New WordPress Theme May 23, 2006
Posted by Phillip in : work, geek , trackbackAs you can probably tell, my blog got a face lift. I am trying out a new theme. So far I like it, we will have to see if my readership boosts to a total of 4 readers or if I will lose the existing two that I have (hi Darrell). It’s worth noting that I originally saw this theme in use by the Evil Zen Scientist and I liked it.
I hope to have final word today or tomorrow as to whether or not I will be visiting Novell, INC. next week. When Martin (aka the Evil Zen Scientist) was visiting with us last week, we toyed around with the idea of me and two of my colleagues hopping up to Provo to visit the Super Lab. In addition to all of the fun Identity Management work I do with Novell software, I am also the person who rolled out ZENworks Linux Management (ZLM for short) for our internal systems. All and all, I am happy with the product. It is very powerful and it fits nicely into our architecture allowing us to manage multipe systems through one interface. This, in turn, cuts down on the overall administrative overhead of server management.
The product is not completely without its flaws though, we have experienced some growing pains and had to work with Product Engineering to some of the issues resolved. In addition to the occasional software defect, I have personally had some training issues. When I first rolled out ZLM it was version 6.6.x, when ZLM 7 was released, we immediately upgraded because of the architecture of the product. As it turns out, from 6.6.x -> 7.x, Novell did a from the ground-up rewrite of the software. This includes changing terminology and the way things work. A challenge for someone who already has a limited amount of time to learn new things.
We will see how the Super Lab visit goes though… expect more on this topic.
