SFD19: No Komprise on Knowing Thy Data

Posted on 2020-02-052020-04-29 by Becky Elliott

One of my favorite presenters at #SFD19 was Komprise, an analytics-driven data management platform designed for getting insights on unstructured data. Think analysis of TB and PBs of file-based data (NFS, SMB) for customers across many verticals, including Financial, Health, Entertainment, and Government. Storage Field Day 19 wasn’t my first introduction to Komprise. Because of…

Debunking Your Inconsistency Story

Posted on 2020-01-302020-05-19 by Becky Elliott

audio recording courtesy of allears.cc   “I’m not sure who I am, but I know who I’ve been.” —Modest Mouse. “Make Everyone Happy/Mechanical Birds“ If quitting your job doesn’t cause you to question your identity, nothing will. We are conditioned to tie who we are to what we do. More than that, we create stories…

Miracles and Meaning?

Posted on 2020-01-282020-09-13 by Becky Elliott

I’m ready to defer this haphazard career journey I started in August. As much as substitute teaching and exploring special education excite me, that “Change Yo Life” fund is empty, and not having a steady paycheck is hard. But giving up your financial security and not having a “shit hits the fan” safety net sends…

On the Road Again: #SFD19 Bound

Posted on 2020-01-202020-01-20 by Becky Elliott

In the last four months of 2019, I traveled so much that I had to make a promise to keep the peace at home. After HopperX1NYC in November, I wouldn’t travel again until January 2020. When I made that promise, I had my fingers crossed that an invite to Storage Field Day 19 would come…

New Gig Chronicles: Back-to-School Edition

Posted on 2020-01-132020-01-12 by Becky Elliott

Today is the revelation of something that I’ve worked for three months to bring to fruition. Honestly, this adventure might be 35 years in the making. Picture a bossy little girl, chalk, and chalkboard in hand, begging grownups to play student to her teacher. That was me. And I’m about to embark on my first…

Word Up: 2020 Edition

Posted on 2019-12-312019-12-31 by Becky Elliott

“Daddy works. Mommy doesn’t work,’ my daughter cheerfully said to my mother-in-law as we packed up to lease.  While I tried to quickly interject that she wasn’t right and that I write, her words stung. Was this the “less” I had envisioned for 2019? Eleven months earlier, my massage therapist asked, “Do you have a…

2019 Retrospective: Wins, Woes and Lessons Learned

Posted on 2019-12-292019-12-29 by Becky Elliott

Dear Universe. 2019 was pretty epic. Can you send just as much change and adventure in 2020?  Signed Becky. 2019 changed me. Am I “100% that bitch” who takes bold actions? I hope. Author Simon Sinek has this quote that I love. “Words may inspire us but only action creates change.” This year’s adventures changed…

Dear Luigi …

Posted on 2019-12-202019-12-20 by Becky Elliott

“Did you pay him for this, mom?” my 11-year-old asked. He wasn’t asking about the ability to be a podcast guest, but for the sage advice that Luigi doled out. Liberally. Both of my kids became convinced that Luigi Danakos (@nerdblurt) was the new life coach that I recently mentioned. He wasn’t. However, like a…

Posted on 2019-11-302019-12-13 by Becky Elliott

Trips to Anaheim, then Las Vegas, and New York after two days at home; it all sounds pretty amazing and makes for a happy life story on Twitter, right? Here’s the real-life part, at this juncture, the only way that I could have the freedom to attend these events is by giving up $11k/month in…
