"Still pining for what could have been - google 'William Gibson Alien 3 Script' and you'll see what I mean!"

this is what I tell people - Alien 3 could/should have been just as scary as Alien and just as actiony as Aliens

Slow news day in Australia

Author is in Oz. NZ-Ozzie friendly rivalry dictates items like this get reported in Oz (no doubt resulting in such comments as "call that a shark attack? THIS is a shark attack!")

"Netflix has rejected New Zealand as a potential international launch spot because of low internet data caps and content rights issues."

I can see lots of discussion of broadband caps, but none further on digital rights issues....

BOFH

I think he is like me: I get el Reg via RSS, and for some reason Simon's BOFH doesn't report itself to the feed, so he would have (like me) created a custom search query for "BOFH" and used that for the RSS feed.

process process process

as the virtual infrastructure guy, I'm continuously being asked by devs, app support, testers, etc "can I have the VI console, and access to VM x,y,z?"

no.

Then I tell them the analogy of the "key/swipecard access to the server room" - do you have physical access to our datacentre? no, well the VIC is the same thing... so you won't be getting that either.

So far, so good - it's been a strong enough argument to stop them bitching to their boss, who in turn bitches to mine, and I then go thru my little speech again, and their boss goes away thinking their staff have not been 100% up front to him.....
