IBM Connect 2017 #6: A Recap of the Conference
At the bottom of this blog posting I’m linking to all the blogs I’ve written about IBM Connect. It’s now 15 days since I came home from San Francisco, and on Thursday it’s three whole weeks since the conference was over. I’ve been pretty busy with following up on stuff after the conference. Especially on…
IBM Connect 2017 #5: The Social Bit
First of all: A huge apology for my mistake in my third blog posting from Connect 2017. In this I wrote that Domino for iSeries would not be supported in the future. This is not true! I had misunderstood and the blog posting is now corrected. Sorry to IBM and all IBM partners and customers…
IBM Connect 2017 #4: Start Thinking and Get Pinking!
Sorry for being late with following up on the Connect 2017 conference, but the last days in San Francisco just flew by like a whirlwind. And after I got home I was stuck on the couch with flu like symptoms. But now I’m ready to talk to you about the future of IBM Connections, which…
IBM Connect 2017 #3: I’ve Seen The Future of Domino and it is Sapho
I promised a summary of the second part of the Opening General Session. And I will include it here, but this posting is mostly about the future of IBM Notes and Domino.

IBM Connect 2017 #2: Cognitive Cognitive Cognitive

IBM Connect 2017 #1: Moving your Notes Applications to the Cloud
Still in the US, but in a new city, on a new date and with a lot of new things you normally don’t associate with Lotusphere, now known as IBM Connect. The city is San Francisco and the location is Moscone West, a gigantic conference center in downtown San Francisco. As Roxette said: – Don’t…
Using IBM Verse (and Notes) to Keep Track of My Traveling Plans
Don’t let the headline fool you. I also show you how you can do this in Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo and other email and calendar clients as well! I’m a pretty disorganized person who had to force myself to become organized. And I have succeeded pretty well with it, even if I do have a few…

Contributions can come in a variety of forms, and popular contributions include blogging, speaking at…
Jean-Michel Jarre: – I Want to Surprise Myself, As Well As My Audience
This is an English translation of a big interview I did for one of Norway’s largest newspapers, Dagbladet. In addition to translating the interview, I’ve also included all the content I had to cut out of the Norwegian version for space reasons. I’ve also included more photos, which you can click on to see in…
