I went to Paradise and came back…

March 25th, 2006

Yes, really! Well ok, I was trying to catch your attention with this headline, it’s not quite as spectacular as it might sound – “Paradise” is a shopping district in Secunderabad, Hyderbad’s twin city. And I didn’t even really go there, I just passed through it on the way to the waterfront restaurant where we had a great dinner last Tuesday. But it sure got you interested, didn’t it?

Anyway, I’m back in Germany now, where it’s cold and wet and the weather isn’t quite as pleasant as it was in India. The training was a huge success, not so much because of me but because the circumstances forced me to make decisions that turned out to be really good, even though I wouldn’t have made them if I’d had another choice. So I guess that a lot of the experience of this training will actually help us improve future OM system administration trainings; we’re working on restructuring these anyway.

If you’re waiting for future non-personal articles, I can assure you that I’m working on a larger piece on the cultural and ethical aspects of DRM, based on the feedback I received on my last article and some further thoughts that they sparked. It’ll be a few days before it’s done, though, maybe I’ll slip in something on the recent sendmail vulnerability in the meantime.
