2 years ago, I’ve posted an open letter to sysadmin in which I whined against the incessant flood of system administrators whose only background was firewall configuration … this might be considered as a follow up.
In the last few weeks, I’ve seen the extent of the ignorance of some consultant/sysadmin. Lets start with one example:
On MLUG, I’ve had trouble convincing peoples that RAID arrays are not “backup system” – they are the representation of an high-availability/high-reliability solution for information system. I’ve receive couple of private email on the subject saying that I was wrong and that I should read some more on the system, that they were good backup tech. Ouch!
I really don’t know what to say… this is just too wrong. Lets be honest, I’m in fright that, one day, they’ll be called as experts in court proceeding. This sentence really is tainted by my interest in law, but still… If you are a consultant / intend to be one, please, heed my words.
Being a computer consultant is a job full of interesting challenges, and the pay is great (especially in Montreal where the cost of living is so low) but your name is the one thing you must protect at all cost… I’ve been able, in the last 5 years (taking exception for 1 year working @ SFL) to easily get contracts, without ever doing any promotional work. Currently there is so much demand that, even me – selling “myself”, I had to take a partner (which I’m very interested to be working with). So: Please, think before you post something on a public forum / email another consultant … I’m nice enough not to place names, but others might not..
Btw – If you are searching for a job in the domain, you can get in touch with me. I can give you a couple names that are in need… but be ready for a harsh response if you fail to answer some basic question before I refer you…
Thanks

Hi Stefan. I don’t see any sense, because Arkins has explaned everything in details. Please read the last comments!

At present the markets are full of limitless options when it comes to selecting a smoking vaporizer. The design of a smoking vaporizer itself ensures that it is a pleasure to hold. This bowl is used to maintain the fabric that must be ignited so as to smoke.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
He man, ik moet een ding vertellen is dat ik je post wel uniekvind. Ik denk dat ik nog een keer op je blog kom kijken. ciao!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Hello! I love your notes! they’re so interesting!
Impotency is a condition when your penis does not function properly which is required to complete the sexual activity or intercourse because of the blockage of blood circulation therein. There can be so many reasons for this problem like: side effects of some medicines, usage of alcohol, physical problem, commotion in relationship between the partners etc.

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)
