Blogs down⤴

I am sad to say we have detected a security incident affecting the popular blogging service blogs.ed. Our investigations currently indicate that unknown parties may have gained unauthorised access to some user data.

As soon as the incident was identified, the excellent LTW service teams sprang into action  to prevent further intrusion. No other services are currently known to have been affected during this incident.

The team is working urgently to complete the investigation and provide a timeline for restoration of service.

Suddenly there is so much to write and reflect.

What it means to be visionary⤴

from

I’m working on a project where we’re trying to inspire engineers to think beyond improving the existing objects and services in our world, and invent what we don’t even know we don’t even know yet. We’re getting them to bump into their own unknown unknowns. 

This Steve Jobs video, above, is from 1997, where he describes in anecdote how he has created, over the seven prior years, what we know today as cloud computing. And yet, even today, there are plenty of institutions that struggle with the notion of putting everything “up there”, where it is faster to access and safe(r) from loss. 

So the question is this: do you want to be a visionary, or follow one for an exciting ride, or be around nearly twenty years later questioning the vision of those who went off and did it?
