Mr. Bump on Feb 26th, 2008It was like you were drunk at a party…
Simon Cowell just said that to someone on American Idol and it made me laugh. I hope it caused you to keep reading.
Rational Survivability has a couple of good things posted in the last day or two. The first one is about not following security hardening guidelines. Hoff posts a link to […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 22nd, 2008Boldly going where no man…
…has gone before. That might be a wee bit of an exaggeration. So where exactly did we go to result in such an intriguing title? We put one of the “port pairs” of our LANenforcer 2024 outside of one of our firewalls. Ballsy, eh?! Its safe to say that the […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 20th, 2008Sounds painful
Sounds like Server 2008 comes out of the box with a bad attitude according to this Network World article. In-place upgrades and Exchange 2007 are the biggest victims. Something for us to think about as we are back to the design phase of our Exchange 2007 migration.
Got a call tonight about the untimely […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 19th, 2008Red spot on the forehead
Why? A simple question really. Perhaps you’re wondering why I’m asking why? Why would you put a piece of software that has vulnerabilities discovered in it nearly every week on a server where it does not need to be installed? People just don’t get it. The software I’m talking about […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 18th, 2008KISS
Not the band. Keep it simple, stupid.
A couple of weeks ago I briefly mentioned a split brain VRRP problem that needed to be solved. Well, its been almost two weeks since the problem has occurred. This problem had been going on for quite some time and the quick solution was to turn […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 16th, 200854 mil for a stolen laptop?
It is pretty tough to go to tech site right now without seeing a headline about the $54 million lawsuit against Best Buy for a single stolen or lost laptop. The woman even started a blog about the lawsuit. Behold, the power of cheese the internet.
Friday afternoon we went out for a drink […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 13th, 2008So relevant its scary…
Over at CIO.com is an article about the productivity gap between mid-market and large IT shops that hits so close to home its nothing short of scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah…you’re probably wondering why in the heck would this clown be reading CIO.com? To which I say: a boy can dream! I […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 12th, 2008Like a Broken Record
I could have written a post last night but it would have started the same way last Mondays post started…another Monday, another print server discussion. Like a broken record…
Over at Rational Survivability is a real eye opener of a post about “drive-by malware downloads.” The topic hits close to home because a member […]
Mr. Bump on Feb 9th, 2008What’s my name?
Just came across this…Citrix Presentation Server is no more. Its now XenApp Server. Boy…didn’t see that one coming!
From American Pie…”What’s my name?” (Rated R for language)
Mr. Bump on Feb 9th, 2008You must conform!
“You must conform” was the punchline to many discussions in the NOC on Friday. It was Friday…if you can’t blow it out on a Friday when the hell can you blow it out?
I’ve been asked twice now on my opinions of Hoff’s recent posts over at Rational Survivability about NAC and/or IPS in relation […]
