vCoffee Links Issue #4 – 5/19/2014
Ugh… Monday. But it was a great weekend. Missed posting vCoffee links last week. Just a lot going on and I have been tied up with a couple of projects. Plus the weather has finally warmed up, so I have been trying to spend some time away from the computer.
Took a trip to the Chrylser Museum in Norfolk, VA to see the Duck. Even got photo bombed by the duck while taking a selfie.
Also took a walk around the Stockley Gardens Arts Festival. Had a great time and the weather could not have been better.
Now on to the links…

I am using the vSphere Web Client more and more. Can’t say that it is equal to the Windows vSphere Client, but if you want access to the new features available in vSphere 5.5, well you have to get use to change.
