Collection of useful, relevant or inane places on the the Internets for 28th May:
- Lifehacker – land work with a dumbed down resume – Lifehacker suggests dumbing down your resume to make you employable on the basis that if you are too good or too well qualified then you are a flight risk.
That probably works for soft skills like management and human remorse, but for hard skills like networking, I suggest you ignore this. You don't have the skills, I won't hire you.
- Fibre channel over Ethernet a hot topic, so hurry up and wait – Network World – I told you so. Although I thought that FCoE would arrive 2010, now looking more like 2011. If that is true, it might never arrive since iSCSI performance in VMWare vSphere is through the roof.




Ugh. FCoE is dumb. FC is fine. Ethernet based disk traffic is fine. Why must people merge these technologies into an unholy alliance that suffers from the weaknesses of both?
It helps if you think of FCoE as connection to your legacy FC infrastructure. Frankly, I think any FC is stupid idea and iSCSI needs to hurry and get finished.
We have to have viable alternatives to FC!
