Comment on Lotusphere comes to Brisbane – Eos Case Study! by sub

As a long time Domino developer, I am quite pessimistic about the future of Notes in Brisbane. Not sure if Domino 8.5 will make a difference, it just might be too late.

As a result of the enthusiastic voting in favor of getting Lotus product in the hands of students, I plan to announce a solution for those students interested in getting things done (GTD) with eProductivity. Contact me off-line at my blog for details

I am currently working with a UK university and I know that this university and others in the UK are introducing Lotus tools to the student bodies. I agree with you, the tools that student use today are the tools that business will use in a few years because the students are familiar with them.

I share your enthusiasm. I teach an undergraduate course: MGT430-Technology for Business Decision-making and I always try to discuss Notes, Exchange, SharePoint, etc. It would be great to be able to give my students access to the Lotus programs to experience for themselves.

Comment on Facebook: Too Popular? by Maria Helm

To your unsubscribe, I would also add “RTFM”. Facebook has just enough complexity that people do need to read the rules/instructions to know what’s going on. The #1 and #2 are complaining about something that only happened because they, themselves, failed to RTFM and understand in advance the privacy settings.

#3 you are absolutely spot-on with.

Comment on Demystifying the NBN – Why Australia Needs Broadband Infrastructure… by DreamensioN

I agree, we need an NBN. I’m thankful someone is finally in power who doesn’t have a 1950’s mentality about how Australia should be run. Broadband benefits everyone, and everything. Australia is so far behind the rest of the world already in public IT infrastructure that we are comparable to other 3rd world countries. These are facts. It is true that Australia is larger and more spread out than other countries, making the deployment of infrastructure more expensive and less commercialy viable – however, this is the price of living in such a great country.

FTTP/FTTH is something that should of been in the pipeline 10yrs ago. It’ll enable services we can only dream about currently. Australia can finally join the rest of the world, with broadband services other countries (such as Japan, the US, and most of Europe) now take for granted. And we will finally be free, from the shackles of Telstra.

The NBN cannot happen soon enough.

here here!!!
Australian broadband infrastructure has too long been like a country with corrupt leaders (fiji for example) only benefiting the pockets of the few instead of the needs of the many.

The quality of our hospital systems should have sent alarm bells ringing but alas no, profit over people is what’s ruined it.

Thank god we’re finally getting some infrastructure worthy of the world instead of 3rd world ailing infrastructure we have now (hang on, even in Kenya you can get cheaper/better residential internet plans then Australia).

Education is the key, not propaganda. Thanks for clearing it up!

Comment on Australian Government Nationalises Broadband Rollout by Anon-E-Mouse

It’s a step in the right direction, but it’s too little, too late.
Why are we implementing 100mb connections as other countries are moving on from there
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2900490

100mbit is a stopgap solution based of technology that countries like south Korea have had implemented for over a decade, If we wanted to establish ourselves as a modern technologically innovative country, we should be looking into the multiple gigabit connections that are currently being implemented in test situations arround Europe and Asia.

This project will be phenomenally expensive, profiting mostly telecomms and cabling companies, i’d put money on it going overtime and over budget. If we roll out 100mbit now, there wont be another new broadband rollout for easily a decade, while other countries are already years ahead looking at implementing multiple gigabit connections.

Australia missed the 100mb bandwagon, we didn’t want to spend the billions of $$’s in the 90’s, the technology hasn’t gotten cheaper and is shortly going to be superseded, we should be looking at 1gbit connections or saving our 40+ billion for other causes.

This is just my opinion and i don’t provide any form of empirical evidence to my statements, so feel free to disagree entirely.
