“Cannot connect to the App Store” Mac OS X
I have been suffering from this problem for a few days now. Some of my apps won’t even open due to the lack of connectivity with the App Store. After doing the basic googling I found this support article from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203811 OS X: “Cannot connect” or “Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required” While attempting to use the Mac App Store on your Mac, you may see the message, “Cannot connect to the app store. An internet connection is required.” There are a few different situations that can cause this message to appear. Please consider each of the following situations and their potential resolutions. So I worked through the individual steps and rebooted after each one. After trying the steps to remove Invalid or Incorrect Certificates I got the following error: I knew I was onto the right track.

Bitnami and VMware vCloud Air
Bitnami recently launched an integrated portal allowing you to deploy any of the Bitnami server applications directly into vCloud Air with (nearly) one click. Today I finally got around to playing with it and have found it extremely simple and easy to quickly deploy anything from Bitnami. You can read the full article about what they built here.

At a recent internal conference a number of people asked me if I could provide a list of all the recent articles I have written. Rather than keep sending emails with links, I thought it would make more sense to provide a list of links here so that I can refer back when needed. It may also help a few other people out in the blogosphere.

VMworld Barcelona – Where I will be
A few people have contacted me on twitter recently asking what sessions I am presenting at VMworld Barcelona 2015. This post is to provide a quick list of the sessions, and date and times of those sessions. Before we get into what where and when my sessions will be though. Lets have a quick re-cap on some of the things that happened at VMworld 2015 USA. Also watch a re-cap with Jay Marshall (who forgets he no longer works at VMware) and Gary Coburn talking about the Google vCloud Air partnership. and of course, no vCloud Air recap would be great without George Kobar having an appearance. Watch George talk about Microsoft Sharepoint on vCloud Air. Here is my list of sessions: Session Number Session Title Abstract Date/Time EXPERT SESSION Disaster Recovery and Object Storage with Expert – David Hill Meet the experts session.
