport, and is finished at home. We will see.
Have a great week,
In this article, we shared the VMware Tools link for macOS High Sierra running on VMware Workstation virtual machine. Hackintosh won't work for every PC. If we want to try Apple's OS, we can run a Mac OS X Virtual Machine in VMware Player or VirtualBox.

vSAN from the eyes of a Storage Admin
An interesting article about vSAN from a storage admins point of view. I loved the title but the article doesn’t really fit the title – still an interesting article mind you.

In this article it has a good amount of detail on patches for the Dell – EMC product. Not my servers yet mind you but such is the life of a home lab.

If you are lucky enough to own the Dell OpenManager for vCenter your patching can go without outage and pretty smooth.
