As part of RSC2009, we have been encouraged to use Twitter to promote the conference, as well as to report what is happening… So I broke down and got a Twitter account.
You can see the result of my efforts in the new tool I have added in the right column in this blog.
My tweeting tool of choice, at this point, is Tweetie, both on the Mac and on the iPhone.
Hopefully, network connectivity at the conference will be good (i.e., better than last year) so I can do live tweeting!
Rational Software Conference 2009 Tue, 2009.05.12

Once again, the Rational Software Conference is being held at DisneyWorld in Orlando. Except that this year, we have lost the “Developers” (or was it “Development”?)! No matter, same location, new content – and even more content this year with all the Telelogic stuff from their Innovation 2009 conference! Two conferences for the price of one. In case you are wondering, here is the agenda as a Wordle graph (Thanks to the incomparable KellyPuff in her professional personna for this!):
More information on the conference site!
If you go, look me up!
Blogging from iPhone Thu, 2009.01.15
Posted by tevirselrahc in apple, blog, iphone.2 comments
I found myself looking at apps for the iPhone, and I found one that enabled me to post blog entries over the air. Of course, I had to try it out – and this is it!
I don’t know how flexible it is, or whether I need to enter HTML tags for line breaks. And the keyboard, although still usable, is still slower than a real hardware keyboard. Still, a bit painful…and no apparent integration with Safari.
What do you think? Is blogging from a phone, even the mighty iPhone, a useful thing?
IBM knows what to do with Telelogic Mon, 2009.01.12

This SD Times article is a bit old, but yes, we know where we are going with the Telelogic tools. You could say that it has been an interesting process (along the line of the curse)!
Contact your account team if you want to know more as I can’t talk about futures here…

Now this is a good example of an ergonomic keyboard implementing a Domain-Specific Language!
I hope it has not been pirated…
You are not the only one responsible for your mood! Wed, 2009.01.07

It seems that you are not the only ones responsible for your mood! According to this article, you are affected by people up to two degrees of separation!
So be careful of your own mood, lest you affect those around you (and around them!)!
Telelogic acquisition approved by EU Mon, 2008.03.24

I have just been too busy lately and I missed an occasion to blog about this. Well, a few weeks back, the European Commission approved the acquisition of Telelogic AB by IBM (links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and many others…). Now comes the part where IBM needs to convince the shareholders to part with their stock. And then…interesting times!
Airport lounges Mon, 2008.03.24
Posted by tevirselrahc in airport, travel.add a comment
I seem to be spending a lot of time in airports lately. And with a few delays already this year, a lot of that time in lounges (luckily enough).
Right now, I am in the new Maple Leaf lounge at Ottawa Airport.This is the third incarnation of the Maple Leaf lounge I have experienced thus far in this airport. It is located in the new part of the new terminal all the way up on the roof. I don’t know why I keep referring to this being the new terminal, the old one is pretty much gone by now, with the last vestiges being torn down as I write this.
Anyway, being on the roof, it enjoys a nice 270 degrees (around that…) view of the airport with lots of big windows, making it a very bright lounge. This is all nice, until you try to work on a laptop… To top it off, the business area is located on the South side of the lounge, thereby getting most of the light. I am sure the architects thought it was a great idea – and it does make the lounge seem more airy than the previous one – but it makes working a bit more difficult.
Oh well! I guess I’ll just have to relax a bit for a change.
Rules of Thumb Tue, 2008.02.05
Posted by tevirselrahc in link, trivia.2 comments
I already know that part of my thumb is about an inch long, so I can use that as a (somewhat small) ruler – ergo the “rule of thumb”. There are many other such tricks out there that range from the interesting to the truly useful (YMMV) and there is even a web site: RulesofThumb.org where you can peruse these!
If you like trivia like I do, give it a try!
And this being the internet, I am sure I will get comments on the origin of “rule of thumb”…
