| Only a couple short weeks until the 2008 System x and BladeCenter Technical Conference in San Diego, California from 28 Jul 2008 to 01 Aug 2008. Most of the details are posted and it looks like it's going to be great as usual. I'm enrolled, are you? This is the customer, partner, and IBM technical event of the year. Don't miss this once a year chance to get educated on IBM Modular Systems and to see what the future holds. Besides, it's in a great place. |
| History - History of changes | |
|---|---|
| 2008-07-08 | You might be wondering what's been going on since I haven't done many updates lately. First, nobody has submitted any new or broken links. Submittem if you findem. I've also been distracted. I'm nearly through relocating from Michigan to Atlanta for my job. Needless to say since I started this process in February it's been a lot of work so there hasn't been time for this project. I should be settled into my new house shortly after the technical conference. I've got some significant upgrades nearly complete (since Feb) but haven't published them yet but I'll get it. While I'm at it I'll fix any broken links I find. |
| 2008-02-01 | Been doing a fair amount of work on the site over the last month or so even though you might not have seen it until now. Not going to detail. New links were added, the site was restructured a bit although you might not notice, cleaned up css. I've added a new section called Matrix while provides direct links to many system-specific stuff. Currently it has only support site related links, but I may add some additional categories as well. Next step is to update the content including cleanup broken links and add a bunch of new links I've found. |
