A new end user computing podcast, FrontLine Chatter.

FrontLine-Chatter-LogoJarian and I talk daily on twitter with a host of friends and community members about the weekly movers and shakers. There’s long been talk about an End User Computing podcast and over a few beers we finally decided we’d give it a go.

FrontLine Chatter is a podcast every fortnight focusing on EUC industry news. Each episode will be roughly 30 minutes long and we’ll invite a member of panel from the EUC community to tell their story or talk about a technology of their choice.

Our first episode is now live with the wonderfully colorful and interesting Rory Monaghan, talking all about application compatibility, Unidesk, VMware’s appvolumes acquisition and the other hidden gems Rory has been testing.

So what are you waiting for! Head over now and catch our first podcast.

Our next podcast (2 weeks from now) will be with industry hero Kees Baggerman, talking about moving from being a senior End User Computing consultant to working for Nutanix, His first 3 months with Nutanix, his view of the industry and some talk about User Environment Virtualisation (UEV). So drop back soon!

Update to Caffeine for Receiver

Caffine 2Just a quick note to say I’ve finally updated Caffeine for Receiver to support receiver 4.2.

I had neglected to update this tool for a while, until I actually needed it and the remote screen saver annoyed the hell out of me. necessity is the mother of product maintenance it seems!

Anyway, I digress, check the original blog post here for the downloads and configuration options.

In other news, if you’re familiar with ThreadLocker, watch this space, it’s about to get a serious overhaul!

PS: stop asking me for a mac client, it’s not possible as there is no ICA SDK / API for mac.
