Active Roles Server, FIM 2010
FIM 2010 and TEC2010
After reading Gil Kirkpatricks analysis of FIM 2010 and what the TEC2010 community what the community want Microsoft to do with the platform, (http://www.theexpertscommunity.com/item/view/id/4410) really interesting to see that customers really just want Microsoft to finish the basics of the platform. Many customers and partners I talk to now are contemplating FIM 2010 or have…

‘The nightmare that was’… configuring a Dell Latitude E6500 as a Wifi Access point
Recently as my previous post mentioned, I purchased a non 3G Apple iPad, the WiFi part is sufficient for almost all events I am involved with. This time though I was to be staying in a Marriot Hotel in KL, Malaysia where the Wifi access did not cover all the rooms and all I had…

I’m sitting here at 31,000 feet above Australia writing this blog entry on my new Apple iPad and realising what an evolutionary device it is. The iPod touch was a half way point, not suitable for serious use but great for testing the waters of what can be done with the touch screen format with…

Systems administrators and Solutions Architechs
How many people have inflated their role within a company? I’m sure many of you have. I have called myself different titles with ‘Senior’ being the most common, Why? Nowdays I don’t know – what was the impact of the title change? no one came to me with enhanced expectations because now I was a…

Microsoft Web platform Installer
I happened upon the Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0 Beta today: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx and am very impressed by what I found. Recently I started looking into Ubuntu as a web server for delivering a website I wish to develop, the website would contain forums and wikis etc and Linux seems the ideal platform for web dev…

Apple Mac mini breakdown
Just found an interesting breakdown of the Apple Mac mini pricing based on the components included: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/Apples-600-Mac-Mini-Costs-It-Nearly-400-to-Make-Says-iSuppli-163404/?kc=rss This gives me some belief in Apple as a company, we all know companies are there to make money for shareholders, the fact that an external company can provide information to indicate that Apple’s pricing is fair based…

Cloud computing to fly?
Cloud computing simply becomes another way to fragment and further complicate an already complicated IT infrastructure unless it is done properly and the organisation moving to hosted infrastructure understands exactly what they will receive. I see Cloud computing being excellent for the SME market where their internal IT resources may not be experts on subjects…

Microsoft Bing vs Google
Microsoft Bing was released recently to limited fanfare, some tech sites raved about the quality of results while others had a more of a ‘We’ll see’ attitude. Interesting is that Google appears to be very worried about Bing, not ‘just’ standard worried but really very concerned http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/42847/140/ and I understand why; http://blindsearch.fejus.com/ runs comparative searches…

Sort your product out Microsoft?
Finished reading an article on Microsoft and their new free virus scanning software, which is about to come out of beta and realised its just another case of a behemoth company that has no idea of marketing and brand. Link is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8095932.stm and in this article Microsoft are talking about the discontinuation of Live…
