- Staffing for Linux, not distribution X
- Back in the mid to late 1970s the battle for control of corporate IT was in full swing. One side, the corporate data processing group in Finance, maintained an almost absolute ideological purity with deep commitments to one vendor and the One Right Way while, on the other, line...

- The nastiest, most pernicious, Windows advantage yet
- Back in the 1980s everybody with any serious management experience assumed that IT development projects would fail to meet budget, timeline, and functional expectations but would eventually deliver something - and something, of course, was believed to be better than nothing. That expectation of failure resulted from experience: most...

- Development vs. Coding
- It seems to me that a lot of the responses to last week's blogs on using prototypes in development reflect an assumed set of distinctions between coding and application development that themselves ultimately reflect organizational assumptions. Note that I'm talking about the traditional business application -many users, CRUD transactions...

- The (traditional) disaster recovery plan
- Aka the business continuity plan and rather less well known as the "risk action plan," this is a document whose existence and table of contents are subject to audit - but which, like most data processing control artifacts, doesn't have to bear much resemblance to reality. In theory, of course,...

- Evolution, risks, controls, and strategies
- The thin client transition offers considerable benefits in terms of processing risk reduction, auditability and the imposition of relatively low level usage controls. Indeed the biggest organizational risk incurred by this transition results from the fact that it speeds up the move to centralized computing and allows the IT...

- The meaning of 'relational'
- A lot of talkback contributors and others have muttered about the general failure of most application developers to make full and effective use of relational technology in their work. My guess, however, is that not too many of these people would agree to the same set of assertions either about...

- IT Customer Service
- A lot of people complain about the arrogance of IT people and our general failure to understand either the customer or the business. So what happens when IT is the business? or, at least, where IT has a clear role on the customer service delivery side? Well it depends first...

- Virtualization, old and new
- There are two very different kinds of virtualization making headlines these days. The second one, resource virtualization for management purposes, seems wholly laudable. Whether used to manage storage, processing, or networking a virtual system constructed as kind of unified console for two or more pieces of real hardware can reduce...

- Using SOX to devalue computing
- It's long been possible to use a Sun box in place of a mainframe: running traditional CICS style jobs faster and at a much lower cost. Sun, in fact, has a whole bunch of people dedicated to selling this kind of thing. But there's a problem: the data processing...

- The IT Commandments:
- The IT Commandments:SOx handcuffsThe new SOx regulations have further eroded the traditional system admin's role. Instead of being the one-stop-shop keeper of root, the system admin is being pidgeonholed into "roles" - where root access is locked up, and sysadmins get some sort of "pseudo root" access. Those "data processors"...

- IT Commandment: Thou shalt honor and empower thy (Unix) sysadmins
- In data processing your machine operators are nobodies - essentially semi-skilled labour invisible to anyone outside the glass room. In science based computing (i.e. Unix), however, your sysadmins are the people who work with the user community to make and implement the day to day tactical decisions characterizing successful systems...

- Microsoft recapitulates IBM
- This is part two of an answer to talkback contributor Carl Rapson's question about why, if dumb terminals were dumb then, would they be smart now? This isn't an easy question, and to get to the answer I need to start with a long digression on history. Please bear with...

- Moore's Law - and Murphy's corollary
- I have a cynical corollary on Moore's law as commonly understood to predict rapid, evolutionary, change in microprocessors. It goes like this: "in computing, as elsewhere, expertise decays in the presence of technical change, leaving only out-dated reflexes and organizational position in its place." I've worked, for example, for a...
