This is because I wonder who else has this problem.
Or maybe I just downloaded a bad copy but I have 3 different sized files for the primary IBM Connections 4.0 installer.
The first I know is the beta code.
The 2nd I know is hot off the press so to speak as it was just downloaded last week.
What is this one? Anyone have this size file, windows server version? Was it some beta code? I thought it was the GA code I downloaded the day it came out.
Why should you care? Why do I care?
Because I have now built at least 3 installations that all had various stages of issues, see below, which IBM PMR teams say came from my installing "older code" which indeed when I looked at it with them, the dates are off, these came from this middle one.
Rather than have others suffer from what may have been a rogue download, please someone tell me what this middle code is/was which says it is 4.0.0.
You may have issues like:
Index never completes, just runs and thus no searching
Communities have widget issues
Status updates do not always update
Files upload, then stop at some point and show an error when you try to upload any to a newly created Community.
I changed the IBM Logo to ours yet in never showed up yet same instructions work fine on a "clean" box.
Home/Start page does not show any updates.
You can only click on Communities I am invited to, the other 3 options error out.
So the moral of the story is if you are not seeing what you expect, you may want to verify all your versions of code work properly.

What if Darth Vader won?
Sat, May 4th 2013 9:00p Keith Brooks May the Fourth Be with You!
Ever wonder what it would be like if Darth Vader won?
Could Darth Vader have won instead of the Rebels? Could it be that a strong network of Sith Lords could control the masses through social media efforts using The Force? These may be strong words, young Padawan.
There is an amusing Twitter account I follow called @DeathStarPR that brings my point forward. What if social media was used as an insidious effort to gain the upper hand against the Rebels? W [read] Keywords: connections

Day 2 of Impact 2013
Wed, May 1st 2013 10:40a Keith Brooks So what did I do on Day 2 of Impact? Today was The World in Motion.
Business calls most of the morning, bad wifi upstairs, bad wifi in OGS and the exhibit hall. A frustrating problem because if you needed 30,000 IP addresses or so, what would you do?
Duh, grab a Z series! Okay not exactly but it is a problem which should have been addressed Sunday.
Which brings me to what I did Tuesday, meetings, interviews, an ignite speech and a session I did with 3 other IBM Champions and a night cap [read] Keywords: ibm

Opening Day...of Impact 2013
Tue, Apr 30th 2013 11:40a Keith Brooks Today started out like every other day, you know phone ringing at 5am and 6 and 7. Went to meet frineds for breakfast and then went over to the OGS where Champions had prime real estate. 4th row center.
Today was Business in Motion day.
Opening was a drum set and horn section that were quite good and then the star attraction a white Ford took the stage and proceeded to talk to us all.
Just kidding, the car said nothing, didn't even start, but Robert Leblanc came out along with a Ford exe [read] Keywords: ibm

My First Impact Conference
Mon, Apr 29th 2013 11:00a Keith Brooks As a long time
Lotusphere person, I am reminded of Bruce Springsteen after he played, and
won, the Academy Award in 1994 for his
song the Streets of Philadelphia and said this "And thank you all for inviting
me to your party."
I came out to
Impact not sure what to expect. At times Websphere is my friend and at times a
hard companion, but I found a great community of people here so far that rival
my friends in the Lotus/ICS world.

Impact 2013 held in Las Vegas at the Vene [read] Keywords: ibm

Blogging Time: Why it Matters
Thu, Apr 25th 2013 1:20p Keith Brooks My latest post over at the Social Business Insights Blog has been published.
What is it that makes people read one of my blog posts? I write two
primary blogs and guest write on at least three others, but then people
say to me, “You have way too much time on your hands”—presumably because
they feel I am just sitting here writing these blog posts for eight
hours a day.
Sorry to disappoint you all but I only spend seven hours a day writing them. Kidding, just kidding. For mor [read] Keywords: connections

Going to Impact2013? Here's My Schedule
Thu, Apr 25th 2013 9:50a Keith Brooks This will be my first time attending Impact2013 and I look forward to finding out all the great things that I have taken for granted at Lotusphere and Connect over the years and now see how it all translates to my Impact2013 experience.
There is so many sessions, but there are also so many more pieces of the puzzle at this conference. I think the app showed over 900 sessions. This page will get edited up until Sunday evening with any updates.
I will most likely be in the Social Playground [read] Keywords: ibm
