I’m getting caught up on my blog reading after my big APAC (that’s Asia Pacific) tour with a half-busted Mac, and noticed Tom’s post at Matasano on detecting unauthorized hypervisors. Tom and Nate have been going back and forth with Joanna Rutkowska on how detectable these things might be. For those of you less familiar with all this virtualization stuff, let’s review a little bit.
Hoff owned me. In an email he claimed he pwned me, but he totally didn’t earn that p.
Apparently I’m slightly late to the game in talking about hyperjackstacks (we’re back on virtualization, in case I lost you). That’s something I’m totally willing to concede, especially since I’m more of a data and applications guy.
Here I am, just off the bench after six months of watching from the sidelines, and when I’m still two feet away from the darn batter’s box Hoff lets loose with a hundred mile per hour fastball right at my head.
Got questions? Think I might know the answer? Just bored and need someone to pretend to be your friend?

If you’re reading this, I’m no longer a Gartner analyst.
For the past 7 years or so I’ve had the best experience of my professional (and often personal) career. The product of a bad acquisition and short stint in consulting, Gartner gave a young unknown hothead the opportunity to become an industry analyst.
Like many frequent travelers, I tend to rely on sleeping pills to help me out with the jetlag. One 30 pill prescription for Ambien CR usually lasts me about 9 months, and definitely gets the job done.
I’m estimating around 60 hours in planes and airports, assuming no flight delays.
Can I go back to the dentist instead?

I’m on the 40 minute flight from Phoenix to Vegas for two back-to-back conferences any reader of this blog better already know about. As usual, the drama is already starting with rumors, innuendo, on-stage battles between presentations, the ever-elusive hunt for the next *-gate, and the always popular feats of strength.
If you read this, you know why. Arriving Tuesday, departing Monday. Probably at Hotel Paris since I didn’t get my stuff together in time. *[Email:]: Email *[Twitter:]: Twitter *[Phone:]: Phone
