eniginEnigin – Wasting Time and Energy with New Servers

When I was first approached by Enigin PLC it was to recommend, install, configure and maintain a whole bunch of servers. After much consultation with the various managers and decision makers of the company, it was apparent that they knew nothing about the technology they were asking for.

London Impro Jam comes to London

March 26th, 2008

London Impro JamThis Friday me and my house mates are going to the London Impro Jam at the Miller near London bridge. It should be really good Gran theft Impro are playing who are one of the bigger Impro troupes in the whole of London.

The Impro Jam is cool, basically for the first half a hour a guest impro troupe comes in a performs some of their best stuff. Then in the second half they pick some member from the audience and they are put into scenes with the guest imrpo troupe all under the watchful eye of the directors. Ben was the star of the last show, he did this fantasic scene where he was a Gangster on the blind date. It was f*!*ing brilliant. The only thing that let it down was the room, which was a pub room with a dodgy looking back drop, hopefully the Miller will be far better.

We have been wroking mega hard here to catch up from the long weekend. So far all we have finished is the Omnilux and
botox for migraine sections.

Heathrow’s Crash Landing Incident

March 10th, 2008

The crash landing of a Boeing aircraft at Heathrow yesterday is the latest in a serious of plane related incidents around the world that has to call into question the safety of air travel, especially in the minds of those who are a little wary of the experience to begin with.  Despite the fact that the plane survived the landing, and only a few passengers were hurt, it’s probably still going to impact the flight industry as people begin to seriously consider whether it’s worth the gamble of something going wrong, or if they should just stay at home and protect the ozone layer instead. 

There needs to be a complete overhaul of the planes that fill our skies nowadays.  Many of them are older than anyone would probably like to admit, and no-one really knows what the lifespan of a plane really is.  The major airlines need to have a couple of replacement planes that they use and systematically ground each plane in turn, strip it down and check for wear and tear damage – starting with the oldest planes in their respective fleet.  Even if air travel isn’t as dangerous as the news reports are showing, there’s still no need for airlines to rest on the laurels of statistics, they need to be proactively ensuring that passenger safety is put above profit margins.

The Government's IT Fiasco

February 15th, 2008

Government is noted for its talent in wasting taxpayers money.  But a recent report at the beginning of the year has shown that up to £2 billion has been wasted by IT projects since the turn of the millennium.  This shocking figure becomes more disgraceful when it is revealed that only a third of IT projects ultimately fulfil their roles, the rest are either rewritten or are shut down altogether.

What is more worrying is that the current administration plans to spend around £5 billion on the National ID card scheme.  With the recent scandals involved with losing a third of the countries tax details, the potential for rising costs and ultimately a disaster of massive proportions lurks ominously.  However, the government seems keen in spite of all the public opposition to carry forward with this scheme.  In many other countries, the shouts of ‘corruption’ would be heralded from the rooftops.  But in Britain, we merely shrug our shoulders and carry on. Finally we seem to be progressing with the site.Mick has finally redesigned the thread veins treatments part
