10/3/22: I posted this on subnetzero.info on August 17, but somehow it got stuck in drafts here on Substack. Re-posting. My blogging has been a little slow of late. First there was Cisco Live. Then there was the post-Cisco Live slump of not wanting to do anything. Then there was the Cisco's fiscal year-end crunch along with some very hot projects. Then there was the departure of one of our key execs, and subsequent excitement. Then one of my direct reports fell gravely ill, and there was both the stress of that along with the burden of picking up the management of his team. Then there is simply the fact that, in order to blog, one has to come up with ideas. And often I don't have any.
