Re: [Skunkworks] [ISOC_KE] New Dates for the Stakeholder Forum to discuss the Laptop Project 4th July 2013 9 am to 5 pm Strathmore University Auditorium
by Barrack Otieno 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Dear Wangari, colleagues So far we don't have any implementation plan, ours is a response as a sector to a Presidential directive to ensure it is well implemented since the project will be funded by tax payers. We will prepare a report based on the week long discussions on the lists. In addition all stakeholders are invited to come up with position papers that will be included in the final document to be handed over to concerned parties in the government. I hope this helps.

Need i say more ? " How can we vote for KENIC when we can't use globally standard registrars like Gandi because KENIC won't allow registrars without a Kenyan address register domain names?" KENIC should integrate their services to world class registrars like open srs .to be ahead of the game partner with clientexec and such and watch themselves grow . Maybe then they can acquire the aforesaid status .

File Manipulation Query
by Bwana Lawi 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi guys, I have a file with over 30 million lines (Txn IDs) over a period of 11 years. I want to delete from that file (it's a flat file, not a db table) lines that dont begin with certain characters. Or alternatively, create another file for lines that begin with certain characters. The format of the ID is DATE:<SOME.SEQ.NOs>(Of course, there are multiple txns per day) So for instance it will have 20080101XXXXXXXX - For transactions done on 1st Jan 2008, 20130613XXXXXX for today's txn, etc My requirement is to get a list of transactions done say from Jun 2010 to Jun 2011. Therefore, I should somehow either: a) Create a new file by piping output of grep ^2010 and grep ^2011 (Challenge is how to get only for 2010[06,07,08.09,10,11 and 12] and not entire 2010. Same for 2011) b) Delete the lines that dont match a) above. I dont want to go this route. Tools available: Ubuntu 12.04 HP-UX 11.31 PS: I don't know if the subject matches my requirement but ...

Fwd: [ISOC] NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society Statement on the Importance of Open Global Dialogue Regarding Online Privacy
by Barrack Otieno 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Wende Cover <cover(a)isoc.org> Date: Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 7:28 PM Subject: [ISOC] NEWS RELEASE: Internet Society Statement on the Importance of Open Global Dialogue Regarding Online Privacy To: "isoc-members-announce(a)elists.isoc.org" < isoc-members-announce(a)elists.isoc.org> [Washington, D.C. and Geneva, Switzerland] The Internet Society has noted recent revelations regarding the apparent scope of U.S. government efforts to gather large amounts of end user information from U.S. Internet and telecom service providers for intelligence purposes. We are deeply concerned that the unwarranted collection, storage and potential correlation of user data will undermine many of the key principles and relationships of trust upon which the global Internet has been built. The impact of this action is not limited to U.S. users or companies, but has implications for Internet users around the globe.**** ** ** While government plays an important role in protecting its citizens and there is a need for better approaches to address online security, the Internet Society strongly believes that real security can only be realized within a broader context of trust and the respect of fundamental rights, such as privacy. The Internet Society, along with many other organizations and individuals around the world, expect governments to respect and protect the basic rights of their citizens – including the right to privacy both offline and online – as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.**** ** ** The U.S. Government has previously taken an active role in championing these rights in the international sphere. For example, the U.S. played a leadership role in the adoption of the Human Rights Council Resolution A/HRC/RES/20/8, which re-affirmed that fundamental rights are applicable to individuals’ activities in the online environment as well, including privacy and freedom of expression. This means that restrictions of rights should be exceptional and conform to internationally accepted criteria such as: provision by law; pursuing a legitimate purpose; proven as necessary and the least restrictive means required to achieve the purported aim. Users naturally have higher expectations of governments who have adopted these international standards.**** ** ** The Internet must be a channel for secure, reliable, private communication between entities and individuals. Consensus for internationally recognized data protection standards has been formed through agreements constituting key building blocks of online trust, including the *OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data*, the Council of Europe *Convention for the Protection of Individuals with Regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data*, the EU Data Protection framework, and the *APEC Privacy Framework and Cross Border Privacy Rules system.* **** ** ** Emerging revelations about alleged U.S. programs to gather information about Internet users raise clear questions about the extent to which individuals’ expectations of privacy have been compromised. This kind of collection of user information is at odds with the commitments governments around the world have made with respect to protection of personal data and other human rights. We would expect any government signing onto these principles to fully engage with its citizens in an open dialogue when seeking to achieve both the protection of individual rights and national security. We also need to challenge the view that there always has to be a trade-off between ensuring security and protecting users’ rights. **** ** ** The Internet Society is also deeply concerned that alleged programs and similar efforts by other governments will have a chilling effect on the deployment and adoption of technical solutions for establishing trusted connections online. This kind of trust-enabled infrastructure is needed to maintain global interoperability and openness. The Internet is global – the impact of programs like these is not limited to the specific country in question but rather reverberates across the globe to users everywhere.**** ** ** The revelations of recent days underscore the importance of an open global dialogue regarding online privacy in the realm of national security and the need for all stakeholders to abide by the norms and principles outlined in international agreements on data protection and other fundamental rights. Trusted interactions in cyberspace are critical not only for the future of the Internet, but also for continued innovation, economic and political progress and a vibrant global community. Users need clear and realistic expectations of online privacy that are respected by governments and enterprises alike, so that they can continue to use the Internet in ways that enhance all of society.**** ** ** http://www.internetsociety.org/news/internet-society-statement-importance-o… **** ** ** ** ** _______________________________________________ To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe, please log into the ISOC Member Portal: https://portal.isoc.org/ Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu. -- Barrack O.

