My first Home PHP project, IdeaForecasting, has yet to draw a great deal of interest, but most of the search engines have found it. In fact the Chinese have taken a great interest in the form of BaiDuSpider!

Posted in Economy & Business, IT Issues, Personal on March 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
At the Cork Open Coffee today there was discussion about how the University of Cork could be utilized to solve real world business problems, with a counterpoint that the University also was a resource for IP that was underutilized or not exploited at all.

Posted in IT Issues, RDBMS, Red Hat, Sybase, tagged Linux, RDBMS, Red Hat, Sybase on November 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been installing Sybase 15.0.2 on several systems lately, both Core 2 Duo’s and quad Xeon’s and have been impressed with the ‘normalcy’ of the installations. With the one exception that they have all has a ’segmentation’ failure with the backup server during the initial ’startup’ script this is due to the omission of a [...]

I have monitored all the discussions of DRM with regards to Music and Movies, but until I started installing a Sybase ASE 15.0.1 installation, as a first stage to a Sybase 12.0 upgrade at the company which I work for, that I realized that Sybase must hate it’s own customers. I say this as that’s the only reason [...]

I always find it interesting that I seem to be in the position of supporting the underdog when it comes to computing, I own Apple’s and work with Sybase.

IT Downturn in the offing
Posted in Economy & Business, IT Issues, Personal on August 14, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Between the economy starting to tank, and terrorist threats, I’m guessing that the IT hiring and equipment purchasing will take a large hit. From talking with folks in the U.S. it seems like most people are holding their money close to their wallets, indicating that most business spending will follow this trend. With everyone being [...]
