Enterprise Technology Thought Leadership in a FTSE 100
I had a really brilliant week away! Louisa and I stayed at the Hotel Aurora on beautiful Lake Como in Northern Italy. Now I have to say that this place has to be one of the prettiest places on earth, yes seriously and we can’t wait to go again next year. Go again? Why? Well this has got to be one of the best places to water-ski and wake-board which my wife and I are nuts about. The setting is stunning but more importantly the water is clean, flat and warm, which as you can imagine is very important. ......
Go away for the week and the world goes mad! So the Windows operating system previously called ‘Longhorn’ has gone thought the marketing mincer at Microsoft and is now called Windows Vista . Hmmm, I’m not sure about this name at all, it doesn’t make me feel all excited or inspired and get my imaginative juices going. Even the picture on the official website is an ugly cityscape. When you hear the word ‘Vista’ what images does that bring up? Mountain ranges? Rolling ......

Right, we all 'get-it' that we should be moving to using web service and SOA (well you could've got the hint by now if you've been reading this blog for any length of time), but taking the first step is difficult, so where do you start? All the SOA articles on ‘how-to start’ advise that you should begin with the contact … and I’m not disagreeing. Thinktecture are developing a great new free utility for .Net that will allow you to do just that and can be found here. Enjoy ......

Yep, it didn't take long! A Team System Fan Site at the aptly named http://teamsystemrocks.com Now, I get Team System, but for my mind I still have to use it a bit more before I decide whether it rocks or not. I'll keep you posted! Oh but I so do Love the idea! ......
My old mate Dave Caddick has written about something that is a pain in the neck for everyone in I.T. How do you make the log-in first thing in the morning quicker? Email this article on to your techie guys … revolutionary stuff Dave ......

Recently, I have suffered from GeekBlock.
Fortunately, I found an answer here.
John Grove, a friend of mine, has started blogging here at Geeks. John is going to cover subjects relating to some serious server room toys. Now I believe John has a niche area here, I can't actually find all that many blogs or even websites that cover his subject area in all that greater depth. So, John I would like to recommend that you put together a range of tutorial posts for us newbies. What's a SAN? ......
In this post we will introduce the concept of SOA anti-patterns. Like any architecture there is a right and a wrong way to do it. SOA is no exception. Silo ServicesService Orientation is more than just a distributed technology it is a decentralised technology. Enterprises are complex and in terms of IT are not often controllable from a central point, much less through a single technical architecture. As such the tendency for business units to develop services in line with local demands should be ......
My message is short, but clear. Britain's will wake up tomorrow and continue their lives as before. Yes some schools will be closed and the tube will be shut, but we will find a way and we will continue. We will not be bullied or terrorised. Africa and Climate change will still be on top of the agenda at G8. Terriorism will not. Our message is clear ... terrorists you will NOT win. Violence has won you nothing. ......