Also, is there any information on which regulatory authorities will have control of the TLD sufficient to seize a .africa domain name?

Xbox 1 vs Ps4 battle of the titans
by Jimmy Thuo 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

It will be interesting to compare how the the above 2 products fair sales-wise when they start retailing later on this year. For the Sony PS4 it will be a classic test of whether incorporating consumer feedback in new products can better your product and indeed boost sales. The MS Xbox1 seems to dictate more on consumer perceptions leaving little freedom for the consumer. Already things look pretty bright for the ps4 but i guess only time will tell. -- Best Regards Jimmy Thuo

Ensuring Effective Implementation of the Laptop Project - The Key Variables (Day one What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)
by Barrack Otieno 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Listers, Over the past two weeks we have had animated discussions on various lists regarding the laptop project that is to be implemented by the Government. The outgoing permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Communication Dr. Bitange Ndemo and his education counterpart Prof. Godia attempted to join the discussion but could not provide substantive response since the discussion was not structured. As stakeholders in the ICT sector, we have decided to hold a five day online discussion to gather views in a structured manner. This will then be synthesized during a face to face meeting that will be hosted by Strathmore University. We expect the Cabinet Secretaries for Information and Communication, Education and their Principal Secretaries to join us in the face to face meeting. This discussion will take place over a five day period and will be as follows: 1. Day 1: What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes) 2. Day 2: What Educational Content would support the Knowledge Objectives above(examples of educ. content/software used) 3. Day 3: How would this be delivered and assessed? (Administrative & Institutional infrastructures at primary school levels) 4. Day 4: Maintenance & Disposal (issues of support, environmental concerns, etc) 5. Day 5: Wrapup and Way Forward (Key declarations, what next) *Today we start with day 1 * *What Knowledge/Skills do we expect std 1 Pupils to acquire (Learning objectives and outcomes)* -- Barrack O.

