Virtually Artificial

I had the great pleasure of stumbling across the Wool trilogy of books last year. I haven’t been so touched by a book since The Passage – I must have a thing about the end of the world. The story is about a community that lives in a huge pill shaped structure (a silo) almost […]

I’m lucky, my current client has me working in a so-called DevOps team, in a very progressive business unit within a large, stable enterprise. F5 Load balancers are everywhere and the ‘product’ is internet facing, I’m in my element; this is ‘my thing’. The heavy use of iRules means I get to ‘programme’ quite often […]

Interviewing for the “Ideal Candidate”: Looking for “Nerdvana”

I was going through a stock photo website the other day and came across a “formula” that was supposed to equal the “perfect job candidate”.  I chuckled a little out loud.  The person sitting next to me looked over at what was on my laptop screen. Paused. Then asked me what I look for when […]
