computerworld.comIt's a busy time at this big software vendor when a must-fix bug report comes in on a legacy product, reports a pilot fish on the inside."Our system was very stable and we were making great strides at adding functionality to our new product," fish says. "No one wanted to take the time to go back and fix an old problem."The issue was not actually coding the fix, but following the old release process. That was going to be very time consuming."After many efforts, we couldn't convince management that the issue should be closed with no plans to fix."Two developers were identified as candidates to fix the problem. The first was the former owner of the code, and the other was the tech lead. Both knew the system and the old release processes. Each gave good arguments on why the other person should perform the work.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comIt was the day that my new dryer pinged me to let me know the clothes were dry that I realized the notifications thing had gotten out of hand.Don’t get me wrong.

Thank God, though, that our new refrigerator, stove and microwave did not follow suit.If you give them free rein, the notifications on your phone, tablet, Mac, PC and other electronic devices from email, texts, calendars, social media, content providers, newsletters, apps and operating systems, to name a few sources, will keep you up half the night, render you mute with bewildering noises, invade your screen space when you’re trying to do something else, confuse you with duplicate or even contradictory messages - in short, they will quickly become your taskmaster. Especially if you are like me and your OCD tendencies make you feel you must look...

computerworld.comBudgets are really tight these days at the company where this sysadmin pilot fish works, and that has consequences."Since we can't hire new people to backfill for those who leave, we've resorted to remote administration and other such tricks to balance workloads," fish says. "Also, repairs are sometimes postponed longer than may be advisable."Late one afternoon, fish gets an instant message from a colleague at another building: One of his servers in fish's building has crashed, and it doesn't have a remote console yet, so can fish please reboot it?No problem. Fish walks down the hall to the data center and brings the server back up.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comAs enterprises push ahead with mobile-first strategies – and employee smartphones and tablets increasingly become business tools – the importance of mobile threat defense (MTD) is growing.Using mobile threat detection and defense, however, is no small task; the technology must cover applications, networks and device-level threats to iOS and Android phones and tablets to be effective."We talk about mobile threat defense, rather than detection – the reason being these solutions not only detect, but also can prevent and remediate threats," said Dionisio Zumerle, research director for mobile security at Gartner.[ Further reading: What is EMM? Enterprise Mobility Management explained ]The MTD market is growing in terms of adoption, and has started to attract attention from endpoint protection platform (EPP) vendors and in other related markets, according to a recent report from Gartner.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comDatabase admin pilot fish is working for this city government on a contract basis, telecommuting to do most of his work overseeing the SQL Server databases, with just occasional trips in to the office."I had an encounter with the storage area network admin regarding backups for the ERP database," says fish. "SQL Server DBAs tend to be paranoid and protective, and most of us prefer not to use third-party backup solutions and to stick with Microsoft's tool -- it's as close to 100 percent reliable as you can get, and we all know how to work with it."But the SAN admin wants to use Microsoft's enterprise backup tool, and he won't give fish access to the tool so fish can run tests and become confident in the tool's reliability for doing restores.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comWindows 10's rapid release machinery and short-lived support schemes showed some strain in 2017, as Microsoft reduced the number of annual feature upgrades and felt enough pressure to extend the lifespan of a 2015 version well into next year.But the radical release-and-support strategy, which Microsoft asserts has transformed Windows into a service, has not resonated with every customer. Windows 10 upgrades come too frequently, leaving too little time for adequate compatibility testing of critical applications. Support is too fleeting, with each upgrade maintained for just 18 months, theoretically requiring seven migrations during the same timespan when previously only one was necessary.To read this article in full, please click here...
