vSoup Episode #34 - Shouting with the Whisperers [ 40:23 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (300)
Two thirds of the Geek Whisperers Podcast join is for a decidedly non-techie serving of vSoup.
For some reason John Troyer snubbed us, but hey, we can´t really complain since both Amy Lewis and Matthew Brender graced us with their presence.
Naturally we get into a social media, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Topic list:
- Using social media correctly and incorrectly
- Is Community Social 2.0
- Getting weird IT guys to be extroverts
- BBS Systems the first Twitter type Platform?
- How Social Media created vSoup
- Is Social Media being used for any other professions than IT?
- Social media usage and challenges on the horizon
So there it is, a podcast with another podcast crew talking social media. Meta much?
vSoup Episode #33 - Mike Lavericks Most Excellent Adventure [ 38:07 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (298)
Guess who´s back? Yes, yet again we get to philosophize with Mike Laverick.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K, and perhaps we´re all suffering from a mild form of hysteria, but this is a fun one!
Listen to this dude Rufus, he knows what he’s talking about.
Our most excellent list of topics include:
- “Mike’s Epic Journey to the vCloud“
- Mike’s new Role at VMware
- Can you turn a blog into a book?
- Evolution of vCloud director thru versions
- Other cloud automation tools
- VMware and Puppet
- Does 68+ posts on vCloud director make it too complicated? (or even 71 as it is at the time of writing)
- Usage cases for vCloud Director and other products
- 3rd party Virtualization stacks
- vShield
And remember: be excellent to each other!
(ok, ok, I went overboard with the references in this one, but hey, I believe our adventure through time has taken a most serious turn.)
Do we need Puppet for People? Will we all turn into Geppetto in the end? Nick Weaver explains it all, in this 32 minute quickie.
Nick, who blogs at nickapedia.com is as quick with his mouth as he is with his blogging, so you´re in for a real quickfire episode!
I´m sure we have missed something, but conversation items include:
- Nicks Career Transformation
- Automation – will it replace YOU?
- DevOPs and the next level of automation
- Puppet and how to make sure your underpants are on first.
- Automation with regards to the evolution of Tech
- API’s and their importance
Now, let us all hope that Chris figures out how many hats to wear, or if he remembered to put on underwear before pants. We do not want Chris going commando, trust me.

Maish Saidel-Keesing, you know, the don´t vote for me guy who came in at a very respectable #41 place in this years top VMware & virtualization blog vote, was voted our favorite guest for Episode #30!
We go on and on about CloudCredibility and gamification, but we also get to poke around a few other subjects as well:
