Will there ever be a day when #VDI success/failure isn’t dependent on software licensing issues (outside of actual VDI software)? #fixvda
Performance, scale, and responsiveness of infrastructure appeal to both #VDI administrators and users. #UDWebinar
Maybe gotowebinar could combine the boop and the voice and just have R2D2 narrate the pre-conference announcements. #UDWebinar
@RonOglesby and just think of the reception if you had an app for that :)
So today it was suggested that @elbrownmcne and I get coordinating jumpsuits. I’m not ok with this…

@RonOglesby but is there bacon and coffee?
SwiftOnSecurity Apple technology isn’t in Star Trek because they couldn’t integrate into existing Enterprise systems.
Bantik The more difficult the problem is that you’re trying to solve, the more likely it is that your bugs will be caused by typos.
Updating layers, modifying setup scripts, writing some #PowerCLI, and building some #VDI desktops. This is otherwise known as a good day #fb
iShBuu That feel where you see yum in /etc/ and say “shit it’s RHEL based” why can’t we all just use debian….
@edswindelles well hopefully deployment goes well. We’re a FourWinds shop.
@edswindelles so that was probably the least exciting possibility on my list of “what might he be doing.” What product you using?
@edswindelles building something fun?

@RonOglesby shouldn’t be too hard to get “Have bacon, will layer” to catch on.
@RonOglesby you’re bacon-less and coffee-less, you sure this is a state you want to be moving to?

I may not be as big as @RonOglesby, but I can take being the only Southeast @UnideskCorp user to clap for an API feature.
@iShBuu don’t get me wrong, I like the right click function, but I also realize how rarely I use it in View.
@iShBuu once in production I plan to be too distracted by the lack of blue candy cane progress bars to right click.

@iShBuu printers just seem to be an IT issue in general.
iShBuu If you’re attending the #Unidesk webinar use the hashtag #UDWebinar and tweet along with me
@JimPConroy @iShBuu We can’t be too far off with #Monkey #Monkey #Monkey.
@iShBuu But, yes it does look sweet.
@iShBuu trying to talk @RonOglesby into pulling an Oprah and let us find 2.6 release under our seats. Doesn’t seem likely however.
@iShBuu @RonOglesby might not take kindly to walking out of his talk to get on a webcast. :) Had it been another day, would be on & tweeting
Gave presentation, created more work for myself. :/
@iShBuu Nope no @UnideskCorp #Monkeys or #HoldMusic in the presentation. @JimPConroy did play some hold music for me during a break.
@RonOglesby 2.6 under our seats at the end? :) #YouDidAsk
So @cmidgley made a good call and decided to feed people before my presentation.
Hey @RonOglesby there’s a hashtag for this! :) #fixvda
Of course Gunter would be a topic of discussion within the first half-hour. :) #Legendary

@K8Zo talked to Lakeside recently, would liked to have seen more info from the vSphere level.
@K8Zo don’t have anything bad to say about either of those tools/organizations. Last I talked to Liquidware they didn’t have pool reporting.
@iShBuu you aren’t the first person I’ve heard name that as a plan. #WontNameNames
@iShBuu if the price for vCOPs (and the accompanying support) were easier to take, I’d probably be tweeting about my new install of vCOPs
@iShBuu don’t want to end up maintaining any more half-written/documented code than I have to.
@iShBuu cycle around to getting close to tearing into event DB, find another possibility to look at, then repeat.
@iShBuu Trying to chase max concurrent usage for each pool. — If event db had session IDs shared across start & end events would use that.
Surely there’s a straight forward way to report on usage in non-persistent VDI that deploys easily and comes at a reasonable cost!
@K8Zo also have spent some time this week looking at reporting/monitoring tools for VDI, seems to have turned into a never ended quest.
@K8Zo Not a problem, 140 characters limited how clearly I could state things.
@K8Zo “Support tool for generating additional Unidesk environment reports” unidesk.com/forum/feature-…
@K8Zo Well ok, that may not be entirely true. The new reporting tool from support looks GREAT, but haven’t had time to dive into it yet.
