Cloning or changing Maximo 7.6 IP in standalone machines
WebSphere 8.5 is the kind of server product where you can just change your IP after installation, but Maximo is not that cooperative.

A Alpha Centauri en 20 años de la mano de millonarios
Acaba de anunciar Stephen Hawkings el proyecto “breakthrough starshot” y ya esta saliendo de los más profundo de Internet el elenco habitual de negacionistas (esta vez de la mano de microsiervos, que ya es pecado) sobre la viabilidad del proyecto.

El E-Commerce en las grandes españolas y su futuro cercano
Is a timely coincidence that the same day I flight for consultancy on WebSphere Commerce to central Europe, El Pais publishes a special report about the limitations of E-Commerce in Spain. I will make an introduction for those who are not related: when the crisis began in 2008, several retailers and large Spanish companies felt […]

When the CIO asks you / Cuando el CIO te pregunta
This (real) story dates some years back… I was lecturing one of those courses – consultancies, that so much have been trending for the last decades, at an international retailer and they had the typical case of an outsourced project, developed by a bad consultancy company that destroyed the code and was not able to […]
