    I've read a ton of blog postings on IBM Project Vulcan since Lotusphere a few weeks ago... perhaps because of the iterative thinking in the community, or time to reflect, Richard Schwartz's analysis seems to me to be a good read on the project:Five years ago, IBM introduced something with the potential to be quite revolutionary, but they saw that potential could not be realized on its own. They melded activity-centric collaboration into their Connections offering in order to tie a revolutionary concept into a larger framework of social collaboration first and foremost, and only secondarily…

Since its release in 1989 it has always been viewed as a "different" piece of technology, loved by some people and reviled by others. It takes a different approach to information management and collaboration tasks, it looks different from the standard Microsoft offering which many people view as being "authoritatively correct", and it offers capability for being…

That said, like a lot of people, my first reaction on seeing pictures is that it looks a lot more like an oversized iTouch than I was expecting. And I think the reason behind that is that it looks like they enlarged the buttons on the home page and spread them out so that the sense of perspective of the size…

    5 Feb 2010 | 1:08 pm
    Am I dreaming? On his Storagezilla blog, fellow blogger Mark Twomey (EMC) brags about EMC's standard benchmark results, in his post titled [Love Life. Love CIFS.]. Here is my take: A Full 180 degree reversal For the past several years, EMC bloggers have argued, both in comments on this blog, and on their own blogs, that standard benchmarks are useless and should not be used to influence purchase decisions. While we all agree that "your mileage may vary", I find standard benchmarks are useful as part of an overall approach in comparing and selecting which vendors to work with, and…

    Hey everyone, its Tuesday, and that means IBM announcements! Last October, IBM [unveiled their plans to take over the world] of archive solutions, and today, we make good on that threat with the announcement of the [Information Archive (IA) v1.1]. (Insert evil villain laugh here) To avoid overwhelming people with too many features and functions, IBM decided to keep things simple for the first release. Let's take a look: Frames The base frame (2231-IA3) supports a single collection, from as small as 3.6 TB to as large as 72 TB of usable capacity. You can attach one expansion frame (2231-IS3)…

  • Breakthrough in Magentic Data Density Recording

    IBM makes another breakthrough today with an announcement about tape data density. Unlike hard disk drive technologies that are hitting physical limits, IBM is proving that tape technology still has plenty of life in its future. When I first started working for IBM in Tucson, back in 1986, a 3420 tape reel held only 180MB of data, and a 3480 tape cartridge improved this to 200MB of data. Today's enterprise tapes, like 3592 cartridges for the TS1130 drives, or LTO4 cartridges for the IBM TS1040 drives, are half-inch wide, half-mile long, and can store 1 TB or more of data per cartridge,…

This week, IBM announces two sets of ISS Data Security Services: These services can include assessments of your current environment, running workshops to help gather requirements, help design security policies, and even follow through with implementation.

    Things have been quiet as I took nearly a month off(line) over the Christmas and New Year periods. It was well worth getting away from it all. Hong Kong was amazing and vibrant. Bali was beautiful, relaxing, varied, and hot (and a hair cut cost less then £2, which was crazy!); we dived and watched manta rays dancing just in front of us, and explored our first wreck. Singapore is probably one of my favourite cities in the world, based on just the one visit.

    Around this time last year, I was asked to help some colleagues who were contributing to a book by IBM VP Maria Azua about innovation and collaboration in the workplace. In particular I spent some time reviewing a chapter by Laurisa Rodriguez, who I’d been working with for several years and had met up with along with many of the other contributors at the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin a month or so earlier. I was aware that the book was due to be published during 2009 but I’d been so busy with the day job that it had dropped off my radar. Then I noticed a couple of incoming links from…

    When my friend Suzanne Minassian-Livingston described IBM as “like a candy store” at last year’s Web 2.0 Expo conference in Berlin it immediately struck a chord with me; and I’ve reused her slide (based on a Creative Commons-licensed image from a Flickr contributor) many times over the last year. One of the things I’ve learned about the company I work for (particularly as a result of getting involved with social software, networks and communities both internally and externally) is the massive diversity the organisation has and the enormous strength that it…

South Bank is not often used for events at the weekend, and certainly not for events of 200 excited techies, creative types and those wanting to run their own talks on subjects as diverse as Failure, the TV series Lost, CSS design, niche bands you should be listening to, a photography project involving…