Problem with SYN flooding
by Simon Mburu 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello Skunks, I am having an issue with SYN flooding on a Sigtran USSD gateway. I keep getting the following message "Jun 6 18:20:09 ussd kernel: possible SYN flooding on port 5420. Sending cookies." thus making connection/listening to port 5420 impossible. I have tried increasing the the tcp_max_syn_backlog to 4096, 5012 and 65536 but to no avail. My sysctl -p looks like the below net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536 My netstat -tuna | grep SYN never shows entries more than 12. I have also noted that once i stop the gateway, the SYN flooding is no longer there thus removing the fear of outside attacks. What could my problem/solution. NB: I am trying to avoid solutions that will mean I have to recompile my kernel. Kind Regards, Frustrated Simon

Securely Developing on Mobile
by Alex Nyika 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Some few tips from the Facebook Engineering department. More than ever, people are using their mobile device as their primary means of accessing the Internet. This provides not only unparalleled access to information, but also millions upon millions of applications built by third party developers. This platform approach enables users to experience great apps built by developers both large and small. However, this decentralized platform approach only works if there are strong, industry-wide best practices around important app basics such as security. For this reason, we applaud the Federal Trade Commission for hosting its Public Forum on Threats to Mobile Devices and thank them for including Facebook in this important meeting. For everyone who couldn’t make the forum yesterday, we have documented some of the best practices for developing on Android and iOS, and we're excited to share them with other developers. >From the outset, it is important to note that making apps that are secure on Android and iOS is hard. When your application behaves in manner that is unintended, it creates security and privacy implications for the end user, and this might not be restricted to the confines of your app, but potentially across the device. Top risks include malware installed on the phone alongside your app, tools that allow malicious actors to snoop on device activity, and even malicious websites that can trigger actions in your app using custom URL schemes. The only way to ensure that your application is secure is to engineer your application for security from the ground up. Here are some recommendations to reduce vulnerabilities in your application: *1. Use HTTPS in a secure way* HTTPS can help you protect the privacy of user data against a man-in-the-middle attack, which could manifest as snooping on data and stealing user sessions on the network. However, to obtain this protection your app needs to perform several steps to verify the server to which it is connecting, and this process is very error-prone. Even a small mistake in verification can result in no protection at all. Read more here - <https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/abstracts/ssl-client-bugs.html<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fcrypto.stanford.edu%2F%7Edabo%…> Android Instead of using the SSLSocketFactory classes, you should use APIs like HttpsURLConnection, which are simpler to use and perform the correct verification steps on your behalf. HttpsURLConnection also adds features (including TLS tickets and SNI headers, which only work correctly after Jellybean) to the HTTPS connection that gives you better performance than using raw SSL sockets. It should always be better to use this API. iOS Similarly, on iOS it is preferable to always use the high level API NSURLConnection for network requests. Lower level APIs such as CFStream need explicit and often error-prone configuration of SSL. Android and iOS To debug network requests with a proxy, such as Charles, you may prefer manually installing a SSL certificate in your testing device rather than using preprocessor variables and debug-only code to deactivate SSL validation. See more - <https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/faqs/ssl-connections-from-within-…<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.charlesproxy.com%2Fdocumen…> <https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> *2. There are No Client Secrets* Often, developers will spend time trying to obfuscate secrets in the application, which will be used to either authenticate their app to their server or to perform a client-side OAUTH flow. Trying to obfuscate a secret in Android and iOS clients is a futile effort as the secrets can always be recovered using the abundance of reverse-engineering and debugging tools available for APKs (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcode.google.com%2Fp%2Fandroid…>), Java (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAD_(JAva_Decompiler)<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJAD_…>), and Objective C (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://www.fscript.org/<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fscript.org%2F&h=kAQFWvEwp…> ). a. Authenticating an app to your server Often the goal of authenticating the app to the server is to prevent users from getting phished. A good solution to phishing is to support a two-factor authentication for your application. Facebook login approvals (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150172618258920) is an example of a large scale two-factor authentication solution that millions of people use daily. b. OAUTH Do not expose your OAUTH secrets to the world via your client application. Store the OAUTH secrets on your server so that they are indeed secret. To obtain an OAUTH token, the client would then request an end-point on your server that could proxy the token request to the OAUTH provider with the secret, and then, return the token to the client. Once the client obtains the OAUTH token, it can directly make requests to the OAUTH provider. *3. WebViews* Android Some applications use Android WebViews and store cookies in the WebViews to access the remote servers. You should restrict the web-pages that can load inside your WebView with a whitelist. If you are only going to open pages from your domain in the WebView you should restrict those. This will prevent others from triggering the loading of local resources such as javascript:// urls and file:// urls, which can be used to XSS users on Android. (Read more here – ( http://www.80vul.com/android/android-0days.txt<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.80vul.com%2Fandroid%2Fandr…> ) iOS In the simple case, a UIWebView is just a web browser tab sharing its cookie storage with the app. However, more complex interactions are often needed between the embedded JavaScript and the app. This is usually done by having the app catch and interpret URLs of a special scheme in the outgoing requests of the WebView. These interactions must be carefully reviewed. In particular, a. if the webview is meant to browse the web, it should not be given large privileges over the native app; b. if they include user-controlled strings (this typically includes the initial URL and any string injected in the Javascript environment using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString) make sure to sanitize the native inputs of webviews *4. Tap-Jacking* Android Other applications can overlay content over your application, and fool users into clicking buttons on your app underneath. To prevent this consider setting the setFilterTouchesWhenObscured (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setFilterTouc…<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.android.com%2Frefere…>) property to true in your views. This will prevent your application from getting touches when another application is obscuring it. iOS Proofs of concept exist on iOS as well (<https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/securely-developing-on-mob…> http://www-personal.umich.edu/~yangqi/pivot/mobile_phishing_defense.pdf<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww-personal.umich.edu%2F%7Eya…>) although this issue should concern only jailbroken devices. *5. Race Conditions onInstalling Apps* Permission stealing [Android] Other apps that are installed before your app, could steal android permissions (including signature level permissions) that you have declared in your manifest by declaring them before you. Your app will function normally, but as a result of this, malware that steals permissions could snoop into all of your app's content providers and other components. To prevent this, reduce both the exposure of components and also explicitly authenticate the callers of your components. Stealing of URL schemes [iOS] Except for a core subset managed by iOS, URL schemes are registered on first-come, first-served basis. *6. Controlling Exposed Features* Activities, services and broadcast receivers [Android] You should aim to expose as little of your application as possible to other applications that are potentially malicious. Not setting intent-filters on components, or explicitly setting "exported=false," will cause components to be local to your application. This is the most effective way of protecting components. Make sure that before any action that changes the state of your app is taken, the user performs a UI action like clicking a button (this is analogous to CSRF protection in web applications). It is dangerous to perform a write action based on an intent extra passed into a component. Exposed URL schemes [iOS] Similarly, iOS apps should not perform state-changing actions on processing URLs without asking for confirmation from the user. *7. Watch Out for Internal URL Schemes.* In addition to exposed URL schemes, it is common to define custom URL schemes internally to an iOS or Android app so as to let trusted sources trigger specific actions. Android When using custom URL schemes in intent filters, be cognizant of the fact that they can be triggered by not only apps installed on the device, but also malicious websites that the user opens in the browser by simply clicking on a link. This triggers an ACTION_VIEW intent for the URL that was clicked, so that the user does not need to install malware for the malware to exploit a particular component if it has another vulnerability. iOS Make sure to distinguish internal URLs created by trusted sources from public URLs callable by external apps or made clickable in user contents. The library class NSDataDetector does not restrict the schemes of URLs detected in user contents. *8. Authenticating Callers of Components* * * Android a. Activities Consider calling activities that need to know their caller using startActivityForResult(). The calleeActivity can then enforce the identity of the caller using getCallingPackage()and ensures that is non-null and the package that it expects. A signature check using PackageManager is the most effective way of ensuring the caller is from the same app family as the callee. b. Content Providers The user id of the caller can be obtained using Binder.getCallingUid(), and can be used for permission enforcement via signature checks. c. Broadcast Receivers There is no current way to get the identity of the initiator of the broadcast. For system broadcasts, ensure that you check the action string of the incoming intent to make sure an intent is coming from the system. d. Services Services can enforce the callerusing Binder.getCallingUid() and using signature checks. However services using the messaging IPC mechanism cannot get the caller uid in the handleMessage() callback. Consider using AIDL-based service calls for exposed services. iOS Rather than UIApplicationDelegate:application:handleOpenURL:, you may want to implement UIApplicationDelegate:application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation: and use the sourceApplication to authenticate a URL caller over time. To mitigate spoofing of callers' URL schemes, the Facebook SDK also lets callers to the main app choose an encryption key for their response. *9. Use explicit intents andIntent hijacking [Android]* If private data is being transmitted in an intent, use explicit intents. Explicit intents ensure that the callee receiving the intent will be the one that the caller intended to receive the intent. Android provides ways to call components using implicit intents, however, keep in mind implicit intents could allow a malicious application to hijack the intent. If using implicit intents, you should dynamically resolve the receivers of the intent and perform signature checks before sending the intent. "setPackage" is also an option, which restricts the package that can receive an intent. However, this works only after Ice Cream Sandwich. *10. Open redirects* You could protect all your components with permissions and checks, however if there exists even one component in your application that takes a component as an input and redirects to that component, this could be used to circumvent all checks. Avoid this practice at all costs. *11. SQL injection* Android SQLLiteQueryBuilder is a standard way of building SQL queries for Android. However even though it seems to be safe against SQL injection attacks, underneath the hood its imply concatenates strings. This allows attackers to insert arbitrary clauses into the SQL statement. You must carefully sanitize user input strings to content providers that are exposed. iOS You should refrain from constructing SQL query strings directly and instead use a more abstract framework such as EGODatabase or FMDB. *12. Language-Based Vulnerabilities[iOS]* Objective C is susceptible to a variety of programming errors that can be exploited: * C fragments are vulnerable to the classical C vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows. * Zombie objects may be exploited. * User-dependent inputs occurring in format strings, selectors, or regular expressions may be exploited. * It is important to keep in mind that static types appearing in the code are not enforced at runtime. * Returning nil values on failures and unimplemented selectors is often ok. Yet, unexpected nil values can cause a crash with some library functions, and can yield unpredictable results in general (for instance [nil isEqualToString:nil] == 0). -- Kind regards, Alex Nyika

