I am excited about a recent article I wrote that was published in IBMSystemsMag.com because it is part of the bigger picture of getting NEW people involved with our beloved OS and also allows the existing IBM i customer to test out new features.  You can find the “Test Drive IBM i For Free” article [...]

I was excited to see System i Developer recently announce a new effort for e-Learning.  Not that I don’t think networking with other people is valuable – it is VERY valuable – but sometimes it isn’t a reality to travel out of the office for 2 to 4 days.  I have been hoping somebody would [...]

Hope everyone had a great July 4th and raised a cup to our independence.  I had the pleasure of spending time with my family “at the farm” (grandma and grandpa’s house just south of Good Thunder, MN).  I have MANY fond memories of spending time on the farm and the endless adventures that ensued.   [...]

For those that haven’t already heard about the latest cool thing to be doing during lunch on Friday’s I will give you some sound advice – listen to iWeekly – a live radio show put on by RPGWorld.com.  Bob Cozzi is the guy behind it and he invites little ol’ me to participate (thanks Bob).  [...]

Yep, you read that right. I ventured into uncharted territories writing a training course and loved every minute of it – well, most of it anyway. Writing a training course is like writing 60 articles on the same subject in a fraction of the time.
The training course is titled “XML Web Services for [...]

To those that like to sip their morning coffee and listen to talk shows, now is your chance to do all that AND have it be work related (i.e. RPG, DB2, AS400, SQL, etc)!!
Bob Cozzi is putting on a live show every week and has invited me to join in when I can.  Bring your [...]

So far this year I have been a busy bee.  One of the two big announcements I have is that Mantatech has an Audio/Video seminar I did titled “WDSC Tidbits Of Goodies”.  I will share the other big (bigger) announcement hopefully before August 1st.  The seminar contains a large collection of the little and big [...]
