Act global locally: Localization VS Globalization



Looking at news like these (India reaps $23.6B in outsourcing revenue) makes me wonder what are we all doing (wrong) all this time?

Questions are (as usual) the triggers that need to be fired
  • So today call centers/back offices, tomorrow the whole operations?
  • How to stop it all?
  • What are we doing wrong all the time?
  • Can we stop it?
  • How will it affect our economy and socio-political status on the global arena?
And lots more (If you aren't asking these questions, you better start asking them like RIGHT NOW!!!

More of this in a few minutes...

OK so time is a bitch and I don't have it ;-). So I went ahead and podcasted about it.

More questions, we know vitualization is going to be the market driver for the year 2006 and beyond and VMware is doing great work at it. How will it help us look more locally than globally.

Ok so listen on...

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
