Jerry's Ramblings

Well the world after Y2K7 seems to be just fine. Planes didn't fall from the sky and the world did not stop ticking. Now it is onto the daily lives of IT to manage, develop and maintain the industry of tomorrow.

For everyone who was late in preparation for the DST2007, that may have been a good wake up call to the type of political changes that can have an effect on the IT industry. Just as I had figured, many (may I stress MANY) resources could be found around the internet to alleviate any issues that may come about.

Also, for many it was a wake up call and a harsh reality that some software developers will not support or give patches for their products.... well unless you have $4k to spend. Now would be a great time, if any, to upgrade and update operating system and software packages that act as the backbone for your business infrastructure.

I plan on developing a deployment plan for the company I am currently employed. At this time the heart of our organization still rests on Windows Server 2000. Being that my position as CIO at this corporation has lasted only a greater portion of 3 months, I feel it would be best to roll out at least Windows Server 2003 by Q3 or Q4 of this year.
