It’s pretty hard to convince an individual to invest any time into a Personal IT disaster recovery plan. Even if they have experienced some IT loss, folk simply think their gadgets will continue working forever,
A visit to an Apple genius bar will see a constant flow of disparate anxious end-users who are there because of some kind of IT failure. As an engineer, it’s great solving problems and putting out fires but most incidents can be easily avoided.
In less than 3 days the Second Life effect has kicked in. Playing The Division as a 4 player squad commits you in a different way than any single player game ever could. Firstly, there is the session commitment where it would not good form to quit unexpectedly. Unfortunately, this is often the case if you pay attention to your physical life and a 2-3 hour session is broken in the middle of a mission so you can bath the cat WTF.
A strong feeling of ‘must do better’ strokes your ego as you seek to improve your abilities and skills so you can bring a brilliant experience to the team.
Knowing when to stop as a team without bad feelings is key as well as actually playing with like-minded people. Of course, this just relates to titles where you have full voice chat enabled.
Titles like Star Wars BattleFront give you the mass experience when 20+ players can jump in and out of games without it really getting too personal.
There’s a real distortion of your physical world and you could easily miss important events like Weddings and such.
For now, I’m deleting The Division to focus on more self-paced titles.
Slept in the daytime, no meds today
At age 14, I strategically used Valentines Day to anonymously share my feelings with girls I fancied or admired in class and watch from a safe distant never revealing myself in person.
Today it’s almost impossible to be truly anonymous and successful hiding is actually frowned upon as freakish and creepy. The same techniques to surprise a Loved One can be used to destroy, mislead or corrupt without trace but It comes down to moral intentions and belief systems. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to bring out the undetected schemer in you.
Stealth: The ability to reach and/or kill your target without detection.
Stealth mood is one of the most satisfying gaming strategies built into a wide genre of titles, in fact, many games award or punish you based on your stealth skills. I’m rather addicted to stealth IRL and in my digital playgrounds, the best penetration testers often adopt this mindset to their core.

I took a chance, called PlayStation Support in LA about my failed DLC install and actually got through to a human being who quickly proceeded an unexpected refund.
Total result.
Now I’m a happy gamer again…it was only $14.99 but the principle was everything. Anyhow, looks like I won’t be wondering the Horizon Dawn landscape for now unless I complete the game in my UK profile then purchase the DLC for the UK market.
Over 50 days since my last gym session
What do you want? I’ve spent over 2 hours trawling one of the biggest shopping websites in the world and I still can’t find something I actually want. Bah humbug to it all. Why do I have to force feed myself reasons to be jolly anyhow?
What’s really important is being around people who actually care about my existence. Besides, the things that give me a real buzz cannot be bought with a civilian security clearance or are too elite to be on any retail shopping outlet.
Give small but niche token gifts Use a daily cash envelope system Use Load-up cards only Carry a food flask so you don’t eat too much Talk and Dream about Summer 2018 holidays Grab the designated driver card to avoid drinking Downgrade to a “dumb” phone…Text and Talk only

The classic dilemma for patch management is when to do it and what will it break. Especially, when dealing with Operating systems you run the risk of the application you’ve been using for decades suddenly not working (not supported).
This issue is bad enough when doing the upgrade for yourself but when you do it on behalf of a client you run the risk of being the root cause of the problem.
The latest MacOs upgrade is not compatible the Outlook for Mac 2013 (version 15.3), which was released October 2014….WTF. So now you have to spend time and money on an upgrade.
The best practice is to run a compatibility test on all applications especially business-critical ones. But why haven’t two of the biggest software vendors in the world built that into the OS upgrade process to at least notify the user?
Money talks louder, so shut up and buy the Office365 upgrade
Meanwhile, I try to keep my head straight and get totally distracted by just looking out the window. Austria is a great place to avoid mass marketing but dammit this has just pushed me back into my one-track mind.
What was the approval process for a company to register and pay for this domain and then actively market it?
So much for Global Thinking
