Colourful ads

Submitted by skeptic on Wed, 2008-07-09 00:03

OK I know the ad block to the right here is not exactly in keeping with the aesthetics of the site, but regular readers will know that this whole blog is one long experiment in web publishing, so sorry we'll live with it for a while.

craigieburn 2 The IT Skeptic's trip to the Netherlands for the itSMF conference did not cause noticeable interruption to this blog, but the subsequent trip to New Zealand's Southern Alps did. No internet, no mobile phone, no earth-phone, no mailman ... heaven.

The IT Skeptic's Solid Gold Hits, Volume 1 - selected quotes

Submitted by skeptic on Fri, 2008-04-04 06:26

Here are some favourite quotes from the IT Skeptic:

Bullshit sounds less like bullshit when it is exact bullshit

If ITIL V2 taught us how to walk, ITIL V3 teaches us how to run. Trouble is so many organisations are still sitting down.

To create solutions, think of people, process and technology in equal parts and in that order.

DNS problem fixed on www.itskeptic.org

Submitted by skeptic on Mon, 2008-03-31 10:21

I found a DNS error for this site today. So if you have been experiencing problems accessing itskeptic.org, I hope they will be a thing of the past.

I'd like to say a special thankyou to Deaf-Llama for reporting the problem with excellent trace information so I could nail it quickly and easily.

I wonder how long it has been that way? Please drop me a note if you had similar DNS problems accessing this site and when.
