by

I saw this graphic on Linked-In a while back and saved a copy to remind me that innovation is a mistake-filled endeavor. No mistake is bad, if you learn from it.

Often they seem only to be used as a repository of static detail such as landscape models, […]

Enterprise-architecture – a changes report

Leadership Patterns and Anti-Patterns – The Growler

by

Prior to starting my career in IT (twenty years ago this month…seems like yesterday), I spent a little over eleven years in law enforcement as a Deputy Sheriff.

Single Point of Failure (Comms)

by

Large business-critical systems can be brought down by power failure. My previous post looked at Airlines. This time we turn our attention to Telecommunications.

If someone said you had to accept an unreliable electricity supply as the price of innovation in appliances, you’d laugh. #NotNeutrality

More misery for BT broadband users after new power cut. Looks like ‘no single point of failure’ is an alien concept. https://t.co/mOobFidWe4

That shows that management should look at automating network. Since Network is single point of failure. https://t.co/ND5UXtNntj

Don’t Hide Behind Pronouns!

by

Let’s admit first off what none of us want to admit – that most of us have forgotten what exactly a “pronoun” is… Its basically any use of “you”, “we”, “them”, “they”, etc. – unspecific references to people or actors in a conversation or past event being discussed. Believe it or not – the lazy […]
