What does IBM stand for?

Depends what we've broken today.

Sometimes, I Break Maximo. Sometimes, I Build Maximo. Occasionally, I Broke My Linux.

IBM DO YOU? is a collection of technical notes, solutions, experiments and explanations covering Maximo and the other technologies we inevitably break while trying to make Maximo work.

Why the gap?

For a few years, the site went quiet. I stopped publishing articles, but I did not stop working with Maximo or running into the kind of problems worth documenting. Writing them down simply fell by the wayside.

I am writing again now, bringing the useful material from the old site with me and adding what I have learned since. The aim is still the same: record the answer clearly so it is here when someone else needs it.