ISP - engineering role
by John Gitau 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

A local ISP very high growth is looking for an experienced engineer to join their team. You absolutely MUST have a CCNP (their network their requirements) and some experience specifically with BGP and OSPF. Again those two are a must know - hence the ccnp requirement on the assumption you didn't dump your way through it. Either way the interview process will ensure this wont be an issue. It would help if you have sat through a routing class with afnog or isoc or any of my past routing classes:-) Base remuneration should start at 130k and your powers of persuasion can probably get that higher. Much much higher. If interested and feel you meet the criteria, please forward send me an email jgitau(a)gmail.com stating your interest and I'll put you through to the right people. JGitau

Think they domicile accounts to specific regions to assist in tracking suspicious activities. They most likely keep a history of where you are located the last 6 hours and if account show up across the other side of the world all of a sudden, it could indicate account hijacking. Seen that on Facebook too. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't see what's in a friends profile. A friend of mine just sent her password to get around the problem and I couldn't log on to her Facebook account. The only possible explanation was the geographic distance.

Server Hosting

Dear skunks. Advise on the above who gives a decent service locally on data center services. Not sure about: Queen Bee - a friend had to migrate a hosting from there to Int'l because service was not so good KDN - that they cannot give reliable links, can their hosting be any better? AK - ? IS - ? A common limitation on all the above is that they give ISP specific links, so what about redundancy? Anybody with some servers hosted locally that has a good report to give? BR, M. Mugo

Burglaries and break - in's
by matere lusitche 30 May '13

Hallo Guys, There has been a spate of robberies in our sub-location from a break-in at the Church to a farmer's 300 chicken being stolen . We need simple security gadgets that can be linked to our phones or have an alarm or a bright light. Since the stuff being stolen are quite expensive (100 k+ ) I am am sure farmers will be ready to pay between 5 k and 20 k for a security system. There definitely is a market for such gadgets all over kenya. Not very high tech but very relevant to us Thanks

