Here’s what’s going on today around Austin technology.

• Boundless Network has promoted Jeremy Kraybill to the position of CIO.
• Vignette announced three new patent awards. One of them is rather interesting in that it is a patent award for a feature that can capture, store, and play back web interactions.
