I did not start the day with a workout. I was actually very tired and you have to keep your strength up if you are to hang on during a session with Mat Newman. So I slept as long as I could and headed off to the conference hotel. #UserBLAST 2016 Mat Newman is a…

Connect 2016 Day 3: Future of Domino, Connections and Hogsmeade
Woke up half past five in the morning. My internal clock is still not up to snuff. The humidity outside was unbelievable and there was so much fog that I opted for a 4 x 4 interval run on the thread mill instead of running around the lake. After hitting the shower and taking in…
Connect 2016 Day 2: The next Generation
The calendar says it’s winter here in Orlando, but for us this is pure summer. It’s quite simply heavenly here right now, and I’ll never get used to being cold inside, and when I go outside I have to take off my jacket. I started this day with a short run before I did several…
Connect 2016 Day 1: Jump starts and steak
Started the day with 10 km run around the lake where we live, in what in Norway would be called a cloudy but very warm and humid summer day. Even though the general opening of the conference always happens on Mondays, there are still lots of sessions to go to on Sunday as well. They…
Connect 2016 Day 0: Just Arrived
Call it Lotusphere, call it IBM Connected or call it any other name that IBM has changed it to after dropping the name all old timers refer to the conference as: Lotusphere. No matter what you call it, the official name this year is Connect 2016. Another change is that this year it’s not taking…
Connected 2015 Day 4
I’m a bit behind on blogging on the last day of this year’s conference, but here we go: I started the last day, slightly hung over, by being treated to breakfast by Panagenda. Not because they want me to buy the Marvel Client, but because we over the years have struck up a friendship. And…
Connected 2015 Day 3
Today: Hogne learned splendid new things about content management, libraries and plugins for Office and Explorer. This Tuesday was the perfect example of why it’s so important to go to the conference in Orlando. You get to talk to the right developers and managers to present challenges and errors. And in mine and Gunnar’s case,…
Connected 2015 Day 2
Today: Hogne learns a lot of cool stuff about IBM’s new email solution, about inviting external users into IBM Connections and about Content Management! Opening Since Sunday usually is a pre-day during the conference, the general opening session is always on Monday morning. This year it was severely reduced in scope. Usually they’ve had world…
Connected 2015 Day 1
Today: Hogne, of all people, learns something he didn’t know about the Notes client (and now you will too). It’s early Monday morning in Orlando, and the rain is pouring down outside on the balcony of my hotel room. It hasn’t been summer temperatures, but Sunday we did have sun. Not that I had much…
Connected2015 Day 0
I’m writing this on this Saturday morning (January 24th) at Oslo Gardermoen airport. Gunnar, a colleague of mine, and me are travelling Orlando in Florida, US. We are attending the annual IBM conference, that used to be called Lotusphere. I think IBM has changed the name of the conference every year since it stopped being…
