Seems like everyone is getting snow but us! As some of you know, I’m a winter fan and I love snow. I’ve only been on two snowmobile trips this year and right now is usually prime season. Our current snow conditions are appalling. Read more »
Michael PattersonMost of my blogs are related to NetFlow or sFlow. This weekend I’m taking a break from network traffic monitoring. My father in law, some friends and I took off snowmobiling up in Sherman, Maine.
I have so many trade show shirts that I end up wearing them on events like this from time to time. I couldn’t resist this picture below. Funny thing is, I’ve had people approach me in restaurants when they see my t-shirts for Cisco, Nortel, etc. Read more »

Hi there guys! Its Thursday afternoon and the snow is beginning to fall here in New England. I’ve heard talk about 1-2 ft worth of snow, but you know those weathermen…
But before we close shop here for the holiday weekend, I wanted to be sure and announce the release of a small patch that provides a few small fixes that we wanted to squeak in before the next big release.
To find the latest update for your favorite NetFlow traffic analysis tool, just clicky clicky on the link below:
And we at Plixer all hope you have safe and restful New Years!

After a lot of work, we have support in Scrutinizer v7.3 with Flow Analytics for NBAR with Flexible NetFlow. My contact at Cisco Jean-Charles <below> gave us some help. I wish we had him as a resident Cisco NBAR and NetFlow expert. Read more »
Michael PattersonI was on a call this week with a customer who was asking me about my blogs and wondering if I ever get away from NetFlow. heh heh. All work and no play make for a dull Product Manager. Of course I occasionally get out of my office ‘cubical’. Read more »
Michael PattersonHappy Friday everyone!
It’s been a really busy week here at the office since the buzz is out on our Scrutinizer v7 NetFlow/sFlow traffic analyzer. Overall the launch has been a great success and everyone really likes the changes that we’ve made.
But nothing is more fun that announcing that a cool product just got cooler…
With that being said, we are happy to announce that we have officially released Scrutinizer v7.0.1!
With a few updates, optimizations and tweaks, we’ve made v7 that much better and the best release to date.
So if you haven’t already, head on over to the Plixer website and grab your v7.0.1 update.

Despite a rainy start to summer it has finished up quite nicely here in Southern Maine. Last weekend my friend Mark and his family joined mine and we headed off to Kennebunk Beach.
Hurricane Bill had caused the biggest waves we’ve seen this season and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to get out there and see if I could ice some of the awesome swells rolling into Kennebunk Beach. Read more »
Michael PattersonIt’s Friday and I’m still working on my first cup of coffee, so I’m gonna go “easy mode” today and just post something not NetFlow related that I found rather humorous online.
It’s no secret in business that if you want people to endorse your product/cause, throwing a little money their way can go a long way. Bribery is not a new concept.
However, every once in awhile you have people who try to play both sides of the fence. It’s risky, but profitable I’m sure…
So sit back and enjoy some Yahoo! goodness.
Now for something completely different . . . . .
I don’t know why but I got it in my head to reuse the Kcups in our office coffee machine. Don’t get me wrong the Keurig, single cup coffee maker is awesome. I have one at home, but I could never get over throwing the little cups away. Seemed a waste.
At home, I have the reusable containers. This eliminates the need to use the prepackaged Kcups. After a quick Google search I found these little plastic lids that cover the Kcup, allowing you to reuse it. I figured that I could replicate that here in the office.
