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.
Reverend Ted moves on
I didn’t want to blog this last week and scoop Ted. Here’s his post in his own words.
I worked with Ted since late 1999 – I was the Product Manager for ZENworks for Desktops; he was the dynamic and mouthy Californian telling people about it. I learned a lot from you Ted.
Adobe open sources Flex
Scoble got the scoop; but this is a very interesting development.
Imagine really slick, interactive, powerful management consoles build on Eclipse and Flex. The same functionality in a thick console and in a web application.
I can see this being looked at really closely by a lot of the management console and UI people in Novell.
Nokia to BlackBerry
I’ve been a Nokia customer for years.
My first phone was a ‘Nokia Orange’ – the old 2140 brick.
Since then I’ve had lots of different Nokia phones; the only exception was a dreadful Motorola for a few months.
I’ve now had to make a choice – and I’m moving to a BlackBerry 8800.
Email on the move. Sad – but an indication of how things are changing.
More strategy meetings
In a room with dozens and dozens of people from across the BU and other teams – working on strategy and changing our development model.
Nice Rack!

Now the servers will have a real home again!
Ouch
Never ignore the cones in the construction zone.
Seen on State Street at about 10000 South in Sandy.
Guess someone has some explaining to do. That thing wasn’t coming out of the 3 foot deep pipe trench.
Yonghegong Lama Temple
I visited the Yonghegong Lama Temple in Beijing yesterday with Laurence.
It is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastries in the world; there is considerable controversy about the political freedom of the Tibetan Buddhists – certainly the monks in the monastry were all goverment approved.
That aside – it was a very tranquil and relaxing end to the day. The road to the monastry was lined with shops selling insense sticks; the smell of sandalwood was incredible.
Two more large panoramas – they are large files so download may be slow. The originals are massive.
