Since Greg got appointed as the Indian cricket team coach, we get to see a lot of news stories about him. One such instance was an old PETA ad featuring Greg Chappell that I came across. What caught my attention was the juggling theme which is what we use in almost all our OpManager ads. (find both the images attached)

Btw, OpManager 5.6 got released last week. ServiceDesk Plus, our Help Desk & Asset Management software & NetFlow Analyzer, our indepth bandwidth analysis tool have been well integrated with OpManager now. You can now raise tickets automatically for your network faults, get to see an asset’s complete details & drill down to see the Top Applications/Sources on a router interface, all from within OpManager.

Do check out OpManager 5.6 which adds the much awaited Exchange 2000/2003 monitoring (through WMI) & Firewall monitoring (support for Cisco PIX, Fortigate & NetScreen firewalls).

Saw a program yesterday which featured a copter tour to a live & active volcano. It was bizzare next only to space tourism. 4 or 5 men from different parts of the world (and obviously who weren’t volcanologists) were taken to some place in Russia where a volcano had started spewing smoke. After 4 unsuccessful trips, the group finally succeeded in seeing volcanic activity. The sights were breathtaking & reminded me of some tornado videos.

That was the question the blogosphere was asking or answering to for the last one week or so. Ian Turner, moderator of one of the forums of the Webmaster World, got traced to being in Atlanta after he’d lost his passport. Many of the prominent blogs including Kuro5hin’s, Google’s, Seth Godin’s reported the news. Much of the drama as it unfolded, here.

Just an example of the far reach of blogs.
