David Geer published an article in the Enterprise Open-Source Journal titled Advantages of Custom-Built, Open Source Enterprise Portals.I think it is an interesting article, but you can not trust me since part of it is based on David’s interview with me.

Following is a joke I heard today. No doubt it’s a variation on a very old theme, but still quite funny, IMHO:\r \r A taxi driver picks up a nun and can’t stop staring at her. “I must tell you something, Sister, but I am afraid to offend you,” he says. \r \r “Go on,...

Paul Gorman has written a small tool ( NanoCount) that I found very nifty. It\’s as simple as it gets: shows a running word count. It also lets you set a goal for number of words,
