TECH: BACKUP MONDAY, joins my “line up”!
Monday, July 10, 2006Similarly to when I created “wireless wednesday”, I am “creating” Backup Monday.
Wireless wednesday was my short hand way of scheduling one day a week that I would take VWBIIE out and exercise it.
As an old IT guy, I know that assumptions are silently invalidated by the universe. Like the old ture-isms, “diversely routed networks aren’t”, “disaster recovery wont”, and “you never find the last bug in your application”, “backup doesn’t”, one has to aggressively prove that stuff works.
It’s an article of faith in the IT “religion”, that you can leave something working, or have something that works flawless every time you try it, but as soon as you turn around, depend upon it, or try to demo it — typically to a Customer or your boss’ boss — it will appear as if it never ever worked. Evil spirits will come from far and wide to sprinkle bad luck upon you and ever device you then touch.
So, on Mondays I will focus on “backups”. Take them and off-site them. Test them. See what works and what doesn’t.
One has to try to defeat those evil spirits any way you can.
When was the last time you used a backup? Care to be on it working? Just tell me if you need it to or not. ;-)

A mockery of the rules
By Jeff Jacoby | July 9, 2006
***Begin Quote***
WHEN THE Massachusetts Legislature meets in joint session as a constitutional convention this week, the most notable item on its agenda will be a proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage. A record-breaking 170,000 registered voters have signed petitions to put such an amendment on the state ballot. But the Massachusetts Constitution mandates a detour: The measure must first win the support of at least 50 lawmakers in two consecutive legislative terms. Only then can it be submitted to the people. If the amendment gets past every hurdle, it will reach the ballot in November 2008.

I usually like Jeff. BUT, in htis case, he is asking the wrong question!
Why does the gubamint have any role in marriage? Gay, straight, or anything else. Could it be to keep black men from marrying white women? Could it be so that they can “track” us? Could it be so that they can train us to accept intrusion into every facet of our life?
