12 Step Twitterholic program

March 3, 2010 Humour

Here’s mine for Twitterholics and on-premise application users with the help of Salesforce.com, its CEO Marc Benioff and Chatter. We admitted we were powerless over Twitter and on-premise software—that our data centres had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a Power greater [...]

Sage Developers: we suck…official.

February 25, 2010 Humour

According to the Sage Developers’ blog: Our recommended approach for deployment of new or customised Workspaces to a customer site is to create an Add-On (SDBX) package for it.
