Technology Writings

Recently I’ve published some nice freelance technology articles over at the Train Signal training company’s blog. These articles are always fun to write since the audience is both technologically savvy and hungry for knowledge beyond the standard mainstream technology news feeds.

Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 is out and following closely on its heels is the Small Business Server 2011 Best Practices Analyzer which is a powerful tool for optimizing any SBS installation.

Next up is an informational bulletin about the new release of System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1, which brings Microsoft’s VMM in line with the features and functionality that were improved in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Most noticably, SCVMM now supports the Dynamic Memory feature on the latest release of Windows Server.

Also recently published was this piece about System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Beta that was released by Microsoft recently. There is a lot of new stuff going on in SCCM 2012. You can actually see the product maturing as design decisions that once looked like good ideas have been reworked in order to avoid the issues that arise when you actually have to use a management tool in an enterprise environment on a relatively large scale.

You can check out my writer’s profile on the Train Signal Training blog for links to more of the techie articles I’ve written for Train Signal, or if you prefer, check out my freelance technology writer page on ArcticLlama.com, the home of my freelance writing business.

Have a great day writing everyone!

Writers on Quora

The big news at the Quora, the question and answer site, is all of the big name executives and the like that answer questions there. Every once and a while, I head over there and read some questions. Eventually, I end up throwing in my two cents.

If you want to see a freelance writer answering questions on Quora, please feel free to drop by.

Brian Nelson Freelance Writer Personal Webpage

It turns out that one of the websites that ranks over one of my website does so on the back of many links from their ISP provided personal webpage. Well, two can play at that game. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Brian Nelson freelance writer webpage.  (Don’t get excited it isn’t a “real” website at all.)

Unfortunately, like most ISP webpages, the ones from Comcast are buggy and not fully featured. I have to edit the HTML by hand to include links because the dialog box that appears when you click the chain link to add a link is empty.

Nevertheless, I press on, knowing that my additional links will aid my own SEO efforts so long as Google insists on pretending that counting incoming links is still a viable means of ranking websites.

Brian Nelson on Facebook, Twitter and Social Networks

Brian Nelson’s Social Networks

Social Networking graphicI need to go through and integrate my social networking and writing business online marketing efforts.  For now, I do what I can when I can in between freelance writing for clients, writing for myself (fiction that I keep working on but never taking to the next level), doing SEO for my freelance writing business and other assorted entrepreneurial tasks and family matters.

That being said, I do have plenty of social networking accounts setup, even if many of them are doing nothing more than auto-posting feeds and posts from my various writing websites or other online writing efforts.

Whew! I guess that should be enough for now, although I’m pretty sure there are a lot more out there.

Right now, I’m using Seesmic to manage my freelance writing social networks after HootSuite went “freemium” and limited accounts to just five per user. I could register again with a different email but that kind of defeats the purpose of handling all my Twitter accounts from one single login.

Cheers.

Brian Nelson Bookmarks

Some updates to social bookmarks and experimenting with other online services since it appears that Yahoo will be shutting down and / or selling delicious some time in the near future.

Here are my (mostly) freelance writing bookmarks on delicious.

I’ve imported those to YourVersion so these writing bookmarks are basically the same at this point.

I’ll update this post as I add other services and/or upgrade the writer’s resources that I highlight around the web.

Thanks.