    One of the things that we all loved from the Web was that it allowed, over time, the empowerment of us. If you want, you can become an actor; you do not need big means, you do not need PR, you do not need to be a famous star. You just behave the way you are, you just express what you think, you just irradiate out of your brain and heart. So, after the very initial period, we saw the dawn of personal web sites which, then moved to blogs, and then to the myriad of social networking sites. And, in addition, we were finding the possibility to influence (little parts of) the outstanding economy…

    Facebook recently open sourced HipHop for PHP. According to Facebook engineers, the technology has been used to reduce Facebook Web server CPU usage by an average of 50 percent. Reading about HipHop for PHP I was reminded about a post from Redmonk’s Stephen O’Grady titled “When Your Customer is Your Competitor: The Return of Roll Your Own“. Stephen argues that the traditional definition of a “software company” is far too narrow. “Why do you think Facebook would sponsor the Apache Foundation?

I’m a happy Firefox user on my PC and sometimes on my Mac, but browser market dynamics don’t seem to be as advanced on mobile devices as they are on traditional PCs today. Users tend to use the native smartphone browser an order of magnitude more than they use the native browser on a PC, laptop or Netbook. If this trend continues, the leading…

    I'm using a 3G modem for a while now. Works well as long as I'm in Singapore, once leaving it becomes an extortionist tool (30$ per MB is 10x more expensive than SMS and that's a rip off already). So typically I borrow the local modem from my colleagues in the country I visit, leaving me with guilt of depriving them from salvation in boring meetings. Not any more. I just added a Sapido GR1102 mobile hotspot to my toolbox. It's a bit bulky compared to dedicated devices like the Huawei E5 and even doesn't have 3G connectivity. However it has 2 USB ports where you can plug-in your off-the-mill…

  • The WildFire Is Spreading...And It's Hot! Update Your Status Across Multiple Networks From Lotus Notes!

    Chris Blatnick
    12 Jan 2010 | 2:57 pm
    A new OpenNTF project hit the ground running today and it is hot! I installed it this morning and think it's a great piece of work. The project is WildFire, a Lotus Notes 8.5 sidebar application that allows the user to update status messages across a ton of different social platforms. Networks supported in this initial release include Facebook, Twitter, Lotus Sametime, Lotus Connections and many more! While this type of client for allowing simultaneous updates of your micro-conversations is not new, the implementation, interface and integration with the Notes client is top notch. Installation…

  • Folder Name Issue Causing Java UI Rendering Problem In Notes 8 Mail File

    I was working with one of my customers and was told about an interesting problem. They are currently in the process of upgrading to Notes 8.5.1 and so far, most of the client upgrades have been nice and smooth. One user had an unusual issue that was causing a bit of angst. After being upgraded and getting the new mail template, most of his folders were not visible in the UI. Here's what it looked like. Notice anything odd?A quick check using File - Go To confirmed that the folders were indeed still in the database. However, this was the only way the user could navigate to these folders.

  • Changes Ahead For Interface Matters

    Chris Blatnick
    18 Dec 2009 | 5:49 am
    The winds of change are blowing here at Interface Matters and in my opinion are way, way overdue. The only excuse I have is lack of time to devote to these changes (or at least lack of desire to devote the time since other things have been occupying my attention of late). I have been wanting to make some changes here for quite some time, and as the new year rolls around, it's probably as good a time as any to make the leap.First, I want Interface Matters to expand beyond a single voice. This has always been my plan and I have just failed to execute. This site was never designed to be my…

  • On Productivity: My Paper Processing Workflow

    Chris Blatnick
    17 Dec 2009 | 7:44 am
    I've always been a fan of performing tasks as efficiently as possible and eliminating the drudgery of those tasks that don't add a lot of value to my work or personal life. One of those tasks which is a necessary evil is the maintenance of paper-based documents. Everyone has them...bills that need to be paid, bank statements, tax documents, owner's manuals, receipts. As much as possible, many of us have tried to digitize these things so we don't receive them as paper in the first place. I've pretty much successfully eliminated any kind of bill coming to me in the mail and have turned every…

  • Forgive Them...For They Know Not What They Do...With Your App

    If you've been following along with the home game, then you are aware that there are many excellent UI patterns that you can use to improve the user experience you deliver to your users in your applications.  Today, I wanted to explore another simple yet powerful pattern: "Forgiving Formats".  This pattern is perfect for those applications in which speed to data entry is key (or at least desirable in most circumstances).  I know in many of the business applications I have encountered over the years, we tend to develop nice, complex forms to capture all of the data the customer says they…
