I know…

March 22nd, 2010

…I have been extremely slack updating this blog.  But I am getting back on the bandwagon.  Did you know I have recently changed jobs to take on the exciting, but challenging, role of Unified Communications for HP South Pacific?

So that’s where I have been hiding, getting ramped up for OCS Wave 14 and how HP adds value from a Technology Services and HP Software & Hardware integration stand point.  2010 is going to be a smashing year for everyone involved in Unified Comms, and if you can’t tell I am really EXCITED about it!

Don’t worry, the blog will still stay agnostic, and I won’t just be rabbiting on about HP, I still am a MAC fanboy after all.  I am going to say this though, no iPad for me.  I have an iPhone, why would I want somthing that I need ANOTHER 3G plan for, and it doesn’t even fit in my pocket.  I will let the Tablet/Slate game play out before I dip my toe in the water.  Although I am toying with the idea of getting a HP 2740p http://bit.ly/cWuTZD for work and ucoms demonstrations.  I’d love to use my MacBook at work, but it just doesn’t quite sit right with customers.

Anyway, while I develop more content, be sure to follow me on twitter @mjokeefe13.

My first post…

September 7th, 2009
Hi all, after a long break from blogging, I thought I would give it a go again.  Well this is my first post after migrating most of my hosting services to Google Apps and back to blogger.com. I have been running on Webair’s hosting for a while using WordPress, but I have found that security seems to be lacking across the platform and to be honest, I just can’t be bothered trying to keep up with WordPress updates.

I thought I would use this blog to throw around some crazy ideas, maybe innovate a little bit, and give everyone a chance who ask’s me, ‘what do you do for a living?’, to get some insight into what drives me to work in IT.  Amongst friends and family, I am known as a Geek.  I don’t consider myself a geek, just knowledgable about technology.  I don’t play WoW, or wear t-shirts printed in binary code or code programs for that matter.

So what’s going to be the topics I’ll cover on this blog.  It won’t be your run of the mill Infrastructure diatribe, ‘wow look at the new Vendor box that runs a a great SPEC number and uses half the power’.  I will discuss the IT market in general, the development of services in relation to the industry and how innovation, particularly around cloud and hosted services will affect everyone in IT.  I truly believe that if you cannot innovate and change an enterprise IT market in the next 2 years, you will be left behind. Core to this, is how data centres are used, abstraction of infrastructure hardware from software, and treating virtualisation as a commodity.

If you’re already a bit lost, bare with me, it won’t be so heavy all the time!
