Nah – I just made that up – the Lotus Live in question here is IBM’s offering to compete with GotoMeeting and other online products. I recently spent a morning with IBM and Teamsolutionz ( a Northern Ireland based IBM Business partner ) looking at the virtues of IBM’s cloud based products and specifically the […]
At a meeting the other day – a client for whom I’ve done some virtualisation work asked me to look into a problem that he has had with blackberry handset provisioning with a virtualised BES server. The background is that he has diffculty connecting handsets to the BES for provisioning due to an extremely poor […]
I recently reviewed the Quicktest 500 for Denis at Openxtra. I’m a big fan of test equipment that takes the guesswork and time out of getting definitive results when a problem arises. Over the years Openxtra have provided many of the tools that I use to do testing for a very wide range of clients. […]

Recently while working on a legacy installation that was being virtualised some issues with a proxy server emerged. The one in question was WebMarshal 2006 and the symptom was that out of 20 users one user was continually prompted for their domain username and password. The infrastructure was SBS 2003 with Isa 2004 and the […]
I have been meaning to get a look at the Chrome operating system after the news that it had been released in its current beta form. I saw a reference to a virtual machine image of it here and if you follow that you should be able to download a zip file with a virtual disk […]
