Not Good Enough Stories…
Bill, a former colleague of mine who is very technically savvy, has a little corner of the blogspace called www.notgoodenough.net.
Here he posts about the everyday dumb issues that he comes across that make his working life that little bit harder. By day, he manages some very complex infrastructure for a company of over 1000 staff, and we often catch up for a coffee to compare notes on the latest head-shaking piece of dumbness that we have recently encountered. Now doing "not good enough" stories for Microsoft is simply too easy, so that’s why I like the fact that Bill goes after the likes of IBM and Packeteer as well 🙂
The thing that is really scary when you read his stories, is the sheer unbridled freakin *lameness* of some of the things that he has encountered. My own stores are very similar, and it reinforces to me that usually when something goes pear shaped enough to cost time and money, the underlying cause is rarely clever.
