Less content, sort of...   Some of you may have noticed markedly less content on this page in the past week.   That's because an awful lot of the content has been moved to HKR Systems Web Site.   In addition to carrying my old HP feeds, HKR also carries MY feed, so I make a small attempt to to not duplicate much.  It is recommended that for a full range of HP and HP Openview news, you visit the HKR website.

Forsythe has troubles in the Rock Mountain Region --  Forsythe Solutions group (an executive HP Partner (HOW?!?!!)) has now has lost their last technical consultant in the rocky mountain region, leaving them with a grand total of FOUR consultants!  Two in New York, one in Texas and one in California (I can vouch for these four...they are some GOOD, GOOD consultants -- I used to work with them all).    Either way, a rumor floating around also indicates that the VP of Forsythe in the rocky mountain region has been... "let go".    Unknown if this was friendly or not.

Where's the stories?   An awful lot of the stories that I was publishing in the past are being duplicated on http://www.hkr-systems.com therefore I've withdrawn a lot of what I write here.   However, HKR is carrying both my feed and the moreover HP feed which was the source of a lot of my HP news, so you can still get both!

Ray Randolph is looking for a job?  Apparently, at some point this morning, someone decided to spam my resume to 1000 or so different companies, along with a VERY nicely written letter that I didn't write!  I suspect it may be a certain individual corporate executive from a competing company trying to "do me a favor" (i.e., get rid of me)...
