IT gets drafted to babysit the blogs I don’t have time to read Weblogs. There, I said it. I’m not saying the blogosphere’s emperor has no clothes. I’m just trying to be realistic about how much time I can spend in life reading other people’s musings. JBoss to open systems management JBoss Inc. is opening up its Operations Network (ON) agent technology to developers in a bid to drive standards in open-source systems management, the middleware vendor is due to announce Tuesday. June 13, 5:07 a.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Mark Goodge Mark Goodge, CTO of the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) understands the importance of technology. He’d better: As a health care enclave for all four branches of the U.S. armed forces, NNMC spans 5,000 network users across 5,000 miles in five states. But technology isn’t the only issue on his mind, or even the foremost one.  June 5, 3:00 a.m. PDT InfoWorld CTO 25: Russell Daniels As CTO and vice president of HP’s software business, Russell Daniels has a service-oriented perspective normally associated with applications -- rather than, say, his flagship OpenView product. June 5, 3:00 a.m. PDT Send us your hacks Do you have a hack you’re particularly proud of? (And by hack I mean an ingenious fix-it job that may not follow established procedures but gets the task done.) I ask because this week’s cover story, “Heroic Hacks and Inspired Work-arounds” (page 26), relates six seat-of-the-pants hacks that saved the day when a company was in a pickle. These enterprising enterprise rescues, from the case files of three InfoWorld contributing editors, are all variations on a theme — how to solve a problem using smarts, a certain twisted logic, and the tools at hand. May 29, 3:00 a.m. PDT Datacenter power crunch If you watch the nightly news, it’s hard to miss the relentless coverage about rising energy prices and the “pain at the pump.” Occasionally they’ll mention how oil companies are working to add refinery capacity or improve efficiency. Basically, it’s a simple story of supply and demand, and old habits die hard. May 19, 3:00 a.m. PDT Akimbi virtualizes the application test bench In the average datacenter, a lot of IT resources are spent on preproduction application testing. Servers, networks, databases, and applications must all be deployed, followed by a series of installs and uninstalls for various versions of the application environment being put through its paces. The more homegrown applications you create, the more staff hours you burn on this repetitive but crucial work. “It’s all quite churny,” says James Phillips, CEO of Akimbi.
