The Linux Prodigy

Another video from IBM about Linux.

Actually this new platform is really awesome.

I work with Linux workstations from years now (I am writing this post using UBUNTU running on an IBM Thinkpad laptop) and I can tell you that now this product reached a point of excellence.

I am running UBUNTU 64 bit at home and it is rock solid, faster than light.

I still can't understand how people can like microsoft OS, pay for applications, crack everything they need (yeah you do it!) and have an operating system which does not offer more than a linux OS.

Try and enjoy the cause. It is easy!

IBM Servers consolidation using Linux

A nice video from IBM about servers consolidation over Linux.

I simply love that guy.

Drag Behind....finally a change in this trend from IBM?

Thinking about the trend of IBM products compared to MS and Opensource solutions, I have had always this feeling. IBM is dragging behind the market.

It's now 10 years I am working professionally with IBM products and very ofter I had the feeling to excuse IBM for the lacks of his products. Sometimes they offered excellent backbones but they lacked on the user interfaces or on fancies things.

Now, I think the trend is changing, with Quickr 8.1 and I finally feel like IBM is ahead the competitors, with integrated solutions for corporate users.

I can finally propose to my users community a solution very well integrated with the existing infrastructure, easy to be used, easy to be maintained.

Nice, great job IBM,

IBM, I dedicate this song to you, hoping that it won't happen again in the future.




Placebo - Drag

You're always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I'm drenched to the bone every time
You're the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You're always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You're the monkey I've got on my back
That tells me to shine
You're always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You're always ahead of the rest
When I'm always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you're divine
You're always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

Hi guys

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Maurizio Benedetti and I am from Rome, I am 31 years old and in the last 16 years I love computer programming.

I am a professional Lotus Notes administrator and I intend to share as much information I can about the professional world of IBM Lotus products.
