The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,700 times in 2011. If it were a … Continue reading

Note: This is the first in a series of blog entries on Jazz Server performance. Links to additional blog entries appear at the bottom of this blog. I have spent the past couple of weeks doing some interesting investigation into some performance issues and some...

A common complaint by command line users of the IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) Software Configuration Management (SCM) command line is that it’s too complicated to just load some stuff. And they’re right, especially as compared to something like git. To work around this I...
