Next week I will be recording a slot for Novell Open Audio on ZENworks 7 Support Pack 1. That’s due for release in the very near future – and I’ll be talking about some of the new platforms we will support and a new feature that we’ll be rolling into the release.
I’ll also take the chance to answer any questions that you post on this blog – so here’s your chance.
Post your ZENworks related questions here – and I’ll select the best ones to answer on Open Audio next week. If you leave your name I’ll even give you a mention.
Looking forward to those questions. Remember – anything goes

I’ve been travelling to Utah to work for about nine years now – first with Intel then with Novell; I’ve lived and worked in the state for nearly four years.
When I first visited one of my colleagues from the LANDesk team – a returned LDS missionary and LDS Bishop – told me that missionaries always wave if you sound your horn and wave when you drive past them.
That started a silly game. “Honking at Missionaries”. Don’t blame me. Blame a Bishop from Pleasant Grove, UT.
In the past nine years I’ve had fun honking at missionaries in Nottingham, London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester in the UK. Also in Auckland, New Zealand, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia – and in many places across the US.
Most fun is the high concentration in Utah itself. I always honk and wave; I’ve got a 100% hit rate on the return wave.
I’d be really interested to hear from any return-missionaries – is this part of the training at the MTC? Or are missionaries just ‘nice people’…
Disclaimer: I’m not LDS and this really was started by an LDS Bishop..

Utah is not exactly a hotbed of coffee drinkers and coffee lovers.. In fact with the LDS faith being predominant most coffee produced is downright dreadful.
A couple of exceptions – Coffee Garden at 9th and 9th in Salt Lake is consistently good; as is Juice n Java in Provo.
Starbucks is a reliable standard too; when we moved here four years ago there were three stores. Now there are dozens. We stopped by our newest local store tonight – on Highland Drive at about 7800 South.

Finally pulled my finger out and went to sit the ISEB ITIL Foundation Certificate exam.
Usual laziness – book the exam, read the book, sit the exam. 40 multiple choice questions; over in less than 10 minutes. I passed.
