SySAM, take 3First things first, I want to wish everyone a belated 'Happy Holidays' and wish everyone a 'Happy New Year'. 2007 was a busy year for me, and as we start off 2008, my gut tells me it's going to be just as busy as last year if not more so.

One thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of SySAM and SPDC (Sybase Product Download Center) questions / issues of late. Read on for some thoughts and pointers. (More...)
Blogging from TechWave .... last day and final thoughts.It's the last day of TechWave ... by now we're all done and all through! I'm outside in the 103 degree heat at a bar by the pool writing this entry while sitting next to several of the Evangelists.

Vegas Bound!Well, it's that time of year again, when I pack up my SPF 100 sunscreen and head to TechWave down in Las Vegas. If you see me waking around, say hello! Now, I'm going to warn you, the rest of this blog post is full of shameless self promotion. (More...)
How to heat up a conference room without even tryingAs I sit here trying to get "caffeinated" after a wonderful July 4th holiday here in the USA, I'm looking across the hall at a pseudo-DR lab that I've built over the last few weeks in a conference room. (More...)
Fun with the HA optionSo I was out at a client site a few weeks ago, doing some SWAT-type work with ASE, Linux, and the HA option. Are any of you using this and do you know how it actually differs from traditional active / passive failover?
Stoked about the RedHat partnershipIt probably goes without saying, but I'm absolutely STOKED about the expanded RedHat partnership that was announced late last week. Read more
Catchin' up a bit.Well, it's been a little while since I checked in (so to speak) so I thought I'd just get caught up on a few things that have been going on over the last, say, month or so since my last posting. (More...)
Virtualization and ASEVirtualization (at the operating system level) seems to be quite the rage today ... more and more customers that I visit are talking about it, but I'm wondering, how many of you are actively using it, or are planning to deploy it on Linux (and run Sybase underneath)? (More...)
