ThinPower 2005 - A writeup

[Archived in Entry]

[h0bbel] One of the most memorable moments of the event, was listening to Doug Brown, and his takes on application virtualisations and thin client printing. For some reason I've always envisioned him to be a fairly arrogant guy, but I was clearly proven wrong. As long as you keep feeding him Coca Cola, he's probably one of the most lovable guys ever.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[H0bbel.p0ggel.org] h0bbel: Application Isolation also seems to be a good addon feature, but I'm a bit uncertain as to how much that will be used in the enterprise. According to Citrix, you will no longer have to have "Silo's" in your Farm, but use the isolation method to prevent applications from meddling with each other or to even have to versions of the same application running on the same server. Some enterprises will have a need for this, especially ones who use custom applications that are bound to using one version of some software, but at the same time offer a newer version of the same software to other users. MS Access 97 and MS Access 2005 springs to mind.

[H0bbel.p0ggel.org] h0bbel » 2005 » May: Other than that, the weather was wonderful most of the time. We had one small spell of rain, which was perfectly timed as we were inside an english pub eating at the time. Joan and PM took us to see London's Natural History Museum Dinosaur Exhibit which was a real treat. I wish my son, who as every other 8 year old has a dinosaur obsession, had been able to join us!

[H0bbel.p0ggel.org] h0bbel » Job: VBScript is a nightmare, especially now that I'm getting fairly aquainted with how PHP works. Especially, arrays in vbscript are severely lacking in functionality. That being said, I'm very happy that I managed to hack together a small script that will help deploy the new version of Shipnet at work.

[H0bbel.p0ggel.org] h0bbel » Computing: For some reason I've always envisioned him to be a fairly arrogant guy, but I was clearly proven wrong. As long as you keep feeding him Coca Cola, he's probably one of the most lovable guys ever. That being said, he has some strong views on thin client computing and management. I also believe that he's probably right about this stuff 99% of the time.

[Firasd.org] Planet #WPIRC: If the playing field is levelled by rel="nofollow", then everyone involved will be forced to try all the harder to get their links out there. The blogosphere will be hit all the harder because of the need to maximise the gains. As there’s no more effort in hitting 6 million blogs as there is in hitting 1 million, this really won’t bother the spammers one bit. All it does is shift the problem from the high pagerank blogs we here might have, with rel="nofollow", custom sanitize settings, and mt-blacklist in full effect, all the way over to the less technically adept.
