Domino ethical hacking and lotusbeers (again)
Wed, May 16th 2012 3:40p Paul Mooney Next week (Thursday 24th May), I will be in London to present the first Domino Ethical Hacking/countermeasures workshop (spaces still available). On the same day, the Business Gets Social IBM event is also on in London. So, there should be a good few people around for Lotusbeers that evening. As ever I will defer to the locals (and Bill) for a venue so watch my tweets.

Canon MX870 woes with Mac
Fri, Oct 7th 2011 7:40a Paul Mooney Although it is big, I do like my MX870 printer/scanner. But recently I experienced numerous communication errors when trying to print over the network. Re-setup did not help and actually finding the scanner from my Mac was a headache. A bit of cursing and googling gave me the answer (credit to the solution provider here).
With the latest driver updates, there is no listing of the mx870 in NetworkDevice.plist file.

Tue, Sep 27th 2011 3:10p Paul Mooney For those thinking I am going to talk about this (and how it looks remarkably similar to this), you are about to be sorely disappointed.
Over 2 1/2 years ago I started riding a motorbike. It was on my todo list for a long time, and after moving to Belfast I bit the bullet and started lessons. After the basic lessons, a CBT exam, manoeuvres test and on-road test were passed I purchased my CBF600. Since then I have put over 14k miles on the bike involving a lot of short runs and a few long [read] Keywords:

Admincamp 2011 and the voyage home
Wed, Sep 21st 2011 2:00p Paul Mooney And the conference has ended for another year. Once again, Rudi and the team put together a purely technical, zero bullshit conference with meat on it’s bones. As ever, it is a pleasure to present at this. The delegates are smart, and fast, but also great fun. I presented on Mobile technologies, DAOS and a shortened version of Adminblast with Bill.

Corners
Mon, Sep 19th 2011 2:20p Paul Mooney En route to Admincamp for the week, both Bill and I decided that the sensible approach of flying over the Gelsenkirchen just would not do. So we decided to meet up and do something silly. Enter the “advanced cornering course” from pro-scot.
I left Belfast at 5am, and drove through horrible rain to Larne for the ferry to Scotland. Berthing at Troon, I drove to Kirkaldy to meet Bill. From there, the “five-hour” course started. This was the route taken (click on [read] Keywords: google

This week. Admincamp in Germany
Mon, Sep 19th 2011 4:00a Paul Mooney Having taken the 2-wheel approach to meet up with Bill Buchan, followed by a tough biking course in Scotland yesterday, we are heading to Edinburgh Airport to fly to Gelsenkirken, Germany for the annual Admincamp event. ”Rudifest” is well known for being a deep dive event, and over Tuesday and Wednesday I will be presenting three times. One of them will be with Bill. God help us all. [read] Keywords: google
Traveler. Support for iOS 5
Mon, Sep 12th 2011 4:20p Paul Mooney Question
Will Lotus Traveler support Apple iOS 5?
Answer
When Apple formally releases iOS version 5, IBM Lotus Notes Traveler will support the same mail, calendar and contact features in iOS 5 that Traveler supports today in iOS 4. New capabilities in iOS 5 (e.g. folder management enhancements and reminders) may not be supported by Lotus Notes Traveler when iOS 5 ships, but will be considered for utilization/support in a future release of Traveler.
