HI All,

TheOpsMgr is moving on from RBI at the end of the month… so if anyone knows of any good IT management jobs out there, let me know

I shall still be watching the divestment from the sidelines – I hope it all goes well for the grunts on the ground.

cheers,
Steve

Hi Marty,

Thanks for your iconoclastic support for DivestmentWatch – I will miss both you and Eunuch.

Hopefully we’ll have that beer over here one day

cheers,

I thought this day might come. They certainly wouldn’t want the truth to get out there, and I knew they’d work to squelch it. Meanwhile…we keep working, all while the folks way up the chain want us to be as sheep-like as possible. In one of our staff meetings recently, we were told that news stories we had found were “garbage” and anything we’d find on a blog was, too.

They’ve GOT to realize that the truth WILL become known. They can’t do anything about it, either.

TheOpsMgr is alive and well, still working at Totaljobs Group, and in future will focus his blogging on IT Operations… anyone want to know about ITIL?

Marty old chap,

Alas and alack! the home of our cosy little chats is no more!

Best of luck my dear boy – I did enjoy our sparring sessions. A bit like Alan Bates and Oliver Reed in front of the fire place!

He has posted several more posts since then.

A couple just this past weekend.

I checked it late last night here in the U.S. and it was up. So it went down this morning.

Something is amiss for sure. I was one of a
small handful of people that was actually contributing.

My guess is he got an ultimatum when he showed up for work this morning. Take it down or pack your stuff and get out.

Gee, what a surprise. No wonder they’re going out of business.
