Well, almost seven years after my last post, I’ve decided to move my personal home yet again. Things are going to be ugly for a while as I refresh most of the content and pages. Tumblr was a great, cheap option for

So I’ve decided to make some significant changes to my online presence.  The first of which is moving away from my self-hosted WordPress solution to Tumblr.  I have finished moving over all of the posts and will be transferring the domain name

I finally decided to do some housecleaning on the website. I noticed that the old theme didn’t seem to fully work with the latest version of WordPress so I’ve changed it to something that may or may not be temporary.

So, I finally decided to remove the weekly twitter blog posts. It was completely redundant – if you wanted to see what I post on twitter, you would’ve followed me @jbctech. It made the blog look terrible (even though I never update

Well, I apparently completely suck at this internet blog thing.  Shortly after working with the PR people at NetApp to get my own blog, I wrote a few short articles on installation of some of the products I work on and then…quit

I now have a second blog going on blogs.netapp.com.  It will be where all work-related postings go.  So, if you’re here looking for my random work related thoughts, please check out my new blog:  WHU Who!?

If you usually visit jbctech.com, you may have noticed that the site was redirected to an advertisement page for the last two days.  That’s because I forgot to renew my domain name.  I’ve owned jbctech.com for the last

I was browsing around the web the other day, and stumbled upon a blog entry from Jesse Ruderman.  In this blog entry, he describes one of the reasons he likes the hosting provider DreamHost so much.  You know what that is?  Snapshots.  Sweet! DreamHost

So, as most of you know…even though I work on the Windows platform – I’m an Apple fan.  As such, I subscribe to one of our mac mailing list to listen in on what other Appleheads at NetApp are doing.

It’s funny – the other day at work, I was talking to another Apple fan and we were discussing how dumb it is that the AirPort Extreme supported 802.11a, b, g, and even n but lacked gigabit ethernet.  I was really

Data ONTAP® DSM 3.1 for Windows® MPIO has been posted to the NetApp NOW website. Last week, we finalized the product and it is now available for download. This release includes the following new features: New load balance policies that offer

Yesterday, you may have noticed that the blog was down.  I recently switched hosting providers and had to move the data over.  As it turns out, everything appears to be fully functional again.  The backup from the previous hosting provider was a bit over

When I bought my MacBook Pro over a year ago, I also got AppleCare – it came highly recommended.  Well, after a year of just dealing with the high-pitched buzzing sound, I decided to send it off for repair.  I scheduled an appointment with

My friend RBChallenger from Lightning-Alley.com informed me that jbctech.com is worth around $19K on the LeapFish Domain appraisal site. Well…I don’t know about that, but I can tell you this: if anyone offered half that much for the

Well, everyone – I apologize. It’s funny – since I moved to North Carolina, I’ve had a hard time keeping in touch with people. When I do get time to catch up, they always mention the blog – and there

I am currently at this year’s Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Los Angeles, CA.  I arrived here yesterday and have had a chance to check out the Expo Hall, attend the keynote presentations by Bill Gates and Craig Mundie, as well

Well, after a couple months of not blogging anything, I figured it’s about time to make another attempt. 🙂 I’ve been extremely busy at work lately working on our next multipathing product for Windows. But, in my copious free time, I

Since this is a personal blog, I thought I’d go ahead and make the domain name match as such, so today, JamesMBurke.com went live.  It may take up to 72 hours for the DNS entries to resolve for you, but the
