Millennium Bug – It’s back…well, no, not exactly.
Welcome back… It’s a new year which means its high time we had a good old fashioned IT related crisis; how about another Millennium bug?
Well, no, not exactly, but also exactly. You see? Non?, Ok It could be a lot of fuss about nothing but the hysteria is my point here. It stands to match the esteemed bug, especially if businesses continue to ignore the platform that has replaced the traditional bricks and mortar businesses of old.

Watch out for Cisco Medianet
I was watching a program the other day talking about where a joke can sometimes cross the line.
This does however bring me neatly onto the subject of censorship, as the joke does have 3 priests in it, but they weren’t in a pub…. With Instant Messaging and Social Media en-mass in its use the headache of the ‘joke emails’ return once more. You know the risqué comment that brings amusement to 99% of the audience but if it does offend the 1% then I’m afraid that 1% is entirely entitled not to be offended when they come to work.

We’re all going on a summer holiday…
Righty, read the next paragraph and if you’re not nodding when you’re reading it, congratulations you probably don’t own a smart phone…
The bags are packed; the kids are driving you nuts already, suddenly your smart phone bleeps. Your respective other half looks at you with a look of disdain, “is that work?” “Nope” you smugly reply – glad to avoid a small scale war on the matter -, “it’s an email alert showing that the M25 has been commandeered by the NCP again and will be stationary for a good few hours”. Thanks to the smart phone you can take an alternative route, well that’s a good blessing then, it’s not all work, work, work you know but silently you breathe a sigh of relief there are no emails stating your project you’ve left in the hands of your colleague has gone wrong; yet…

Finger Pointing
Just imagine if the world’s economy were managed in such a way that it would be possible for it to spend and loan monies without ensuring it would get it back; I mean that could never happen.
Mmmm well, ok, but it’s not – or shouldn’t be – such an unreasonable assumption that we should have learnt from a previous crises. So surely the distributors and resellers behind Unified Communications (UC) based technologies would ensure their solutions are designed with previous lessons learnt?
