Welcome to my latest site sticky icon

Welcome to my Web Site. This is the latest reincarnation using the new Drupal 6 PHP based Content Management System.

I started doing my web site in 1996 with standard HTML Editors and eventually used Dreamweaver. Last year then I moved to Joomla, to ease focus on content vs. doing the site.

Next to this site I am also donating time to Wat Bowonnivet Vihara - a famous Tempel in Bangkok. My main mission here is to manage and maintain that Web Site, too. Checkout www.watbowon.org

My real job is actually not Web Master, but I am the Chief Architect of GE Money globally. Prior to this I worked as Country and also Region CTO in the same company. Before GE Money, I was an executive with Accenture.

While I did business and strategy consulting, process and organizational reegineering next o outsourcing and technical delivery, I am very passionate about Open Source.

Kubuntu Ubuntu 8.04 Searches

You may have noticed that I am using google analytics - excellent product and has a plugin for drupal, too - to review and analyze traffice on my site. One of the section I like to look is, how people found my site.

In many cases it has been through searching for Kubuntu Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) since my article about using it for business purposes.

This blog entry address the key word searches I saw hitting my home page in a quick summary:

1.) Set of key words addressing the extended desktop for two monitors
Keywords found on my site: Dell D630 Xrandr, Dual Screen, using multiple monitors, dual monitor, dual monitor KDE4 KDE3 Gnome, 2nd monitor, dual monitors, dual display, multiple monitors

Again my configuration is a Dell Latitude D630 with the Intel Chipset. 1200x800 max screen resolution. At work I have an additional screen from Dell also with a 1200x1024 screen resolution.

Disruptive Computing

This is a new term in management and consulting lingo, I see more and more often. Usually, though not from the traditional technology product vendors. 

Wikiepedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology) says about this: "A disruptive technology or disruptive innovation is a marketing term describing a technological innovation, product, or service that uses a "disruptive" strategy, rather than a "revolutionary" or "sustaining" strategy, to overturn the existing dominant technologies or status quo products in a market." From my point of view though, disruptive also comes with the changing of Information Technology and how we address IT in businesses. Certainly, there are still many organizations, who are very single vendor driven, but you will find everywhere nowadays people who dig deeper and find that we are living in interesting times. Software as a Services - SaaS
