Well – Blair is off; would have been better if he’d called a snap election to allow people to choose the next PM..
Forcing zman to English
ZENworks Configuration Management is currently in beta – one of the new pieces of the product is the ability to control and configure the client and the server environment wholly from the command line.
By default the command line tool – zman – picks up the server locale. In some cases it is useful to be able to force zman to use a specific language.
Here’s how in beta 3. This may change for the released product.
Edit the file:
%ZENWORKS_HOME%/novell/zenworks/bin/zman.bat (ZENWORKS_HOME is the installation point chosen for the server components)
Modify the line:
“%JAVA_PATH%java” -classpath %MYCP% -Dfile.encoding=%OUTPUT_CODEPAGE% -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC com.novell.zenworks.zman.ZManLoader %*
to be
“%JAVA_PATH%java” -classpath %MYCP% -Dfile.encoding=cp850 -Duser.language=en_us -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC com.novell.zenworks.zman.ZManLoader %*
Note – all on a single line; differences highlighted.
ThinkPad T60p – Vista, AD and drivers
New laptop arrived – ThinkPad T60p, 3GB RAM, dual core processor, dual 100GB SATA drives.
Couple of gripes – there is still no support for 4GB RAM in the ThinkPad – needs a BIOS update and it’s been months.
Second problem is that something in the Lenovo updater causes the whole security and connectivity to blow up when the machine runs Vista and is part of AD.
Novell oneNet ads (satire)
l made sure I flagged this as satire.
This is from November 2000 when Novell was in the middle of the One Net rebranding.
I can’t find the originals on novell.com – here’s one I found on the web:
ZENworks Training
I’m in Provo sitting in on the first round of formal training for the two new products ZENworks Orchestration Server and ZENworks Configuration Management.
The training looks fantastic; right now each track has 2.5 days of deep dive hands on labs.
Still using LinkedIn; still watching who is doing what and making educated guesses.
I wrote a while ago about LinkedIn users intent:
Let’s say that you see a connection who has been somewhat dormant in the past few months suddenly start adding connections like crazy and writing and getting recommendations.
Maybe they got organised and started working on their LinkedIn profile; just as likely is they are fishing around for a new role and want to polish up the profile.
I’ve noticed about a 70-80% correlation on this in the last year; profile gets refreshed and updated; a few months later people move on.
The other sure sign is adding a ‘recruiter’, ‘recruitment consultant’ or ‘candidate placement’ person to your profile. Here’s an example (names obscured to protect the innocent):
I’ve done this myself; I worked closely with a couple of really good recruiters and placement people; nothing came of it; but during the months I worked with them I found them to be exceptional at their role. I linked to them.
