Hard News: Three months after, in reply to Lilith __,
Midnight in the Zen Garden...
But better, perhaps, than a drop in a bucket.
something to read before
the long drop into sleep?:
I've Been Tinkling
by Wretched Pebbles -
steaming down the Sewers...
Wow, those islands of green
look pretty small, don’t they.How come I'm in the pink
yet they're shitting pretty?3 cheers for the loan arrangers...
A lot of people are missing the
public libraries really badly.Having Shirley Library back open is
fabulous, walking distance, with
no mall distractions, excellent.
- though petrol, post and banking
would be useful... -

Hard News: Someone has to be accountable…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Sine of the Times?
No, because a fat bloke in wellies (NZ’s concept of a plant controller) is immune to worms and viruses of that kind.

SAP is the anti-PAS...
...the trouble with SAP is that it’s not just a big accounting package. It was originally a huge Plant Maintenance product, with the Financials as part of that.
...has the Stuxnet worm been found in NZ yet?
...any Siemens controllers in our infrastructure?
I found it a tad disquieting that Stuxnet had surfaced in Japan as long ago as October last year - more on that and possible implications for the earthquake/tsunami-compromised Nuclear reactors - here
Will the last person to leave New Zealand
turn Deloitte offBut, this is what Deloitte do. They sell unnecessary SAP upgrades and deployments instead of encouraging reuse.
I note that Mike Foley (Head of Information Services, Auckland Council) was headhunted by Deloitte to set up and run its customer relationship management practice in 2001 (till 2003).
He is reported to subscribe to the "Plan for the worst, deliver the best" scenario - This skill set provides Foley an edge when dealing with a major part of his role as Watercare CIO — strategising for a disaster. Here's hoping he'll carry that over into the new job.... problem solved folks! -
Why does it have to be new?
always room for the
DOS-enchanted and
broken dataed......and as long as everyone
keeps up with the paperwork
what could possibly
go wrong? -

hmmm...
...what to do with the
empty shelf space in
the library, now that
everything is digitised?
- a vinyl solution... -
Southerly: That CERA Rumour, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
More Brinkermanship...*
One Rink to Bind Them!**Rink is, as you all know, merely a
contraction of that most fearful
of interest-bearing compounds -
Red Ink - which freezes anything
o'er which it spreads or seeps...
Don't take my word for it, the
Gummint has been skating on it for years!**the as yet unwritten LOTR sequel
in which Christchurchshire is itself
cast into the pit of More Ordure...
