According to Shel Israel – Product Managers are one of the best sets of bloggers.
I like this sentiment – I also agree!
Product managers and other people who are passionate and knowledgeable about the details of a product are often better.
A product manager … is mostly loyal to his or her product and accountable to customers. The product manager is often tied to happy customers.
Product managers also speak in a language closer to everyday people.

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 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 🙂 I must work out a way to slow down and spread out the load.

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.

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. 🙂
