Posted by on May 15, 2010
I had an issue recently where my RSS feeds were not being picked up correctly by the PlanetV12n aggregator, I have never really had any problems in the past but as of a post last week it stopped passing through the article title to the PlanetV12n and thus it’s twitter feed(s). I had not made [...]

Posted by on February 26, 2010
If cast my mind back 2 or 3 years, finding good VMware related information on the web was hard, there were 2 or 3 good technical blogs (RTFM, Scott Lowe, Eric Sloof) and there was 1 book by Ron Oglesby/Mike Laverick but that was pretty much it. Since then things have come along leaps [...]

Cloud Computing Stack – formalised
Posted by on October 15, 2008
Sam Johnston has an interesting article here where he’s attempted to formalise the cloud computing stack into something like the OSI model and has an associated wiki for contributions. I’ve not come across Sam’s blog before before but a quick review shows that Sam has some interesting architectural discussions around cloud computing – check [...]

This is a great blog, from one of the licencing managers at Microsoft – Emma has made a good start on providing easy to understand articles on MS licencing in bite sized chunks.

SpinVox: The Future of Voicemail
Posted by on May 20, 2008
SpinVox is changing the game for busy people.. I don’t know about you but I tend to treat my mobile (USA:cellphone) phone as my personal contact device, in that I use it to manage both my inbound and outbound communications and plug that into my daily work/life workflow. Because I travel about a lot [...]
