Ibm Hursley

[javadude]

I'm at IBM Hursley for a few days doing a websphere port of our product. There was a nice IS200 in the car park with custom twin exhaust. Is it owned by anyone here?

[JOHNNY-BOY]

What colour was it Java?

[javadude]

black

Member Ukazn has a custom Powerflow quad exhaust system, but as you can see, his car is Blue.

It's the other way round - they're helping us to set-up our product on websphere. There's free coffee though. :)

Spent two days @ IBM in Basingstoke, playing with hugely powerful Netfinity (or whatever they are called now) clusters.

Ended up recommending client bought a cluster of two Netfinity's, each with 8 PIII Xeons @ 850mhz (if I remember correctly).

The disk array was the most impressive thing though, cache was huge!!

we were sat next to this big box for two days, when it suddenly went "WHRRRRRR", as it wrote the cache to disk.

The noise was really loud, and because we weren't expecting it (it had made a beep in two days), we absolutely ***** ourselves!!!

I've been down to IBM Hursley a couple of times to do some testing in their labs on the Netfinity servers, that site is huge.

that site is huge

Yup bigger than a very big thing from mrs biggins big pie shop. :o

We got our product working on Websphere 4.0.4, 5.0, Websphere Express, with multiple web apps deployed under the same web server, had a brief look at DB2 support and had a go at changing our architecture a bit to make a neater install. All that plus 100 mile per day commute. :sleeping:

I left a note with the club url but it rained all day so the owner was probably wondering why someone had tried to make a paper-machier model on his car.

Back to the office tomorrow. :)

All that plus 100 mile per day

Do you get a mileage rate?

I get 40p a mile which is not bad considerring they also give me 500 big ones a month towards my car :D :D :D

Well done!

wrong forums I suppose ( :P ) but I had no joy getting your product to work in Phoenix (Mozilla) using the Sun runtime environment?

never raised it formally, seeing as all of these guys are MS shops - and I probablt shouldn't have my laptop on their networks!!!

i have a problen running applets and flash at the mo with Pheonix.. its ok.. but at times slow... I am only running that because msie is buggy.

We've just been through a similar exercise, porting our product from Oracle, which is the only database we've supported for the last 7 years to DB2, not an easy task!
