I just received an e-mail from Cognos announcing their new TECHTALK 
portal web resource. And was I surprised not just that there is no 
content for Powerhouse, but when you click Product under Category, and 
then filter by Product, that you still don't see Powerhouse or ADT?  Nope.

The new portal is here; http://www.cognos.com/na/techtalk/ with the 
catch line "Evaluating Cognos technology starts here". While apparently 
not all of the Cognos technology. I sent them a notice of my displeasure 
saying they should append the line with ", except our ADT tools". The 
ADT team should be crying foul when ever their tools are outright ignored.

Is it really a wonder why some Powerhouse users think its days are 
numbered. The Cognos marketing department seems to have forgotten it exists.

I don't know why this should upset me. Perhaps I should view this 
positively. That I'll gain experience with newer more popular technology 
that will open up more job opportunities. Repeating to my self; The 
glass is half full, the glass is half full....
