oh...AND I ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY HATE BEANCOUNTERS!!!!!!!!

Not just the professionals.....every fu...g person who has a BEANCOUNTER PERSONALITY.

And a miserable life.........life should be GRAND.

For Simon......

So there's this guy, Simon Travaglia. The author of BOFH

I've been reading BOFH ever since I can remember myself, well certainly since I was 16 and I was on line.

I cannot remember how many times Simon made me smile, laugh, recognize myself in his stories or wish I recognised myself anyway:)

Over the years I've grown to anticipate every Friday a new BOFH episode with the anticipation of a friendly visit from a friend you hold close to your heart.

So today I visited his website .

Its strange to feel so sorry for someone you never met. Someone you never even talked to. But there are people out there, people you feel connected without ever knowing them. Just from what they write, the way they spend their life, their character.

So for Simon, I am so sorry for your loss my never-met friend. :-(

So...very rarely do I get to realize the power that lies in the hands of the computer geeks (yeah I'm talking about me).

And pay attention now, not the computer people! Because, com'on every last secretary can call herself an Office Certified Expert (can I throw up now please??)

So, the geeks. More specifically though, the geeks with bastard inclinations. For us the computer world from the tiny cat-5 wire (ok not so tiny) to a cluster farm is the borders to our universe.

These days, where communication is everything, where the ability to communicate is built-in and a prerequisite for any imaginable device, now that whole new protocols are invented in order for communication between systems to be seemingly transparent, these days the computer people are like the old-time shamans.

I must confess, ever since I touched my first keyboard (I was 11) till now the same sense of excitement and joy is with me still. Computers, the Internet, the Net and the whole wired world are for me not just an add-on to my world, but a whole big part of it.

I guess maybe these sense of familiarity with any information-technology system, this excitement caused by proximity to any information-sensitive system is applicable only to us......geeks with bastard inclinations.

I had the chance today to come face to face again with the power of such knowledge and how information can be manipulated by people in such positions. A dangerous yet exhilarating feeling.

No matter how secure a system, how carefully planned a policy, there are always ways to enter the digital fortress......

God, I feel so wicked........:-)
