Windows Server 8
Wednesday, 2 November 2011 | 
Peter Lindmark
Microsoft has not announced a ship date for Windows Server 8, although roadmap documents released some time ago pegged it for 2012 (earning it the nickname of Windows Server 2012). A developer's preview of Windows Server 8, including Hyper-V, was made available during Microsoft's BUILD conference in Anaheim, Calif., in September.
Much more than a minor upgrade, Windows Server 8 brings many new features and functionality. The software is currently a Developer Preview release. This means Windows Server 8 isn't even available for beta testing yet.

Tags: My first contribution to Drupal.org
Tuesday, 1 November 2011 | Peter Lindmark
I made my first contribution to Drupal.org.
It concerns redirections of login. Login destination is a useful module for redirecting users after they logged in. You can redirect depending on roles, but I needed rules depending on which node the visitor was entering from.

What is Drupal - presentation
Sunday, 30 October 2011 | Peter Lindmark
Last week I made a presentation "What is Drupal?" to a group of Sharepoint developers. It was quite interesting to see how they reacted and the discussion was intense!
I have added the presentation here, save from a few slides I had to delete due to the contents that would reveal the back-end set-up of the client. Download it or read it directly here at the bottom!
Ubuntu 11.10 released
Friday, 14 October 2011 | Peter Lindmark
Ubuntu Linux (a GNU/Linux-based computer operating system) version 11.10 has been released and available for download. The new release includes some enhancements to make your experience even more enjoyable. The Default user interface is set to unity shell on top of GNOME 3.x. However, you will get a 2D version of Unity as a fallback for systems that lack the hardware resources for the 3D version. The good news is you will be able to install the entire GNOME 3 desktop along with GNOME Shell directly from the Ubuntu repos.
Six recruitment trends Autumn 2011 - not a full stop but increasing uncertainty among recruiting clients
Sunday, 2 October 2011 | Peter Lindmark
1) Specialists need to specialise more, they need deeper knowledge within their field. Meanwhile, managers need a broader knowledge base, they need to know more about more.
2) Recruiters need to dig deeper into the candidate's knowledge and ascertain that the candidate has values corresponding to the client.
3) Many enterprises in-source their recruitment needs, i.e. hires a human resources manager that conducts all HR functions internally.

Google+ opens social network to everyone
Tuesday, 20 September 2011 | Peter Lindmark
Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president of social business: "We think there's lots of room for innovation"
Google+ is being opened up for anyone to join after two-and-a-half months in closed testing.
The search firm's latest foray into social networking was initially offered to journalists and people working in technology related fields.
