I hope Tom will forgive me one day, but this was to good to leave out.

After moving the MAC to the Intel platform, Apple has really put some substance to the marketing slogan "5 down, 95 to go" referring to its percentage share of the computer business. In U.S.A Apple is now close to a 10% percent market share.

A year ago Apple shipped 6,4 % off all units sold the states. Numbers for Q2 shows that this number now is 8,5 %, an increase of 38%.

In the rest of the world the market share is 3,3 %.

It will be really interesting to see how the OS battle on the desktop will evolve. At least there is no longer just a Windows/Linux battle, you have to put some Apples in the basket as well.

I have been using a small utility for a couple of months now. It does only one thing, but it does it great and it put credit to the 'Keep it simple' phrase.

It has been so long since I last wrote a blog article that I nearly did not find Live Writer. The reasons for this are many, but mostly because I had nothing to write about.

To help all people working in IT and Support to have an easier workday, the following instructions should be sent out to all the users in your organization.

Back in the office after almost a week in Dortmund. As always it was a real pleasure visiting all the Swyxies again. They really make you feel like 'family'. A lot of work is put into future development of SwyxWare, but I am not going to look to the future, it is time to step back into the past.

I am back in Dortmund with a couple of partners that are using these fine sunny days inside the Swyx Training room (I feel so sorry for them ;) )

After yet another week, and with good help of Labour Day, I finished the terrace. For those who care, here is a photo of the result.

I am ready for the summer now...

The World Wide Web has many birthdays. But perhaps the most important Web anniversary of all is 30 April 1993.

Sometimes you just stumble over a piece of software that just makes a little task much easier.

The last week I have been up to something completely non-technical. The summer is around the corner and the house needs a terrace.

Newsflash: Swyx has secret plans for the new training sessions when SwyxWare 7.0 will be released by the end of this year. This video has been found on the desk of the Training Planning Manager (TPM) at Swyx. See you in Dortmund in the end of the year.

While the US economy is sliding into recession and the rest of the world is trying to figure out what is going on, this video explains a lot. BTW, this is not a joke.

Yet another week is history. It is Friday and I want to share with you what I have been up to this week.

It all boils down to your preferences, but Mozart performing on his own piano for classical music lovers or Ridley Scott lecturing about Blade Runner if you are crazy about sci-fi movies, would be moments to take your breath away. On Saturday 12th of April almost 1600 people had such a moment in Oslo.

But my wife would probably say that it would have made me a liar. Anyway, you judge if this is a progress or not.

Have a nice weekend everyone, and easy on the fastfood.

If you are a frequent reader of the forum, you have noticed that from time to time there will be posts about SIP Trunking. We often then ask the poster if the provider is tested by Swyx. This is not just something we say because we can't help...

Since I am working with Hosted SwyxWare I subscribe to a newsletter from Parallells, the developer behind the server virtualization product Virtuozzo. This morning I had a fresh newsletter in my inbox.

Jean Michel Jarre has a video blog on YouTube from the Oxygène Tour. If you like this kind of music, check it out.

To improve the Swyx-experience in my office, a new attraction is taking shape.

Martins blog article, Klaatu Barada Nikto , mentioning the Theremin make me think of a big event happening in Oslo in just one week.

Want to impress a mother and her baby? Here is the German way...

If you read my blog post, Stream me up, Scotty , you already know that we have looked into the possibilities of streaming. Here is the result.

Anyone remember the eighties? Everything was better then, right.

In 1994 the Winter Olympics was arranged in the small town of Lillehammer in Norway. Even smaller, Hamar, got to take part of this as well. The Olympic Arena 'Vikingskipet' was built here. But this is not about sport.
