The IT Skeptic on facebook

Submitted by skeptic on Tue, 2013-03-26 22:38

Mountains crumble, continents shift, species evolve, and The IT Skeptic gets a page on facebook. Personally I prefer Google+ but for those of you who use Zuckerbook, The IT Skeptic now has his own page, and I promise to try to keep the page alive on this crumbling ruin of a social network (like, facebook is so noughties). To do that, I need you to interact please, so come friend, like, post, tag, comment, and all those things you do on a social network.

Hear the The IT Skeptic speak about Standard+Case on an exciting new 24 hour world-wide online conference

Submitted by skeptic on Tue, 2012-09-04 11:51

It takes a lot to get the IT Skeptic excited, but here are two things!! Standard+Case and TFT12.

  • Standard+Case is going to change the way we deal with support and operations.
  • TFT12 is a 24-hour world-wide online crowd-sourced ITSM conference.
  • Both of them are enough to get Skep fizzing, and trust me that doesn't happen often.

If you would like to hear about the latest developments in Standard+Case at TFT12 please vote for this topic, else it won't happen. Yes the presentations are being crowd-selected, so I need your vote please to get Standard+Case onto the agenda!

And if you would like to know what Standard+Case or TFT12 is, click the links! or read on for a brief synopsis...

6 years old and still growing

Submitted by skeptic on Wed, 2012-05-16 04:07

It's six years since this blog flickered into life. Not bad for a site that was going to be a six month experiment to learn how blogging works. I'm giving away a few books to celebrate.

There may beare some missing graphic files
The ITIL Wizard is on holidayback.

A little Christmas gift for readers

Submitted by skeptic on Fri, 2011-12-23 08:58

If a post falls in the internet wilderness and nobody reads it, does it make a blog? Of course not. A blog is nothing without you, gentle readers. So at this festive time of year, I'd like to say a special thank-you for following and commenting, and offer a little something in gratitude.

Thanksgiving

We don't have Thanksgiving in New Zealand but with a third of this blog's readers kicking back and being grateful tomorrow it seemed like a good time to be grateful too.

A word about photos

Submitted by skeptic on Sat, 2011-08-27 10:53

As producers of online IP, I think some bloggers could have more respect for the work of others. Today I want to mention photographers. Is blogging a commercial activity? I only make peanuts from this blog, but I'm building a business brand and I'm talking about business topics. You bet I consider this blog a commercial activity. So is any IT-related blog.
