Sofas – one down, one to go
We sold one sofa on craigslist – now it’s time to sell the other.
Novell Cool Blogs – hopefully the final update
We’re in the home straight; final testing for the new Novell Cool Blogs.
I’ve been hitting the test system hard in the last week – making suggestions to the Novell team that are making this happen. There are two main updates – the plan is now to use WordPress for the blog infrastucture; second launch is due ‘next week’.
The internal test system looks really great; all Novell branded and look and feel – but with live blog content. All of your favourite features should be there – comments, trackback, pings – as well as some unique blog posts from Novell’s strongest personalities.
I’ll leave it until announcement time so as not to spoil the surprise – but watch out – this is going to be big!
Special kudos to Mr Jared Nyland from Novell’s web team; he’s been awesome.
Harvey Balls
Ah – a favourite for Powerpointers world over – Harvey balls (or meatballs in Novell parlance) represent the relative impact of various options.
I found a great font with the balls in here – soniacoleman.com – and some great graphics here.
A sidenote: “Harvey balls” are named after their inventor–Harvey Poppel, a partner in the international consulting firm Booz Allen.
Green Card
Our application for permanant residence in the US has been approved; in short our Green Cards are in the post.
It’s taken eight months to process – from first paperwork filing to approval. Sounds like a long time – but this is one of the fastest processed applications I’ve known.
Woo! We’ll be celebrating this evening – this removes a lot of risk.
Novell Community Podcasts
At last – the flood of community content I’ve blogged about for the last month or so is starting to appear.
First out of the gates is Novell OpenAudio – Podcasts for the broad Novell Community.
I’ll not spoil the suprise – but I recorded a series of four podcasts with Erin Quill about a month ago. Watch out for them to show up.
