No sooner had I written about the Novell blogging policy – when I got a comment from ‘SaladDodger’ asking about my use of Creative Commons and how that fitted with my restrictions on reuse.
Hands up. I was caught.
I was mid-site change and re-included the Creative Commons license without clarifying the commercial reuse of my blog posts.
I’ve redone some of the wording – it should be clearer.
In summary – please link to, trackback and quote my posts in your own blogs. If you’re a commercial entity please ping me and let me know you’re doing it. Give me some attribution.

Novell recently updated its internal policy governing how employees use the internet.
One notable change in the policy:
Personal websites, weblogs and other forms of online discussion are encouraged, and Novell respects employeesÂ’ use of them as a medium of selfexpression.
Obviously as a public company Novell requires that no confidential or proprietry information is posted. Novell has an ethics code that all employees are required to agree to (and electronically sign).
I think this is a good thing. Communication is becoming more open – Cool Blogs, Jeff Jaffe’s CTO Blog and Novell Open PR are all great examples.
Your feedback to date has been incredible and much valued. Keep it coming.
What else would you like to see here? Let me know. We do read and publish your comments.

Novell today changed the inernal policy governing how employees use the internet.
One massive change for the good:
Personal websites, weblogs and other forms of online discussion are encouraged, and Novell respects employees’ use of them as a medium of selfexpression.

A good policy.
One interesting part it seems like my small print has been quoted directly in the policy 🙂

I’ve blogged before about the various airports offering ‘free WiFi’ to customers – this is generally a great service.
Chicago O’Hare is rolling out a new wireless service in the public concourses – run by Concourse Communications this is billed as ‘Wifi Zone – A Concourse Network’ – and the all important word ‘BETA’.
I’m in the United terminal; near gate C5 waiting to wait list to an earlier flight to Salt Lake City.
I’ve got ‘good’ signal on my wireless NIC; but the service sucks. It’s slow, unreliable, disconnects – I get better throughput via GPRS on my cellphone.
City of Chicago – while this is beta make sure it’s free! Concourse Communications – fix it – this is truly the worst public WiFi I’ve had to use in a long long time. I can’t believe people pay money for this. I’m certainly asking for a refund.
[As an aside – I’ve not had problems with T-Mobile Hotspots in the United Red Carpet Club lounges]

Some light relief from the ongoing debate on management consoles – a real blast from the past – from the days of SYSCON.
Here is SNIPES. It’s fifteen years old this year.
You can download your own copy of SNIPES from Novell – it’s part of the NetWare Lite 1.1 update. Now doesn’t that make you feel warm, fuzzy and old.. Just download and run the NLSNIPES.EXE binary. 18k of DOS goodness.

I blog a lot. Here, on my family web site, on Novell Cool Blogs.
Grania is also blogging – on the same family website – and also on ‘Bad Mothers Club’. Sounds bad doesn’t it – but it’s a UK centric mums forum site. It’s all good fun.
