2020-03-19<\/a>: Today I drew my first UML diagram \u2013 and learning how to do it took only 15 minutes (this video + a quick Google search): https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UI6lqHOVHic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-03-18<\/a>: I\u2019ll never understand why IT (& media) pros rely so much on oral tradition. Write down the most important information, and share it with others (who weren\u2019t present, or will forget). Easy and powerful. \u201cIT\u201d = making good use of Technology to organize and share Information, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-03-17<\/a>: I\u2019m learning a lot about @openshift<\/a> these days.

2020-03-17<\/a>: The Corona epidemic is a turbo boost for disruptive innovation. Terribly outdated analog processes, refusal to communicate digitally and disregard for remote work which have plagued us for years are suddenly given top priority, and changed in mere days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-03-06<\/a>: I know from first-hand experience how many years go into building a #DAM<\/a> product. Now I\u2019m learning what it\u2019s like to use (and permanently live with) our choice of a DAM product as a customer. Not sure which side I prefer; it\u2019s hard work on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-03-06<\/a>: I need to perform a simple operation on a server. You 1) didn\u2019t document the appropriate command: I\u2019ll ask you to do it 2) documented the command but didn\u2019t keep docs up-to-date: I\u2019ll try, break things & ask you to fix it 3) maintain docs: I can do it. Sadly, 3) is the exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-03-02<\/a>: There\u2019s a special case where our #DAM<\/a> system returns the same results for \u201ca AND b\u201d as for \u201ca NOT b\u201d. Should be fun to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-05-28<\/a>: Vendor confirms this is reproducible, and an unavoidable side effect of combining the results of multiple (and different, depending on the query) analyzers, which are run on the query for better \u201csearch possibilities\u201d. Boolean logic is a thing of the past, it seems \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020-01-24<\/a>: Most tools by and for IT specialists are simply ugly \u2013 but that one PRTG monitoring setup seems to be intentionally designed to confuse, to disguise all useful information, and be as user-hostile as possible.
