The Glue

People who have kept the internet up and running have always had different names for themselves; internetwork engineers, web pros, router jocks, the list goes on and on. But recently, a new term has been coined to describe the hardworking people behind the scenes who keep our essential Internet infrastructure up and running: The Glue. When you think about it, this term makes the most sense, and truly describes what we do in the shadows.

Today, the world expects everything to be on the Internet –not only their music and movies but also essentials like medical records, bank accounts and vital personal data. People want to access all their data at any time, through any media from anywhere. As the Glue, network engineers are responsible for keeping people unfamiliar with technology meshed with the complicated system on which they depend. So good job Pingsta Members, you are the essential, and more importantly, top of the line Glue of the world.

mySolvr is live!

In case you’re wondering why we’ve been so quiet over the past couple of months, it’s because we’ve been working tirelessly to launch mySolvr – Pingsta’s open repository of internetwork intelligence.

As you may know, the lack of an openly available repository of internetwork intelligence that is comprehensive, organized and validated is the key driver for this core Pingsta objective.

Thus, we invite network engineers and enthusiasts alike from all corners of the world to sign up to mySolvr – it’s free and open to all – and start submitting entries today so that the world can benefit from our collective intellectual capital.

See mySolvr FAQ for more information.

Enjoy,
Peter
