I've using twitter for about a year now and most people I follow are Belgian people who are strongly linked to the web (web designers, web architects, students, ...). Until now I haven't found any Siebel developers in Belgium that are using twitter. That's why ... http://siebelconsultant.net/twitter/ Good one Siebel. That's how to solve product defects http://siebelconsultant.net/fact-of-life/ A while ago I discovered the function RaiseError() in Siebel.

That's Murphy's law, and that is exactly what is happing at our project. Last week we were suffering from a very slow development environment. Checking out projects in Siebel Tools took 30 - 35 minutes instead of the ... http://siebelconsultant.net/murphys-law/ Let's launch a new word today. And to make it complete, let's try to get this word published in Van Dale (a Dutch dictionary) The new word I'm trying to launch is a word that is being used on my current project by my colleagues. The word I'm talking about is wimbug. ... http://siebelconsultant.net/wimbug/
