I think I’ve discovered the secret of the long standing conflict between IT workers and management. Which is to say, one of my commenters (RobMoir) articulated it and I’m totally stealing his concept.
It comes down to the same mentality as religion vs. science.
A true believer in religion doesn’t need proof, faith is enough for them. In [...]
There is a “satirical news programme” in Australia known as The Chaser (technically, they have gone through a few names for different series - their latest was called “The Chaser’s War on Everything” but let’s keep things simple and call them The Chaser.) They specialise in doing public stunts designed to make someone look silly.

April 25th is one of the most significant days of the year in Australia. It marks the day that the Australia and New Zealand Army Corp (along with other armed forces of the British Empire) landed on the beaches of Gallipoli on the Turkish peninsula.

So I was actually mentioned in a few [...]
For those who haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a geek. I’m not so obsessed with being the first to have the latest and greatest tech toys as I once was but I do still love gadgets. I have a weakness for shiny things with blinkenlights.
So by most standards I qualify as a technophile. But [...]
You know how some fundamentalist religious types think the Harry Potter books are encouraging devil worship? Well, they really wouldn’t like the playground i took my kids to on the weekend.
