My other blog, and dealing with enterprise software, customizations, and upgrades

I have a few blog posts queued up that relate to the product I’m working on for my day job. The blog posts are generally product-specific and so (I feel) aren’t appropriate for posting on this (my Los Techies) blog as it would be crass marketing...
