INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING IBM DOMINO 9 SOCIAL EDITION ON CENTOS 6 ENTERPRISE LINUX
I written an instructional document on Installing and Configuring IBM Domino 9 Social Edition on CentOS 6 Enterprise Linux and posted it to my downloads area. I hope it helps alleviate some of the fear surrounding the idea of installing on Linux. It is aimed at YellowHeads (having some experience with Domino installations on Windows) who are thinking about stepping into the world of Linux. The document is focused on 64 bit Linux, but calls out differences from 32 bit installations where necessary. Even though it is aimed specifically at CentOS 6, the instructions should work for any RHEL or (with some changes to handle DEB vs. RPM) or Debian-based linux version -although as I understand it the only supported Linux distributions are RHEL 6 and SUSE Linux 11.

INSTALLING TRAVELER ON CENTOS 6 - PART 1
With CentOS 6 being released just a couple of weeks ago, I figured it was a good time to demonstrate installing IBM Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Traveler on this particular flavor of Linux. I would have done it sooner, but I was on holiday and frankly fishing, kayaking, driving awesome cars, and shooting stuff beats computer geekery every single time. This video kicks off the series. In this video I demonstrate the installation of CentOS 6. I'm using a Virtual Machine for the installation. VM Software is Oracle's VirtualBox. I've set it up for a single processor, 20GB HDD, 128MB Video Memory and 3GB RAM.

Flip phones are hip again
Hipsters, rejoice. Next time you ride your fixed-gear bicycle to the the thrift store, where you find a vintage, grease-stained mechanic's shirt that matches your Rollie Fingers mustache and Grizzly Adams beard, there's an edgy, if technologically sub-optimal, way to tell your friends about it. Use a flip phone. In an age of the iPhone 6 Plus and massive Android phablets, flip phones are inexplicably making a comeback.

Is the government spying on you? Find out
Are you concerned that the government is spying on you? A consortium of human rights activists claim a new app called Detekt will alert you if the feds are watching. Detekt works like an antivirus scan. Run it on your computer, and it tells you if the machine has been infected with malware that many government-sponsored hackers are known to use to spy on activists and journalists.

Apple's Mac update fails to fix Wi-Fi problems
Macs are having widespread Wi-Fi connectivity issues, and the latest Apple's solution hasn't fixed the problem. Macintosh owners are reporting that their computers are dropping Wi-Fi connections, failing to join networks or their Internet connections are painfully slow. Apple pushed out an update to Mac OS X Yosemite Monday that said it would "improve Wi-Fi reliability." But Mac users say the update to Mac OS 10.10.1 didn't help.
