  • 1.  First Time IBM Champion for 2025

    Posted Mon February 03, 2025 08:28 AM

    I've not been humbeled by much in recent times, but I was when I got the email from Libby, Thank you, it is a serious honor to become an IBM Champion 

    Somehow... I knew... Becoming a certified forklift opperator and getting my Excavator License would pay off...  :-) 

    I don't know if I am the only IBM champion to personally own a Forklift and an Excavator, but I will do my absolute best during 2025 to convince as many of you as possible to own one of them as well

    I also look forward to helping/advocating and presenting on Instana, PL/1, IBM I, Java (Websphere/Liberty), Power, Flashsystems, B-series Networking, Iris/Cache[Epic], PowerVC, PowerSC and more

    Thanks!

    Congratz Mike :) My first time as well even though that I dont own any forklift or an Excavator. But I do own a crazy cat and a snow blower out of proportion compared to the size of my yard. :)

    Ok, I love both of these intros. Who knew that that excavator was the thing?! I don't have one, although we do have an "amusement park" here in Houston where kids and adults can drive/try out all kinds of similar big driveable machines. Maybe I need to take the kids and go try it out.

    I DO have some crazy cats. And books all out of proportion for the size of my house. :-)
