November statistics

Duncan Epping · Dec 7, 2008 ·

I was just looking at my statistics because I had some requests for banners. And the first banner has just been added to the website: VM People.

There are just a few spots for banners, so if you are interested just let me know and we will work something out. [Read more…] about November statistics

The Dutch VMUG!

Duncan Epping · Dec 4, 2008 ·

Just a week to go for the event of the year in the Benelux. The Dutch VMUG Event 2008! Over 500 people have registered so it almost sold out. Be sure to get your tickets now if you want to go.

I think it’s amazing that such a small country has such a huge active VMware User Group. Not only a huge VMware User Group, but also a huge amount of bloggers. Of which a couple are really notorious:

  • Eric Sloof – NTPRO
  • Bouke Groenescheij – Jume
  • Sven Huisman – VirtualFuture.Info
  • Arne – ict-freak.nl
  • Gabe – GabesVirtualWorld.com
  • Ivo Beerens – Virtual Ief
  • Aleks – virtualistic.nl
  • Joep – virtuallifestyle.nl

And I probably left out a few. So as you can see, the Dutch love technology! Anyway, most of the bloggers will be there, and they will be recognizable. So if you see any of us walking around, come up and have chat, we won’t bite! (well at least most of us won’t, I can’t vouch for Gabe unfortunately!)

Update your bookmarks: Tom Howarth is blogging!

Duncan Epping · Dec 2, 2008 ·

Update your bookmarks, the famous VMTN Moderator Tom Howarth just started blogging. I expect some quality content up there. So add Tom’s website to your RSS feed: PlanetVM.net.

Top referrers last 30 days

I saw this post by Jason Boche next week and thought it might be interesting to create a list like he did and compare.

  1. vmware.com/vmtn/planet/v12n
  2. vmware-land.com/Vmware_launchpad.html
  3. vmware-land.com/Top_10_Lists.html
  4. communities.vmware.com/
  5. blog.scottlowe.org
  6. vmetc.com
  7. vmwaretips.com/wp/2008/10/20/advanced-settings-for-vmware-ha/
  8. virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/
  9. blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2008/10/vcenter-adminis.html
  10. blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2008/11/nfslockdisable.html

Jason’s list actually looks really similar to mine. Planet V12 right on top, VM/ETC, Scott Lowe and Eric Siebert’s VMware-land are providing us with a lot of hits. Only real difference is the VMware communities on my list and Petri IT Knowledgebase on Jason’s… Anyway, thanks for the traffic.

Update: new design

Duncan Epping · Nov 24, 2008 ·

I just fixed a couple of things in the new design/theme you guys requested:

  • Header logo brings you back home,
  • Comment numbering per blog entry instead of total amount of comments
  • “Recent Comments” entries link directly to comment
  • Default gravatar and size of the gravatar(down to 60×60), get a gravatar here!
  • Seperated ping/trackbacks from the comments, located at the bottom of the blog entry
  • Blogroll, changed it to a static page instead of a widget
  • « Go to Previous Page
  • Page 1
  • Interim pages omitted …
  • Page 17
  • Page 18
  • Page 19
  • Page 20