Anyone with CISCO Zuku adapter ??
by TheBigBoss 30 May '13

30 May '13

I don't know if you heard about the Zuku powersurge story. Yesterday evening, back home, I found a dead modem :( Zuku said this morning that following the national KPLC blackout/powersurge, the adapter got damaged and that many customers have similar problem. Wait, they charge 1200 kshs for a new adapter and they don't have them in stock !!!! So, anyone here with a solution, a place to get a new adapter for those cheap CISCO modem. Thanks

Re: [Skunkworks] List of words or phrases in Swahili plus their English equivalents
by Martin Chiteri 30 May '13

Hello Harry, Thank you for your pointer. We have decided to take a slightly different approach. What we will do is to pull text from different entries on Wikipedia in both Swahili and English. After that we will make computer(s) go through them in the hope that they will start to recognize patterns in the way words are used, how often, where and check maybe the rules of spelling and the general structure of sentences (grammar) in both languages. >From what I have been informed, this is what usually happens with data from the CMS experiment <http://home.web.cern.ch/about/experiments/cms>. You can get a rough idea of the ``type" of event (proton-proton collision) even if you don't know exactly what happened to the quarks when they collided. Martin.

List of words or phrases in Swahili plus their English equivalents
by Martin Chiteri 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hello Skunks, I would like to request for a substantial amount of words, phrases or sentences written in Swahili together with their equivalents in the English language. I know this is a tall order but I guess that some people on these lists might have samples, perhaps from projects done for translations (Bible / Website / stand-alone systems internationalization efforts and so forth). The aim is to get enough material that will be used in a machine learning based project in an upcoming Hackathon next month. We would like to train machines to recognize phrases in the different languages then attempt to use similar techniques to make them detect various sub-atomic particle types from another set of Physics data. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Martin.

Why are people skeptical to use such services here in Kenya? Do we even have a local solution similar to the above? Thanks ./JB

