An update and a rant

Jason has the Huntingdale file back from his builder. I’m sure he’ll be along to give a more detailed rundown on what has been going on.

Pat Auge my co-designer on the Kauri Cliffs project currently has the master file and has been constructing the miles of farm fences on the course. When finished they’re going to add a lot to the visual appeal of the course. I’m not sure when the course will be finished as I’m starting a high level IT course in 6 weeks which covers network infrastructure and the innards of Windows Server 2008.

 

 

My rant is about people in the Links community who aren’t IT experts and do not have any IT qualifications of any kind giving half assed advice and opinions on very technical matters. To these people I say just because you have issues with your own PC’s with Links 2003 don’t just assume it’s always Microsoft’s or [insert driver manufacturers name here] fault. In some cases it just may be that you don’t have the technical expertise to correctly setup your PC and then do complex problem solving diagnosis in IT of issues that may have been self inflicted.

All good diagnosis is based on an objective assessment of what does or doesn’t work on a given system. It isn’t based on what operating system or which video card manufacturer you hate the most. Inflicting ones prejudices on others as a way of posing as an IT expert isn’t going to solve any computer problems.

Indeed the same symptoms on multiple computers can have  different causes on each. This is common with both desktop PC’s and huge networks in the corporate world. 

 

Anyone who wants to debate my rant well you better come armed with facts, otherwise make my day……
