• IBM moving to electronic support only
  Starting June 2012 customers are "requested" to start opening IBM Serbice Requests (SR) using the electronic support portal and from 2013 only electronic entry will be possible for severity 2, 3 and 4. This is in no way a surprise and makes IBM move ...
• Joda Time comment
  Ulrich Krause has an interesting post (Joda to the rescue) and I just had to comment on as I - probably to no surprise to many - work a lot with dates for the OnTime Suite. Ulrich is using the Joda Time library to compare two dates to see if they are on ...
• Day in the Life presentation with Chris Crummey
  Chris is an excellent presenter and I had the pleasure of seeing him present again at the keynote at BLUG. The video runs 12 minutes and it's an excellent overview of the IBM collaboration solutions.
• Jason Fried: Why work doesn't happen at work
  Excellent TED video on why work doesn't happen at work. "Jason Fried has a radical theory of working: that the office isn't a good place to do it. At TEDxMidwest, he lays out the main problems (call them the M&Ms) and offers three ...
• Go the f*ck home!
  Really loved this Ignite Talk with a very provocative title - Go the f*ck home! (link to video on YouTube) as it confirms something I'm a strong believer in - you do not get more done just because you spend more time at the office. The talk also points ...

• Amazon gives Google a run for its money with CloudSearch
  I'm a big proponent of Amazon Web Services (AWS) so it came as no surprise when Amazon today announced its latest addition to the AWS family - AWS CloudSearch. "Amazon CloudSearch adds search capabilities for your website or application without the ...

• Re: IBM moving to electronic support only
  While I have no problems with electronic submissions, it makes many assumptions about the expertise of the submitter, the availability of the electronic support system, the prior setup of the submitter to be properly provisioned to submit technical ...
• Re: IBM moving to electronic support only
  I guess they can find a better random answer generator than that :)

  Iimagine Watson will be answering the emails.
• Re: IBM moving to electronic support only
  Selling less for more hardly ever is a good thing, at least for the customer. I consider this a bad move but IBM is not alone. Customer service nowadays seems to be a perfect place for saving money. People need customer support when their product does ...

  Mikkel, That is very useful indeed! Thanks for sharing!

  Hi, Thank you very much, it is too useful.
• Re: Go the f*ck home!
  I agree with the overall conclusion, however I am fairly sure that the study could easily be improved. As I read the study it assumes that work hours are consequtive. Many studies over time have shown that the most effective / productive way of working is ...
• Re: Jason Fried: Why work doesn't happen at work
  He gets some good laughs, but Ican't sayI really agree with him....maybe I'm just weird. His take on meetings might work when you're building a web startup, but I can't imagine we'd get a space shuttle in the air without meetings and a common place for ...
