1/ After hearing a lot of @dmtf Redfish talks at @osfc_io this week - it hit me:

Redfish is the new SNMP

And I mean that in the unkindest way possible.
@DMTF @osfc_io 2/ Every 10 years or so, some community discovers the notion of abstract syntax, and sets out to define *everything* with standard schemas.

X.500, XML, JSON, ...
@DMTF @osfc_io 3/ The standards process is soon years ahead of implementations (which are driven by actual engineeering). Nobody can even afford to implement all of the relevant schemas.
@DMTF @osfc_io 4/ Next, the implementors discover urgent needs for stuff not in the standard, and sure as hell can't wait for the process. (Or even afford to *join* $$$ the frickin committees)

40 years ago today: I joined a tiny startup called Sun Microsystems. What a ride! Here's the never-before-told story of how I arrived at Sun as employee #8! ๐Ÿงต Image
I started out in Silicon Valley in June of 1978 working at Amdahl Corp. porting UNIX to the mainframe, a revival of the work started at Princeton in 1975. Image
Sometime in late '80 I moved over to Amdahl's architecture group to work on data communications - X.25, SNA, etc. But that work wasn't too satisfying. Image

Who's ready for more Networking History? - all about APPLETALK! Image
When the Apple Macintosh came out in 1984, it came with a new serial port implementation. Initially, it looked like nothing special - a port for a modem, a port for a printer. Image
But internally it used the Zilog Z8530 SCC, which was a deviation from the 8274 used by the PC world. Coincidentally, Sun also used the Z8530 for serial ports all through the 80s (at least). Image
