Posted by Hemang Mehta on April 11, 2012 Web Experience Management, Development CMS, Content Management Systems, FatWire

If you are a Oracle WebCenter Sites (FatWire Content Server) customer, I am sure one of the questions you ask yourself is: "Is my site optimized for mobile"? With different devices such as iPads, Android Tablets, iPhone, Android phones, BlackBerrys and non-touch web-enabled devices (yes there are few of them still out there!) all in different sizes, screen resolutions and browsers, it’s tough to ensure your end users have a great experience interacting with your site.  Here is where Responsive Web Design and packaged products such as Oracle WebCenter Sites Mobility Server come into play....

Using the Visualization Editor to Create a Dashboard in Splunk 4.3

Posted by Rupak Pandya on April 05, 2012 Operational Intelligence, Cool Tools Analytics, Cool Tools, Dashboards

Hello world!  This is my first blog post with Function1 and I hope you find it useful. This post will give you an idea of how simple it is to use the new Visualization Editor in Splunk 4.3 to create a dashboard. This neat new feature is great because it simplifies the dashboard and panel creation process by allowing any user to create a custom dashboard without having to write any XML code and/or book time and consult with the IT guy! Each Splunk user can create their very own custom dashboard with panels that can include a table, pie chart, line graph, or a variety of other options with...

A Non-Technical Girl Living in a Technical World

Posted by Amee Dalal on March 07, 2012 Cool Tools

Living in a new city, it never fails that in social settings one of the very first questions I get asked is, “What do you do?” For most people, my reply of “operations for an IT company,” is normally enough. The problem arises when the other party also works in IT. In cases like these, they want more. “IT company” doesn’t cut it.

Luckily for me, even though I find these concepts somewhat foreign, the other party usually understands.

While I come from a family...