10 reasons for quitting IT
by wa 28 May '13

28 May '13

Raise your hand if you’ve nearly quit your job on at least a few occasions. Go on. You don’t have to be shy. We all know that IT is one of the more stressful careers you can choose. And unfortunately, universities don’t teach you coping mechanisms for getting through the days/weeks/months that can turn into long years. Let’s take a look at a few reasons you might decide to leave that beloved career in IT.1: Stress Don’t let anyone ever tell you that a career in IT is easy going. It’s a rare occasion that someone will have a job in the IT field where there isn’t stress. Remember, IT is *disaster management*. When a client or user calls you, it’s almost always an emergency that must be taken care of immediately. And when you are working on those jobs, you had better get everything right, as failure could cost you a contract or a job. What makes this worse is that the stress rarely lets up. Every minute of the day, you are working and working harder than you might expect. 2: Hours If you want a Monday through Friday, 9-to-5 job, look elsewhere — IT seems to be a job you carry around with you 24/7. Not only do you put in more hours in the office (or the field) than your average professional, you also have to work outside the office to keep your skills up and make sure you’re better than the guy standing next to you. And the people who aren’t your clients or users (friends and family, for example) will want to take advantage of your knowledge and keep their computers running smoothly for free. 3: Getting paid If you are an independent contractor, one of the most stressful issues you face is getting paid. I can’t tell you how many consultants I know who have had to make threats or use an attorney to get paid. And when you’re freelancing, if they don’t pay you, you don’t eat. That is some serious stress there. You don’t have the advantage of having that regular check coming in weekly or biweekly. Honing your interpersonal skills is key to keeping those relationships as good as possible. Good relationships (even with not-so-good people) will go a long way to make sure you do eventually get paid. 4: People (in general) This one I hate to mention. A long time ago, I was a positive, upbeat, people-loving kind of person. But after being in the consulting business, I’ve found myself getting taken advantage of, used, abused, unpaid, underpaid, unappreciated, and more. It’s a constant fight to resist wanting to retreat to the woods and off the grid. That is not to say that people, in general, are bad. It’s just that when you have your IT hat on, people seem to look at you in a different light. You are both savior and sinner in one stressed-out package. 5: The chain of command Let’s face it. Not many higher-ups understand your job. They think you should be able to get everything done on a shoestring budget, with no help, and you should treat end users as if they were better humans than yourself. And to make matters worse, the higher-ups want you to magically make those PCs last for more than a decade. This misunderstanding of both duty and technology does one thing: It makes your job impossible. When the powers-that-be begin to micromanage your department for you, every single bad element is exacerbated. You know your job and you know you know your job. Management does not know your job, but they don’t know they don’t know your job. It’s all a vicious Mobius strip of stress. 6: Technology Have you ever had one of those days when it seems like the whole of technology has rebelled against you and it looks like the singularity might very well be on the horizon? Those days will have you wishing you were walking out of the building with your belongings in a cardboard box. This has been one of the issues I have had to deal with since working with a consultancy that deals primarily with Windows clients. It seems that entropy has a strong hold on the Windows operating system, and every day is a battle to keep PCs and systems working. Some days you win that battle, some days you lose it. The days you win are always lost in the pile of days you lose. 7: Competition One thing you can count on — there will always be someone better than you. But in the IT industry, it isn’t a 1:1 ratio. Instead, it seems that for every one of you there are one hundred IT pros who are smarter, faster, and better equipped. That ratio is quickly realized in dollar signs. Remember, the IT landscape is constantly changing, and if you can’t keep up, you may not be hired or remain employed. The longer I am in this business, the more I realize it’s a young person’s game. Being as agile as necessary, being able to work the necessary hours… it all adds up. I’m not saying us older folks can’t run with the pack. We can. But every day we work is another day even more competition is added to the field, and the competition is fierce. 8: The cloud Every time I hear an actor on TV speak the phrase “to the cloud” I want to pull out my hair and kick in the television. The cloud has been one of those aspects of IT whose definition has been, and probably always will be, in flux. What exactly is the cloud? Should I be using it? Is the cloud safe? How much does the cloud cost? I get hit with these questions all the time. Generally, I just answer by asking the clients if they’ve used Google Docs before. If they say “yes,” I tell them they are already using the cloud. But that is never satisfying. Clients and end users want the cloud to be some magical experience that will make all their work easier, better, and faster. If only they knew the truth. 9: Lack of standards Our lives would be infinitely better if some sort of standards could be applied, across the board, in IT. Many open source projects have done everything they can to achieve a set of standards, only to be knocked down by proprietary software. Those proprietary software vendors want to keep their code closed and not compliant with standards so they can keep their bottom line as padded as possible. I get that, I really do. But while they are refusing to conform to any sort of standard, they are causing end users and IT pros any number of horrendous headaches on a daily basis. There is no reason why standards can’t be followed without preventing proprietary software vendors from making a killing. 10: Respect The general public has a bad taste in its mouth for IT professionals. Why? There are many reasons. They’ve been burned before. They’ve been ripped off before. They’ve had consultants who only seemed to want to sell them bigger and better things. So long has this gone on, and so jaded has the public become, that IT pros have a hard time earning respect. Oh sure, when they see you walk in the door you are their best friend… for the moment. But the minute you get that one “impending doom” issue resolved, it’s time to go off on you or insist you do more than they hired you to do (or more than you have time to do). Thinking about quitting? Are the downsides of working in IT starting to outweigh the positive aspects of your job? What career would you pursue if you left IT?

Re: [Skunkworks] 10 reasons for quitting IT (MotoBaridi)

Teh teh..my friend i admit my post was completely a grammatical mess.It was all because of reasons that i should not explain here.It would sound more of political correctness. Well, I just wanted to say this.I have experienced everything from number 1-10.I have learned a lot from customer side(especially their behaviors and priorities),to an extent that i can point out abusive clients. And my answer to calls from some clients was "The only service i can offer is ,uninstalling everything for free while cancelling the outstanding balances". Reactions from their side: Some decided to pay and go back to the terms,others were just shocked to realize that,they are the one who should act responsibly. Thank you.

Someone told me that there is optimal RAM and beyond that a machine will be virtually wasting the rest of the capacity and might not utilise it. Anyone know details on this?
