I have decided to merge my old blog (profappleby.wordpress.com) into my newer blog.  I’ve carried across some of the old posts, including my recent foray into mainframes for project managers, and will bid farewell to the old blog at the end of this month.

As you know, this is my “official” blog. I have an older blog – the predecessor to this one – which I am transforming into a “mainframe-related” blog. The URL is:

http://profappleby.wordpress.com

The purpose of my “mainframe blog” is to provide a basic understanding of mainframe concepts and terminology to technical project managers. My hope is that this will lead to better communication between project managers and tech support staff as they plan and execute projects involving mainframe enterprise servers.

If this effort is successful, then there is a possibility that a seminar or class may be offered at a future time that will address the subject at a deeper, more technical level.

But first things first.
