Hard to believe, but it’s been five years since this blog debuted. Check the AIXchange archives and see for yourself.
Since the launch of AIXchange, I’ve written approximately 250 weekly posts — I don’t think we’ve missed more than a handful of weeks in five years. Sometimes I’m asked where I come up with the ideas and topics that I write about. The simple answer is I spend time at customer sites around the U.S., listening to the concerns of people working in their data centers. I talk to customers who are looking at different technologies and solutions. Sometimes I attend training or seminars and conferences.
I read technical manuals. I read other AIX blogs and follow AIX pros on Twitter. I respond to reader questions. In short, every day is a learning experience for me, and I try to share what I learn here.
I greatly enjoy doing this, and I plan to continue as long as you keep reading. Along those lines, what would like to read about going forward? What information would help you deal with the challenges you face in your department and across your company? Are there topics I’ve overlooked? Are there things I’ve covered too much? Please share your views and ideas. That’s how it works, after all.
