Wiccat's Blog

So, I've been contemplating a lot lately about the principles of Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido that I've been learning from my AiKido training.

A project manager, cries wolf about a non-emergency issue, on a non-production server, involving project work on a Sunday night.  The unix on-call is a tad perturbed about getting an urgent-response touble-ticket for a non-issue, that he has to drop everything to respond to, which turns out to be an oracle config tweak that the vendor said could totally wait for the DBA to do in the morning. The PM has the cojones to refer to the admin as 'unprofessional' in the IM conference.  The PM then of course comletely fails to comprehend why people are referring to him as an asshat.

Huh - thought I'd posted all that old 'emo' stuff I'd done so long ago ... oh well 'enjoy'. :p

Mucking about with the twitter module in the new Drupal 6 install. If I eventually get this right, it'll update my tweets from blog posts.  Somehow I'm dubious.

Finally got the site upgraded from #Drupal 5 to D6.  Let's hope I didn't break anything important. :P

That some raging dork whose security 'experience' is running the config tool and rule editor for Checkpoint's horrid FW-1 product, becomes a 'Security Engineer' and is qualified to tell me (based the CERT-Incident-number-laden output of some idiot port-scanning tool) that my servers are insecure, when the clueless twat doesn't know what nmap or tcp wrappers are?

GAH!

If my website weren't being blocked by WebSense (no links for them - they suck) as a gaming site (go figure), maybe I would blog from work in my spare cycles.   Yeah - I can see that - getting fired for 'accessing an outside computer network' ... yay. :p

Has it really been over a year since I set up the blogspace and then did nothing with it? EEK!

Not surprising really, I'm so not the diary type really.

So how can I explain my existance on Twitter?

Good Question ... wish I knew the answer.

Well, basic site-setup is completed - now I'm just getting all the pages re-linked and converted - bear with me folks - it's gonna be a bumpy ride. :)
