Information security...

...is a MYTH, a Formality, a Drama.

And it sucks.

Rule#4: Work-Life Balance

It is rare when you can finish work in 8 hours and enjoy life in other 16. Let every one know that sometimes there is more work and life would be in office. In fact, you gradually start with more work less life and should try and mature to less work more life.

If you don't... it will happen anyway when you are hospitalized/fired.

This IMM Cartoon inspired me to draw it, though it was since long in my mind. It is also one of the 17 new rules of Management.

The markets are hot and all you keep hearing all the time is who switched where.

Anatomy of Documentation

All organizations try to hide real information under Standard Templates of documentation. Because it need to "look" worth the effort/money put in. You can't spend 3 man months and produce a two pager. It is skillfully wrapped as 'Professional'.

The rough document created from scratch (without a template) most likely has all you need it to have - guidance to WORK.

Anatomy of a Software Tester

Software TESTERS are mean, heartless people. Their typical anatomy consists of

Shrubby Hair - denotes complex thought process and contraption that they keep generating
Small Eyes - For Shrewd cruel look at software... so much so that the bug confesses itself, the one that never appeared in development
Long Nose - that can smell workarounds, performance failures
No ears - for absolutely NO Listening
Sinister Mustache - replaced with Sinister short hair in case of females
Half Smile - defining cunning look

However hard a developer may try, they will discover the WRONG way to do the things and file them as bugs.

They do their DUTY. I'd do mine - EFFO S-oles.
