NetWorker Haiku of the Week
Hello, all.
We'd been discussing Social Media and the merits of the expansive vs concise formats offered by competing platforms, when I pointed out that haiku is no less profound for being brief.
I know the NetWorker community has a lot of clever people; we can come up with a good Haiku.
So I'd like to announce a contest:
Please submit a NetWorker Haiku on the theme of "sense of security" to the community between now and next Friday noon, Pacific time. The winning Haiku will be sent over Twitter to NetWorker users woldwide (*). And I will pledge an EMC USB memory stick bracelet or some other EMC / NetWorker swag(*) to the winner (**).
As reminder for those of us who went into computers because English class wasn't as memorable, a haiku is a very brief poem in seventeen syllables organized as 5 / 7 / 5. There is no end rhyme.
So one example might be
NetWorker running / console tailored to my views / I know all is well
Post your ideas!
Richard
(*) I am not in the Marketing team. They control the Twitter account. They have the bag of swag. But I know the marketing team and am pretty sure I can peer-pressure them into posting a good Haiku. and I am sure I can dig into my own stash for a NetWorker or EMC thing I could send to a good home in support of a worthy haiku. My shirts have been worn, which makes them a poor gift, but I'll find something from one of the "thank you for shipping release X" presents if nothing else. Or perhaps I can talk the Marketing folk in to sending something more official / better.
(**) Determination of the judge will be final, unless shouted down by a really large, loud fraction of the participants.

I'm terrible with haikus, but even I'll give it a go:
Recover add files
NetWorker saved my data
Company survives
or,
NetWorker backup
Clone stage and recover it
Everything OK
If I can manage that, I'm sure someone else can do better!

The Community
Swap solutions together
I can see the light
Not much security in that one!
NetWorker is fast
I rely on it daily
Perfect dreams tonight
I'll help out with some gifts too- mugs, memory sticks, etc. I think I still owe Preston something for the previous quiz that he answered. :-) Let's hear from some of the lurkers out there too!

I would like to give this a try as well, knowing that I don't have a creative bone in my body
Fedup with backup
Recovery a worry
NetWorker the best

Thanks to everyone that voted for me - I really liked the other entrants haikus too.
