Back from travelling – I’m taking a few more days off to decompress.
Working on a website for Grania – I’ve decided to use Drupal again. I’m a bit rusty (it’s been 18 months since I touched Drupal 4.7) and I’ve been exposed to too much WordPress. I need to get my head around Drupal templates again rather than WordPress themes.
Also looking at migrating the production webserver from Apache to lighttp – I’ve been testing lighttp for a while and it is incredible.
It’s a feature. Working as designed. Closed as invalid.
It’s been a busy few months.
I’m taking some time off for a while to get back to normal.
No more logging bugs, testing fixes, writing docs, building demos, working in the superlab, answering questions, defending the decisions of others …
I’ll be back online in a week or so.
I’m building demos – and I’m using a pre-release (very restricted) version of the ENGL ZToolkit version 5.
It not only supports Vista – but also ZENworks Configuration Management.
I’ll get round to doing some screencams later.
Phew. Finally we shipped ZENworks Configuration Management.
An incredible team effort by the Novell engineering and QA teams – a complete rewrite and integration job from the ground up in just over 18 months. There have been some fantastic individual and team contributions – both early on and in the final few weeks.
It’s been the sole focus of my life for the past six-nine months – it feels like a massive weight has lifted from me.
The last few weeks have been pretty intense – I’ve spend time in the Novell Superlab overnight, testing the product; more time in the Superlab running more tests and competitive tests; endless hours logging bugs, getting fixes and verifying that everything is resolved.
I’ve logged way over 200 bugs against the product in the last nine months (that’s a lot for Product Management) and about twenty showstoppers.
I know the product is a lot better, more customer ready and more ready to be deployed because of this.
I’ve got a backlog of posts that I’m going to start posting.
