This month four years ago I created my own blog. Yes indeed, Yellow-Bricks.com had its 4th birthday this month. I want to thank all of you for contributing to the success of Yellow-Bricks by commenting / emailing / tweeting etc. As a token of my appreciation I want to give away 4 copies (paper version) of the vSphere 5 Clustering Technical Deepdive.
What do you need to do? Not much! Just leave a comment with a valid email address! On the 30th of this month I will announce the 4 winners who will be randomly picked, they will get a signed copy of the book!
Last but not least, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and everyone of you! Enjoy the holiday… I know I will.
Thanks, man. Your amazing generosity is exceeded only by your good looks. ๐
Merry christmas! And a happy VM!
A merry Xmas to you too Duncan, keep up the good work.

I “just” always read all your work
so thanks about that
Roberto.
Sounds like a great book, looking forward to reading it
Thanks for a great site with a lot of helpful tips and tricks!
First Merry Christmas.
Secondly, I just attempted to purchase both the vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS Technical Deepdive and the vSphere 5.0 Clustering Book from Amazon to read using the Kindle desktop application. After 3 hours chatting on-line with a “Kindle Specialist”, I was refunded the full cost of the purchase as neither eBook was readable.
The “Kindle Specialist” wasn’t sure why neither book was readable but they said they’d look into it.
I would like a copy! ๐
I am a regular reader, but this is my first comment, it might be worth it ๐

Duncan,
At almost every session i attended at vmworld this year the speaker(s) reffered to “a blog at Duncan’s website” for more information.
Its amazing to see that even in the international virtual community you have reached the level where they can easily leave out your last name and still everybody knows who we are talking about.
Thanx for all the blogs and please keep them comming.
Great 2012 2u2
Excellent blog. I have used material from the site to understand and repair issues since the early years.
