Intro

Growth.  It's important in so many aspects of our lives; from our careers, health, and relationships.  The famed motivational, self-help guru Tony Robbins says that beyond our basic needs, we need growth and giving back in order to truly be fulfilled.  In addition to adding to ourselves, sometimes growth requires us to rebuild a portion of ourselves.  Well, Splunk is no different.  In order for it to keep it's self-esteem high, it also needs to grow. In this blog post I wanted to cover a process to expand the number of indexers in an existing Splunk deployment while also...

Over the last half year I’ve been involved in different migration projects for different customers.  These migrations commonly involved moving WordPress to Drupal-6, WP-to-D7, D6-to-D7, and D7-to-D8.

Migrations are way to move content from its original (source) site to its updated (target) site.  It's done in a structured way to save a LOT of work when compared to rebuilding a site from scratch. 

The funnest migration so far I’ve been involved with migrated a very large proprietary CMS portal site into a customized Drupal 7 distribution (OpenAtrium).  The original site was...

I wanted to blog about something exciting and relative to the current hour such as "who will win the coming presidential race to the Whitehouse", especially that the first presidential debate of 2012 is looming (personally I think Jim Lehrer is pretty lame and would have preferred to see Oprah Winfrey conducting these debates.)  But my friend ...
