Dinner with friends and a night in the band room proved bountiful when it came to trying new wines this week. I tasted this Blackbird Vineyards Arriviste – a Rose that the gals had. They sure liked it. Proved a great start to the dinner for them. We moved on to the Peay Sea Scallop, which I’ve already posted (it’s on my Wines Pinboard ), then this swell finish, the Pahlmeyer 2009 Jayson (a blend), which held up to the steak we shared.

Who makes DB2 for z/OS a great database management system? Well, the IBM DB2 developers, of course. But who else? You , that's who. You, the users of DB2 for z/OS, have provided IBM with a steady stream of enhancement requests since the product was introduced in 1983. There have been various means by which DB2 requirements have been communicated by users to IBM, including an application called FITS.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

A good push on a demo’d 29er Marin this morning. A few highlights: Mt. Tam, where I was headed, from Blithedale Ridge. Tons of folks at West Point Inn today, which is about 2/3rds up Tam. It was the 100th anniversary of the Marin Municipal Water District and there was a band playing. But this shot looks South, away from the Inn, toward Tam. Lastly, the view from near the top, on the way down Eldridge, toward Bon Tempe Lake and the open spaces of Fairfax and beyond.

Reading this CMSWire article this morning, Reimagining the Intranet: Content in Context , I'm reminded of a presentation I made in 2007 on integrating Enterprise 2.0 into your corporate intranet. One of the slides I used was based on some academic research, published in 2001 that looked at the relationship between information and knowledge: I borrowed this concept from the paper, that discussed the idea of: Information spaces; Communications space; Awareness space; and.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

Part of the research I am doing for the book involves trying to get my head around the concept of “Big Data,” given the premise that we are in a fundamental shift to a digitally driven society. Big data, as you all know, is super hot – Facebook derives its value because of all that big data it has on you and me, Google is probably the original consumer-facing big data company (though Amazon might take issue with that), Microsoft is betting the farm on data in the cloud, Splunk
