  • The kroger deli is so slow that time may actually have started moving in reverse. #
  • @wesbutler do we have clearance to talk about the feedback button on the web? In addition to the tearoff cards in wmnews. Would be great. #
  • @wesbutler talking about Twitter from the stage. Thataboy. Follow @watermarkchurch and @wordsfromwags. #
  • @benjordan omm nom nom. in reply to benjordan #

  • @cyberentomology @wantmoore Coming from Dallas where it's 67 degrees today… not quite as exciting… but there IS In&Out burger. =) in reply to cyberentomology #
  • I'm what you call a machine gun tweeter. I don't fire off tweets all that often but when I do, you can expect them to come in bursts. #
  • @matthewjmoore where are you headed? in reply to matthewjmoore #
  • @rhowell can't wait to hear about your trip to EP. in reply to rhowell #
  • @suzpeeps I think you're right. in reply to suzpeeps #
  • @MichaelDell welcome to Twitter. Had a great time at the #eqlconf last week. You have an amazing Equallogic product and team. #
  • Love this time of year. http://post.ly/R7zU #
  • Amazed just how much food my children can consume at this place. Good for me, they're eating half my breakfast too. #
  • 1st Saturday of the month is date breakfast with the two big girls. This month they choose Ihop. Rooty tootie fresh n fruty. #
  • Sitting here holding my breath to see if @kegsalot will actually tweet something. #teamkegsalot #
  • If you can't trust your church leadership to operate ethically, run the other direction. Don't even play around at a church like that. #
  • @OneSeventeen yep drobopro is great for backup but I wouldn't use it for primary storage. in reply to OneSeventeen #
  • @fullerIT just an FYI, doing a national church IT roundtable down at Saddleback next thurs and fri. Info at citrt.org. Love to see you there in reply to fullerIT #
  • Super excited about #citrt national roundtable next week at Saddleback. Will be fun to meet lots of twitter and IRC friends in person. #
  • If anyone wants to know why we are building @getshadetree as opensource. It's because churches need to collaborate. Stop building silos. #
  • When someone else holds the fate of YOUR code in their hands, it's like being held for ransom. #opensource #
  • So today Apple just decided to pull all wifi scanner type apps from the apple store. And people wonder why "modified open source" is bad? #
  • @rhowell I just gained 5 lbs thinking about Uno's pizzaria. in reply to rhowell #
  • After the #eqlconf I felt the need to go look at the arrays. Ooooh pretty blinky lights. http://post.ly/Qn9z #
  • @kegsalot AND @suspeeps in one day! @rhowell is quite the evangelist! #
  • @DellServerGeek @sanpenguin Please note that I will be happy to attend any social media event involving doughnuts. =) in reply to DellServerGeek #
  • @rhowell We'll be praying for your tough ministry over the next few days. =) in reply to rhowell #
  • Summit men's Bible study this morning @watermarkchurch. 6:30am every Thursday. Get here and learn to lead well. #
  • @mattvogt ha! Awesome. in reply to mattvogt #
  • Michael Dell dropped by the EqualLogic conference today. Pretty sweet. http://twitpic.com/16ga51 #
  • @mattvogt we're not technically gone, I mean I'm still IN Dallas. ;) in reply to mattvogt #
  • Done w/ 3 days with the Dell equallogic team. Hands down best tech conference I've been to. You've set the bar high for a repeat. #eqlconf #
  • RT @JasonPowell: Shhhhh, here's the NDA stuff from #EQLconf http://bit.ly/4vjkdk #
  • About to start a session I can't tweet about. It's probably made from awesomeness and covered in awesomesauce. #eqlconf #nda #
  • The #citrt gang at the eqlconf including Giancarlo, @jasonpowell and @watermarkgeek http://twitpic.com/16eamf / church IT EQL nerds! #
  • @bitbud @bamed check out Aruba networks. It's awesome. #citrt in reply to bitbud #
  • Don't go to downtown Dallas enough. Forget how cool it is. #
  • @wesbutler Agreed. I'd much prefer a station that is dangerous for the whole family. in reply to wesbutler #
  • Running late to #EQLConf this morning. Commuting to downtown is not fun. #
  • @cgreentx Wish we had a better idea what he stood for/against on the issues. http://bit.ly/alqUR1 but yes, perry's not a true conservative in reply to cgreentx #
  • Had an awesome day with the EqualLogic product team. Confirmed what we've always known… We made the right choice on storage. #eqlconf #
  • #EQLConf but true that the eql vmware enhancements will require enterprise plus vmware licensing? Say it ain't so! #
  • @JasonPowell part of why we don't use EQL tools is because we get completely different advice/direction from vmware. No synergy. #eqlconf in reply to JasonPowell #
