    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.

    DevOpsDays MSP 2014

    • 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.

    Gorgeous day for US National Kubb Championship!
