When exiting Google Earth I’ve got the message that the myplaces.kml file could not be written down, writing to myplaces.kml.tmp instead.
Fixing is simple:
Go to the directory with settings (eg. in Windows 7 location is C:\Users\your_username\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth) and rename myplaces.kml.tmp to myplaces.kml.

From server perspective everything with Digital IBMer 2014 works fine. But end-users reported strange behavior: some pages were empty for them.
As issue was reproducible only in IE11 and not in other browsers (IE9, Firefox, Chrome, Safari), we were sure issue is not on our servers, but on the course side. We engaged developer of the course, guy from India, DOJO and browser expert. It took him about 10 minutes to identify the issue.
Problem was that somehow IBM internal servers made it to the Microsoft compatibility list, and so the production server pages were rendered in IE7 compatibility mode. And this caused Framework malfunction. Helpdesk was instructed to suggest to users to turn of both checkboxes in Compatibility View settings and make sure ibm.com is not listed within Compatibility Mode Websites, what resolved the issue.
As you (maybe) know, I work in IBM on development and support of Learning Management System. Every year we are faced with challenge of so called Digital IBMer course. It’s course which educates IBMers on the latest cybersecurity threats, and all IBM employees need to go through it every year. From our perspective that means few thousands unique users in addition to standard daily load, and usually all those users try to make the course in about same timeframe (1-2 peak hours).
Digital IBMer 2012 was mainly about tuning our WebSphere App Server and DB2 configuration. During Digital IBMer 2013 shared proxies were the main blocker (there is a limit of incoming connections for each application).
For this year we worked pretty hard since last October to make whole environment ready. We’ve got our own dedicated proxy server, we’ve ran extensive performance testing, there was setup a super-cool monitoring tool ITCAM to help us analyze the system, we’ve added some other monitors on OS level based on various performance analysis experts advices, and in cooperation with AIX, DB2 and WAS L2 support we’ve tuned our environment settings. Simply said – we’ve made everything ready.
This should have been first year without any issues… 🙂
Po instalaci WordPressu s novou šablonou Twenty Fourteen jsem narazil na problém, že se slova s diakritikou zobrazovaly špatně. Na vině je v šabloně použitý font Lato, který nepodporuje rozšířenou latinku (Latin Extended), což je pro správné zobrazování češtiny třeba.
Aby vše fungovalo jak má, je nutné nahradit tento font jiným, Latin Extended podporujícím. Já se po krátkém průzkumu rozhodl pro Open Sans, který je dostupný přes Google Fonts.
K tomu stačilo jen dle návodu How to Create a WordPress Child Theme vytvořit “podtéma”, které přejímá všechny vlastnosti originálního Twenty Fourteen (takže budoucí aktualizace nebudou mít na úpravu vliv), toto nainstalovat do WordPressu, a bylo hotovo.
