- DevOpsDays MSP day 2 getting started with Jeff Sussna!
- Thank you DevOpsDays MSP for opportunity to sponsor a great event!
- The primary objective of development teams is to create new services and applications.
- The primary objective of tech operations is to insure 24x7 operations, which all change threatens.
- Any tech organization that doesn’t acknowledge, embrace and empathize around these two facts has a broken culture.
- Agree with this @beerops.
- There are places where developers are not on call? Technology is on the hook, not just one part.
- Yikes. That’s a lot of red.
- “There is no root cause.” - Ian Malpass
- “Root cause” dismisses the inherit complexity in large systems.
- I prefer the term “incident report” over “root cause analysis” because oftentimes there is no root cause.
Good morning from Grand Marais.
WikiApiary Stickers
StickerMule had a great deal a couple of weeks ago so I had these fun WikiApiary clear vinyl stickers made. They really came out great!
If you want one for your laptop or whatever send me a note and I’ll put one in the mail.

Enjoying stage 2 with my viewing station all setup. Mini Jambox is critical addition.

Soccer will be a little less exciting now with USA out of the World Cup but still looking forward to matches. ⚽️

Ice Cream Riot in Denver
When we are on vacation we tend to enjoy an afternoon ice cream stop and this afternoon we had the delight of experiencing Ice Cream Riot in Denver’s Northeast neighborhood. This shop is relatively new and the guy that owns it works the counter, makes all of the ice cream and experiments with a lot of interesting flavors.
We had Andes Mint, English Toffee and Fruit Loops ice cream! Given another visit I’d be trying the a milkshake!
The ice cream is ridiculously good. Super creamy, smooth, tasty. I think you could put pretty much anything in it and it would taste amazing. Asparagus Ice Cream anyone? I think it would probably be delicious if you started with the base ice cream he is using.
The shop has a great vibe. It feels like any craft coffee shop you might visit. Relaxed, sparse, clean, simple. All good stuff.
If your in Denver and are not lactose intolerant, get yourself here! I liked this place so much I actually posted a review on Yelp!
Having fun teaching Mazie and Tyler how to use a YoYo on vacation. Got myself a nice heavy one with low resistance and tons of spin.
Wow Corvus Coffee! Very impressed.
Delicious macchiato at Black Eye Coffee.
Happy to have 2914 Coffee just a couple blocks from where we are staying in Denver. Delicious cortado. ☕️
