More Novell Cool Bloggers

Type

We will soon be welcoming a host more Novell technologists to our Cool Blogs community.

I’ll not steal their thunder; they can and will introduce themselves. We will have Jason Williams representing Open Enterprise Server, Ken Muir and Alex Evans for GroupWise followed by Volker Scheuber giving us the inside track on Novell Identity Manager.

In the run up to Novell BrainShare 2006 we will introduce more Novell insiders from across our business. Stay tuned!

Novell Cool Blogs – first week

Novell Cool Blogs has been officially up and running for less than a week – but it’s working just great.

Slowly but surely Novell technologists from across the company are being introduced to blogging and let loose on the wider blogosphere.

Seems like I’m the only one posting on a daily basis – I’ve got a lot to post though ๐Ÿ™‚ I must work out a way to slow down and spread out the load.

Edinburgh, Delays, Snow

I was due to travel from Edinburgh to London Heathrow this morning on the 6.30am flight – scheduled to arrive at London Heathrow at 8.00am

I heard from the people in the Novell Scotland office and a few others that heavy snow was forecast; I decided to travel down from Scotland early – “Just in case”.

Smart planning. Edinburgh Airport was closed for several hours this morning; flights started leaving at 9.30am. My scheduled flight arrived at London Heathrow at 11.30am – much later than my connecting flight to San Francisco.

Phew! I may have had a hectic Saturday travelling down to London – but at least I made my flight and I’ll be back home tonight.

Stalkers?


Mark Schouls sent me a link to this Tshirt site; I don’t know whether to be worried by this…

Someone in Germany (or maybe Austria/Switzerland) is either surprisingly supportive of the Evil ZEN Scientist concept.. or I have a doppelganger. (I hope it’s not a stalker!)

Reminds me of my good friend Jerry Chadwick – who used to be the engineering manager for Novell Application Launcher. He had ‘NAL groupies’ who would follow him around at BrainShare – even into the restroom. ๐Ÿ™‚

Contemporary Indian Food

Wow – I went out for dinner tonight in Birmingham, England with my sister.

Birmingham is renowned as one of the curry capitals of England; the original home of the Balti.

This evening I chose to visit a recommendation – Lasan in the Jewelery Quarter.

Put simply – the food was superb. Modern, classy Indian, served with style. Very tasty, extremely high quality ingredients – and they cook parathas to order ๐Ÿ™‚

Highly recommended

Novell Cool Blogs – what a week

Novell Cool Blogs finally went live and public this week – we’ve now got half a dozen regular posters – and seemingly hundreds of readers.

The next challenge is keeping up the quality and quantity of posts; we also plan to add other Novell people to the blogosphere – and finally got out and tell the world about the site!

One challenge we have is making the blog ‘less corporate’ – but still remaining a trusted and valuable source of information.
