Being known for this, she was sent a link to the Dialectizer,... Ian Mitchell 2005-08-15T08:40:09+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000131.html I stumbled on The fine art of computer programming and it links to Mob Software: The Erotic Life of Code. I found both of these articles fascinating reading - style does count.... Ian Mitchell 2005-08-10T14:41:03+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000130.html As many of you will already know, it's been announced that the TSO End-user-interface (TSO EUI) will be removed in the next release of CICS Transaction Server. We know that many of the current CICPlex/SM users are concerned about switching... Ian Mitchell 2005-08-09T14:43:59+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000129.html "CICS TS and the ESB" is a topic I'm asked about a lot. Firstly, what's the ESB? You can read much more about the official IBM definition and which IBM products embody the concept here. That description leads with "The... Ian Mitchell 2005-07-21T11:42:58+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000127.html Following on from that last entry (I didn't want to cover two topics in one entry, it'd only lead to confusion in any comments you make!) where I mentioned simplicity of Web services in CICS TS v3.1. I had an... Ian Mitchell 2005-07-06T09:07:18+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000126.html I was not at the T&M last week in Orlando, but from what I've heard from some of the Hursley contingent, it seems that the sessions on 3.1 features were very popular - especially Web services. I get the impression... Ian Mitchell 2005-07-06T08:19:03+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000125.html Roland Schiradin has asked a very reasonable question in a comment to my opening entry, namely how does this blog relate to CICS-L? This blog has a very different purpose to CICS-L, indeed blogs are very different to listserv "thingies"... Ian Mitchell 2005-06-30T08:34:02+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000124.html Well, I must say there's a bit more to this blogging lark than I'd imagined. Sorry to those of you who suffered the 'registration required' error - I've now pointed to WebSphere.org as the place to start to register. The... Ian Mitchell 2005-06-30T08:21:35+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000121.html I'd had an idea of starting an 'unofficial' CICS blog a couple of weeks before being asked to participate here - but now it comes down to it, starting off a blog seems quite intimidating! But there, I've done it!... Ian Mitchell 2005-06-17T12:53:55+00:00 http://www.websphere.org/blog/archives/execblog_03/000119.html Hello, you can tell I'm English already can't you? Just for a change I've been talking to retailer customers about the new CICS, (If I have to say CICS TS 3.1 you're probably reading the wrong BLOG) I've been doing...
