  • IT’s Effects on the Evolution of the Job Market

    Editor Note: This was first published on May 31, 2010.

    Some time ago I tweeted on the observation that Information Technologies tend to be destructive to jobs overall, and was rather surprised at the number of responses I received to that comment. As I've found that trying to argue a thesis that broad over Twitter can be an exercise in Haiku minimalism, the post came into being to explain a bit more my thinking here, and to suggest that IT's influences are THE primary engine driving the nature of work in the 21st century.

  • XML Database Security and Recovery

    Editor Note: This was originally published Feb. 10, 2010.

     Over the weekend, a client of mine was hacked, part of what seems to have been a broad, rootkit based attack that took out a number of sites in what appeared to be prep work for zombification of servers for spam delivery. I won't give out the details of this particular incident, as we're still trying to figure out the exact exploit, but it brought to light a few facets of emergency preparedness that should be thought about when dealing with XML databases in particular.
