16 Steps to Securing Your Data (and Life)

- February 13, 2021

Attackers look for the path of least resistance. Recently, that path has shifted from enterprise networks to you and your devices for two reasons. First, as we have built more secure software and systems, it has made it harder to attack enterprise networks.

The death of tape has been greatly exaggerated

- September 03, 2020

In a recent news article Bloomberg's has reported on the return of reel-to-reel tape into the music market. Ironically, in Information Technology, tape is also maligned and has been assigned to the scrapheap of history like the VCR . In most cases, the alternative of hard disks, also known as spinning rust, is promoted as the only storage solution required.

Prestik, Scotch tape and barbed wire data centres

- October 26, 2021

Many times I have encountered Prestik, Scotch tape and barbed wire data centres. The reason that they are called this is because it seems these are the only tools the techies have to keep things up and running. And you know it is one, because you can visually recognize the dirt, spaghetti and graffiti around the place. The management denies any request for anything else but then still expects a quality service. The reason seems to be to satisfy budget constraints and operational service delivery in the data centre seems to be low on the list of priorities. The result is obvious, major incidents that will result in large productivity and even financial damage to the companies involved.

Today it is all about social media such as whatsapp, facebook, twitter or even LinkedIn. However, the best social media is Craic. No, it is not to be confused with substance abuse. Let me explain. Often when people meet around a braai , dinner table, or share either a pot of beer, bottle of wine, a cup of tea or a mug of coffee a conversation is likely to happen. This conversation is invariably about things and is referred to as Craic. And it is best reinforced with a good bottle of whisky (typically an Irish one, which would be known as a whiskey). Now talking about why some people call it whisky, and other whiskey is good Craic. Read the article over at LinkedIn: The best social media requires no batteries