  • Really like Vernon Miller from Eql support. Good teacher. Reminds me of a college prof! ;) #eqlconf #
  • For the record, vmware licensing stinks. Can we please change our licensing model about 50 times between each release? <sarcasm> #eqlconf #
  • #EQLConf iSCSI initiator and mpio conversation. This is a blackhole for us. We need to understand more of this, especially around vmware. #
  • SSD is best suited to high random read workloads. Not write workloads. If you are doing around 70% random reads, good candidate #eqlconf #
  • #EQLConf talking about SSD. Multi level cell (consumer) vs single level cell (enterprise). Write limits much higher in slc. #
  • #eqlconf this 'boutique' is preaching to the choir! We know and use all of this stuff :) /via @mellerbeck / feel a sudden nap coming on. #
  • I think this chocolate espresso tart may kill me. But at this point I don't care. #eqlconf #noselfcontrol #
  • @SANPenguin all depends on the server. For us memory limits on 1950s keep us running fewer vms. in reply to SANPenguin #
  • Sound like interesting integration for MPIO between VSphere and EqualLogic coming after vsphere 4.1 is released. #eqlconf #
  • @wantmoore who needs docs when you have 60 Dell people close enough to hit with a rock. (not saying that I'm planning on throwing rocks. ) in reply to wantmoore #
  • Can anyone clairify how the HIT kit mpio functionality fits (or doesn't) into a vsphere4 environment? Best practices? #eqlconf #
  • My tweets are more geeky than normal for the next 2 days. apologies to my non-geeky followers… #
  • #EQLConf You typically want latencies under 20ms. At least. #
  • Tcp/ip retransmits should be less than 1%. If not, check defective cables, flow control, bad switch ports, oversubscribed, etc #EQLConf #
  • @wantmoore not saying anything. I have the right to remain silent. ;) #eqlconf in reply to wantmoore #
  • Applications like video editing (specifically HD video) create large sequential reads and writes. (yep…no question) #
  • Sitting in the SAN HQ session at #eqlconf Talking about how to get the most from our storage. #
  • Praveen Asthana, guru of enterprise strategy for Dell at the #eqlconf #fb http://post.ly/QNT4 #
  • Brisk walk through Victory Plaza this morning. Fun! #
  • @jeffsecules ha. We take the train to the zoo also! in reply to jeffsecules #
  • On train to downtown Dallas for #eqlconf Never ride the train. Feeling so urban today (Mr. Suburbia goes to the Big City.) #fb #
  • Spending some time on http://www.jointhejourney.com this morning before headed downtown to the #eqlconf #
  • 100 #equallogic customers here at #eqlconf 3 churches represented! #citrt http://post.ly/QIAj /via @JasonPowell #
  • Again… Omm nom nom. #eqlconf http://post.ly/QHpX #
  • So the W hotel printed the menu for the Dell event on HP printer paper. That's got to be a breakdown in communication somewhere.;) #eqlconf #
  • Braised beef short ribs with aspiration. What does that mean? The cow had big dreams? Too bad, he's my dinner now. Omm nom nom. #eqlconf #
  • Getting ready to start dinner and kickoff of #eqlconf http://post.ly/QHfW #
  • @GregAtkinson awesome! So thankful. in reply to GregAtkinson #
  • Enjoying hanging with @paulrhoades at the #eqlconf reception. Lots of geek talk. Perhaps the nerdiest place in Dallas tonight. Love it! #fb #
  • Just finished drooling over Dell servers. Hope I didn't fry anything. #eqlconf #
  • Wondering where the ellusuve @JasonPowell is hiding out at #eqlconf ;) in reply to JasonPowell #
  • @SANPenguin no worries if we have to pay for it. Not a big deal. in reply to SANPenguin #
  • @mellerbeck yeah but us local guys don't have a room… Thus no access. No big deal, I can always pay 9 bucks or whatever if I need it ;) in reply to mellerbeck #
  • Any ideas on Internet connectivity for the eql conference? Is it all paid wifi or do we have a passcode? #eqlconf #
  • Just heard the quote. "spanning tree, the bane of every network person's existance". So true. #eqlconf #
  • Sitting in the iscsi best practices seminar at the Dell EqualLogic user conference. Looking forward to learning a ton. #eqlconf #
  • Headed to the Dallas Equallogic conference. #eqlconf #

  • Take a sample of 20 ppl in your church, if from that group 1 outsider is led 2 Christ in a year. Happens in only 4% of US churches. #
  • Staff prayer with the team @watermarkchurch. Matt 15, is the grace of God through Christ enough for you today? #
  • @dszp Unless you are already neck deep in keepass and lazy… but I probably should play with @lastpass anyway =) in reply to dszp #
