Former IT Infrastructure/Cloud architect, engineer and project delivery guy - now work in tech/digital strategy/op model/sourcing and M&A. All opinions my own.

@publicaddress Yeah - despite government and consultant spend plummetting still a LOT of suits heading down daily. Might also be why 1 way tickets to WLG at 6:30 are $700+ on AirNZ unless you book weeks in advance. Been taking the 6AM Jetstar recently.

@HendoWest Huzzah! What a result. What an awesome addition and can hopefully ease the demand on Westwave. Selfishly also very close to home.

@HendoWest Pick 1-2 styles/colours from Farmers, K-Mart of somewhere that keeps them in stock then just buy way too many. As long as they match (or are close enough) then life is good.

Only exceptions being football/sports socks which again - buy way too many pairs.

@megisabella_ Raiders and Warriors because I enjoy pain and heartbreak.

@ChrisKeall I've seen this movie - The Mist (2007) - IMDb

@2degreesmobile - topped up my son's prepay with $30 using online form today, was charged $115 and he suddenly had an $85 plan active. Spoke to call centre and apparently my $85 is being refunded but how the heck does that happen?

So the combination of “Sponsored” being replaced by a teeny tiny “Ad” marker and what I can only imagine is a mass exodus of legitimate advertisers mean I now get anti-vax, random Christian rants and bizarre pro military tweets in my feed that look legit. #orsm

@Thoughtfulnz Worth it just to look at the graph each week after you complete it and go "huh, interesting".

@SwiftOnSecurity Don't miss the joys or processmonitor during install to track down all the random files, reg keys and other bits and pieces that were checked or changed when trying to track down an issue like this.

@aotearoa_ben @gnat But confident lies - the best type.

Well that’s one way to manage change….

Today FM PULLED OFF AIR. as Duncan and Tova explain the station and staff are being cut.
“We’ve been told to play music”
“This is it, folks!”

@eeleepet If you want to avoid losing years of your life and thousands of dollars run screaming from coffee youtube....

@HendoWest @BrookeLoader @tauhenare It’s OK to support a team that’s not the warriors - as your 2nd team.
Did you miss the conditions of residency for West Auckland?

@MalwareJake Even better if you just have 1 - so WHEN it fails or is compromised, stuff will definitely break with no redundancy.

[Jeff McLuckie @jeffmcluckienz]

@MalwareJake "best practice" is usually unburdened by realities like budgets, tech debt and human nature. They are useful as data to inform what's right for client and their context/environment.

@madbushfarm @juliajones110 Plant and Utilities?

[Jeff McLuckie @jeffmcluckienz]

@defnotdivy @SwiftOnSecurity I better stop here before it gets too specific but yes - took a while for team members to compare notes, even come up with that as a potential cause, write it off as ridiculous and then find enough proof to show it was at least likely.

[Jeff McLuckie @jeffmcluckienz]

@aaronbrazell @SwiftOnSecurity All the things those annoying auditors pull teams up for not being locked down that most it Ops teams scoff at…. Not to mention an IT team stretched to keep things humming in a 24/7 operation.

[Jeff McLuckie @jeffmcluckienz]

@aaronbrazell @SwiftOnSecurity Without getting too defensive (or too identifiable): Low security maturity on insider threats, suspicion only not enough to pursue, really odd behaviour at really weird intervals. Attack vectors were common - service accounts with desktop access and access to clear logs etc…
