Who are you?

Feel the power of the Dark Side! Still, you can feel the good in me :-)

Hello,

Great initiative !

From Belgium, small country at north-east of France, West Europe,

I am enjoying Networker since its version 3.1. (Year 1995 !).

At that time, GUI was a just dream and all of the power of the CLI

was in your finger, not at mouse-click :-). During 13 years, I worked for

former Digital Equipment Corporation (aka DEC), that has been bought by

Compaq and later on by HP, all long giving support and consultance on Networker

suite and Clustering (HP Tru64 Cluster, MSCS)

Loving storage (EMC, IBM, HDS, NetApps, ...) and data protection (Networker,

HP Data Protector, ...) and HA, DRP, ... , my hearth balances between

Unix and Windows worlds and their applications (SQL, Exchange, ...)

Hi everyone!

I'm Chris.

1. I'm an EMC PP in Clariion based in South Australia.

2. I'm not afraid of hard problems or high stress situations- trial by fire in my previous (and first full time) job has iven me a thick skin.

3. I love glass art and wish I could afford to make it.

I design solutions primarily for virtualisation in small- medium businesses. I've been working with storage for about 4 years now but I've really homed in on it in the last two. I'm currently cramming for my Clariion Specialist certificate and getting my head around the best way to use the recently 'rumored' new features of the unified storage platform (flare 30).

Hi Thiery, I went on a tour of France a couple of years ago and it was led by a woman from Belgium.  We were so happy to have her guide us, particuarly when we ran into difficulty communicating in French.

So, what brought you to our community?  Intersted to hear how new posters learned about us.

Michelle

Welcome Tharuman. I love to read also, but usually in the morning before work.  By bedtime, my eyes are tired and I'm sleepy.

What sort of things do you like to read?

Michelle

Gday (I just love that!).  So I'm now intrigued by 'one thing that most people don't know about you!'  You have to know that anything we imaging will probably be far more colorful than the secret itself :-)

Just wondering how you found us.  I noticed it was your first post, can you tell us where you first heard about this community?

Michelle

Hello Michelle,

The darkside lured me in!

I was introduced to this community by a local Pre-sale engineer as I have expressed that we would like to connect with local Network users to enable knowledge sharing.  Ignore the word local, that was the previous thinking global is fine too.

Cheers,

Alex.

Hi Michelle,

You can call me 'TT'

For me, I prefer to read before bedtime....wasn't that what was supposed to make you fall asleep?

I read fictions written by Robert van Gulik noted for this Judge Dee mysteries series, Alan Dean Foster and Salman Rushdie (currently reading Enchantress of Florence). Non-fictions such as self-help books ranging from Body Language to Memory Improvements...etc...phew! that's about my list for now .

Regards

Hi TT,

When I'm in the mood for inspirational reading, I re-read The Ramayana and when I'm REALLY into inspiration I re-read The Mahabaretta (have a bit of trouble understanding that one).

But, I also read a lot of fiction.  Vince Flynn has some great US political thrillers; seems as though I gravitate toward mysteries and thrillers mostly.  If I read at night, it would keep me awake as I have difficulty putting a book down once I start!  I always have to end at chapter's end..not sure what that says about me, but that's how it is!

Walter Ellinthorpe : Former EMC employee (RNS and SA) of six years.  Helped to write the first NAS test for EMC PP cert.  Specialist with Celerra, Calrrion and all Fibre Channel Switches.

No fiction author can match the bizare story lines and plots, scheaming, manuvering, and all out battle that you find in history.  Read about Hannibal, Scipio, Alexandar, Ghengis Khan and Charlemegne,  Now I need to move on to Peter the Great, Luis XIV and Elizabeth (a little more modern :-) )

Hi Walter, and welcome to the community!

Don't forget Caligula......I'll be the first to admit it, I watched a series on PBS about that scoundrel years ago and thorougly enjoyed it.  Talk about political maneuvering :-)

Michelle

Yea, kind of like an average day at the office  :-)
