  • Corporate network migration issues

    So far so good, my third computer hasn’t been authorized in the meantime, but luckily they have at least set up webmail for the new address. The old mailservers are not reachable anymore and all mail to the old address gets forwarded till June or something. I hope I don’t forget a mailing-list when re-subscribing…

    But I’m not the only one, which is not happy after migration. In an informational mail it’s said that all optional software, which was ordered previously has not been authorized yet.

    I hope, that there are enough MS-Visio copies are available inhouse which can be installed "illegally", so that the planning people can continue work.

  • Sharing mouse and keyboard across different computers

    Synergy looks quite promising when I want to make my two computers communicate more seamlessly. Have to give it a try.

  • Intranet migration progress

    Well, current migration status:

    • developer machines stay untouched
    • current office machines are going to be migrated
    • if no office machine is available it will be added

    This means for me:

    • my Win-development machine gets kicked from the current domain
    • my Linux-development machine stays untouched
    • I get a third computer just for reading email inside the BP domain 🙂

  • Corporate intranet merging

    Hm, they want to migrate all of our desktop machines at work to be inside our mother company’s intranet/domain. What comes along with it is, that all harddisk will be erased to allow only permitted software bundles inside the network.

    It’s getting interesting… seems that there are lots of unanswered questions. For example no one has any clue, how to exchange data between the machines inside and outside the network (development machines have to stay outside). 250MB/person for saving data during the migration is also ridiculous. I’ve got ~16 gigs to backup 😛

    Found something interesting. Seems to be a (almost) lightning-fast and memory-efficient data structure: Judy

  • Giving birth…

    Wohoo, I have started this all new blog and I have no clue, what to put on it.
