  • OKD 4.5 small cluster on ESX

    I needed to create a small OKD/OpenShift setup so I could play around with it and get comfortable with using it, developing on it and administering it.

  • Spark Cricket League 2020: Inventory Busters vs CRM & Crick Baazingers

    What a shame that we only got to the quarters before Covid-19 stopped play. In the qualifiers The Inventory Busters(89/4) won over CRM(88/9) and P2P Tigers(114/6) won over Data Mafia(87/7) so it would have been an interesting paring in the finals of Inventory Busters against P2P Tigers.
