Found this in an E-mail signature..

My Windows PC crashed again, just after I noticed the following in an E-mail signature.

"They say when you play a Microsoft CD backward you can hear satanic messages...but that's nothing, if you play it forward it will install Windows"

Agree. God I really hate my windows computers ...

Photoshopping again

Video conferencing

This isn't much to write about really, but this is what we did today: Connecting our Polycom equipment via a Proxy (Umoe IKT) to a company in Rio de Janeiro (who use Tandberg). This world gets smaller every day.

LS2010- reservations done

We ended up on Dolphin this time.

Strange really - it seems to be significantly cheaper to spend a week at a conference in Orlando Florida than in most cities in central Europe, even when you live in Europe.

Lotusphere 2010 - here we come

Studying flight schedules to Orlando, wow it's that time of the year again.

It isn't that long since we returned from last year's Lotusphere in Orlando, packed with inspiration and great ideas on how to improve our Lotus systems. We actually started the planning while we still were in the air!

Now, after most of the year has passed, we still have quite a bit of work to do before every Lotus project is completed. Things take time.

What we did manage to do, is to upgrade all servers to ver.8.5, deploy Sametime to all companies, deploy the nice looking onTime Calendar to those organisations who need it, introduce Business Mail as our corporate mail system, and introduce the smart MarvelClient as a tool for keeping the administration costs at a lowest possible level. In addition, we have spent lots and lots of time modernising and restructuring the oldest Lotus organisations in the enterprise. And I'm pleased with the result. Things run smoother, and look better.

The biggest benefit of traveling to Orlando: It's one big mental fuel station. It keeps you inspired, curious, enthusiastic, and loaded with yellow energy for the rest of the year. I guess I'm lucky to have a boss who recognizes this.

Hmm. Looks like Iceland Air have changed their schedules - no Orlando flight on fridays any more. Will probably use Lufthansa instead then.

Gaining momentum - new sandpit for the support staff

We finally have our new testing environment up & running. Two servers and three workstations, all equipped with 8.5 and 8.5.1, are running in their own little VM environment bubble. First task for the test environment will be to host various workshops for the IT support staff, whom until now have complained a bit about a slight lack of Lotus Notes education. This is quite typical I guess, the Lotus specialists having so much (support)work to do, that they don't have time to train others to take care of the easiest tasks.

When our exellent support colleagues are happy, we move on to test a large scale DAOS implementation, ID vaults and other stuff. All these things are planned to enter production mode before Christmas, so I guess we'd better hurry up. And oh yes - we will also start looking at Lotus Symphony this autumn. More about this later.

D'oh - Windows killed my Domino server

Yeah right. Five points go to Microsoft for excellent care.
