Fall is practically upon us. Those of us of the Jewish faith are slicing up the apples and dragging out the honey bears while listening to well-wishes from the prez. And for everyone, it seems that a sense of renewal is in the air.
Some items this week caught our eye over here at Online Storage Op:
You Lie! Who Coined the Term Data Deduplication? – Dr. Dedupe over at NetApp goes all “history detective” on us, and tries to discover who first used the term that has come to mean so much to so many — “data deduplication.” A fun read for a Friday.
Marc Farley skewers Chuck Hollis – 3Par blog-o-riffic Storagerap is now featuring comics and I for one am shaking in my boots about being lampooned. You could be next, so if you see a guy with a camera strapped to his steering wheel shadowing a cherry Vega, be warned. You heard it here first.
Chuck’s blog has a really interesting post on “Managing Your IT Career in Turbulent Times” — This is not the one Farley skewered but the one before it. A great example of a thoughtful, helpful post from a senior insider at EMC. It gives some great specifics on trends.
Not storage-related, but anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock lately must have noticed the complete Kanye mania that has taken over the Internet, and… IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT FIRST I MUST TELL YOU THAT KANYE HAD THE BEST INTERRUPTION EVER! … Ahem! … Enjoyed the endlessly circulated YouTube video? Now buy the t-shirt.
We wish you all a healthy, happy weekend and we’ll see you back here next week.
