Recently I’ve been getting very excited about Openflow and it’s various interrelated projects under the banner of OpenStack, particularly Quantum and Open vSwitch.
Whats got me going about this, in particular, is it’s providing the ability for people (admittedly not ordinary people) to write their own network protocols. Why is this a good thing you ask? Don’t we already have a bunch of protocols both proprietary and open?
My wife and I were talking the other day about document management. I’m just an end-user of such things but she deals with the admin and back-end stuff. We both concluded a lot of the problems perceived with DM systems is due to the way they’re setup.
Business Card design proofs turned up and they look good just missing the job description.
While not wanting to sound like I’m flogging a dead horse, having the right people with the right expertise and experience can be invaluable, and sometimes that means independent advice.
Take this photo for example.
This is what my day today entailed. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, but it will be better when it’s fired up.
