Around the interwebs: IT Skeptic Awards 2009

January 6th, 2010

it_skeptic_3I’ve mentioned the IT Skeptic blog previously on Westblog, but the Skeptic has given you the perfect excuse to go reacquaint yourself: the very inventive 2009 awards.

Who wins is completely secondary to the energy put into the names for the awards. A few highlights include:

  • The Trump Medal for Most Inappropriate Empire Building
  • The Deng Xiao Peng Memorial Spittoon for Services to Democracy
  • The Marie Antoinette Memorial Cake for Most Patronising Attitude

Head over to http://www.itskeptic.org/it-skeptic-awards-2009 for the full list.

Business Objects tips

December 14th, 2009

One from around the interwebs for you today:

BOtipshttp://www.businessobjectstips.com/tips/

There are a bunch of different tips useful for those navigating around Business Objects. There’s also a blog, which I’ll be adding to the list of other blogs we like.

Personally, whenever I’m confronted with a new technology and I’m trying to get my head around it, there is nothing more valuable than advice from someone else who has been in your position and had to try to figure stuff out. With the best will in the world, vendor user guides, by their very nature, are broad-ranging and general, whereas user generated content can – and generally does – focus on the issues that crop up commonly and deal with them in greater detail.
So the question remains: which of you is going to set up smisuitetips.com?
