HERDING CATS & OTHER IT MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS Dave Platt once said "Managing senior programmers is like herding cats."

(read the articles here) If you haven't taken the virtual leap yet, we have even more information for you to digest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IS SOCIAL MEDIA MAKING US HOSTILE? According to a recent online survey by VitalSmarts four in five people believe incivility in social media is on the rise. At the same time it was announced this week that Facebook in South Africa has lost 1 million of it's users.

YOUR DOCUMENTS WHEREVER YOU ARE Did you know you can access the documents stored on your university network space (usually your h-drive) from anywhere in the world? No longer do you have to copy data on a dodgy flashdrive when you go overseas. To access your documents, just browse to http://storage.sun.ac.za, log in with your network username and password and you're ready to go. --------------------------------- Years ago it was the dancing baby, now it's the Harlem Shake - these silly, addictive internet video clips are called meme's and they're just as entertaining and random as their live siblings, flashmobs. |
