Anything that doesn’t fit anywhere else. David Weinberg once wrote a book that “everything is miscellaneous”. This category on my blog proves him right since it contains a vast majority of the posts.
Thanks to tomster.org and google I was able to add the blogroll you now see on the right hand side of my site. Tomster wrote the original hack, but then his site went down, so I had to google it to find a cached version.
Moral of the story: nothing goes away out there.
Sitting around at work today trying to figure out how to work better with Microsoft. A long time ago I said that it’s the aspiration of every software company to either become the next Microsoft or to be acquired by Microsoft. While we’re not exactly in that state, we are trying to figure out how to dance with the elephant. The classic question we’re facing is how to do it without being crushed.
Don’t get me wrong, there are tremendous opportunities to work with Microsoft and do great things. >$6B in R&D is a good thing for software vendors. The trick is to figure out how to keep ahead of that investment and find something that you can make money at that they aren’t going to include in the OS or apps in their next release.
Will we do it? Probably…but if not, expect the resume section of my website to get alot more attention!
This is easy so far…installed well and up and running in about 15 minutes. Only wish was that it integrated with the plone site I have better, but maybe later.
