The Ides of March.. R.I.P. Dr.Rao

31/03/13 6:45pm

This week's a long weekend, being Easter weekend, one of my favourite holidays of the year as we get Friday and Monday off:)
Fiji 7s team's performance at Tokyo today with the USA was very concerning disappointing...     I can tell that the absence of Ilai Tinai probably had to do with the loss... not to mention Osea Kolinisau didn't show up in the quarter final with the USA... moving on... I would like to see some consistency in winnings in order to put my money on the World Cup in Moscow.. no Roman Candles today... 


I found lots of valuable stuff yesterday on InfoSec... pretty exciting!
I made friends with this guy who shall remain nameless and who's shared with me some insights into key business concepts, not that it's uncommon, but the info he provided was what I had been looking for the past 2 weeks - so its pretty cool.
I've completed 3 info-sec policies that I'll route for review and hopefully get it approved within the week.

By the way, have you ever wondered if there's a way where you can just remember one password that is really secure with strong encryption for all your 100 or so login credentials? Well, let me recommend to you LastPass, it's free, it's got multiple platforms, it's secure, it's safe, it's easier, did I say it's free..? I've been using it for over 12-months now and I have been at peace... :) believe me, I can be very sceptical on assurances but this one here has me grinning with envy.. Steve Gibson did an excellent in-depth review of every LastPass feature on his Security Now! podcast. I recommend giving it a listen: http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm
Scroll down to Episode #256 (or simply search the page for LastPass). Skip to about 50min in.

Yesterday I received from  my colleague,  the tragic news of our dear colleague from Yalamanchili International, (Dr.Ramamohanarao Surapaneni) commonly known as Dr.Rao, had passed away whilst holidaying in the West with his other colleagues from India... post mortem will be done first to determine the cause of death before he's escorted back to India..I'm sure those that have come to know him during his short stay would agree that he was a goodly man... always smiling. Well, the Lord giveth and He taketh away... R.I.P old friend. (what a sad way to end the month...)
