RealVNC : A Real Nice Remote Windows Viewer

10-Feb-09

This is a great system administration collaboration tool especially for working with offshore: http://www.realvnc.com/ I just got through a training session with a new DB2 DBA in Bangalore using the RealVNC free version. It worked great and was easier to use than Windows Remote Desktop.

International Relocation: In Defense of IBM and Project Match

04-Feb-09

IBM is under fire this week from many for its plan to offer laid off workers in the U.S. assistance in relocating to IBM offices in other countries. The program, named “Project Match,” specifically offers relocation help in China, India, Brazil, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Russia, South Africa, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates. I defend Project Match – unless U.S. citizens learn more about becoming global citizens, partly by actually living overseas, we are not going to be able to adapt to the economic challenges ahead. Those who do not adapt, perish.
