We seem to see fewer and fewer movies as the years go by, after starting 2007 with the best of intentions I think seeing a couple of movies at Chadstone sitting ankle-deep in rubbish while obnoxious people talked through movies, answered their phones through movies, or played with lasers through movies, put us off for the rest of the year. Maybe 2008 will be better...

2008-Apr-23 The Painted Veil

I defy anybody to make sense of the following gibberish:

Today's enterprise network landscape incorporates numerous discrete but interrelated infrastructure elements - applications, databases, services, and hardware - and encompasses a variety of management disciplines, interfaces, tools, and dashboards. Typically, these elements are lashed together with chewing gum and baling wire. Nevertheless, the expectation is that such a patchwork assemblage will work cohesively, even though in practice the cohesion among such diverse sets of components is seldom transparent and never seamless. Run Book Automation (RBA) represents an emerging technology space architected around various sets of standards. Early adopters turn to RBA to address basic enterprise needs for coherent, end-to-end task automation across the IT landscape. These early adopters also typically seek to fill the gaps using turnkey solutions instead of patching site- or system-specific solutions together.
