Linux move – @home

It was time again, after ~1,5 years of running Win XP my current home PC setup slowed down more and more heading for the re-install doomsday. But this time I decided to go for Linux instead. I’ve tested various distributions over the years and worked with both SLES and RHEL in my professional life. The [...]

Down to Vienna

Yepp, it’s time again for the IBM Transaction and Messaging Technical Conference 2007 this year in Vienna, Austria. Last year we were in Atlanta this year it’s Vienna.

This laptop may be one of the cheapest laptops available right now.

This could be a really nice replacement for Visio if you are tired paying license fees or planning to migrate to an operating system which wouldn’t support Visio, such as Linux. I read about Cumulate Draw at Lifehacker and as usual this “hack” is very useable for me, ok I have to admit that it [...]

It seems that there is still a long way to go before Google Apps can be used by businesses if they ever should? Particularly the data ownership issue, Google in fact owns your documents, mails, spreadsheets, etc. should be a real no-go for commerce use of Google Apps by any business. But anyway I’m still [...]

Which feed reader to prefer?

As a Bloglines user I gave Google Reader a try and tested it now for 2 months. My positive impressions from the first weeks with the Google Reader turned into a slight frustration about the slow performance of Google Reader compared to Bloglines. In the beginning I was fond of the look and feel of [...]
