Two years ago I blogged about an unsettling experience I had with Apollo, a firm that had confused me as to what they were really all about. Since then, I’ve had a number of emails from people who have had similar experiences. Today, I’m reprinting (most of) the most recent one – which comments about an organisation called Apollo-Transitions. Surely, this is not the same company as the Apollo company I had encountered?

Over the past several years, I have reviewed DB2 for z/OS systems running at quite a few client sites. Part of the analysis work I do in performing these reviews involves looking over a DB2 subsystem's DSNZPARM values (or ZPARMs, for short -- the parameters through which the set-up of a DB2 system is largely specified). I have seen that certain ZPARM parameters are very regularly set to values that are not ideal.

Following ratification of the Bill by Royal Assent, which is expected before the end of 2016, the Bill will officially become law in the UK. The draft of the Bill has sparked controversy, as it will hand significant and wide-ranging powers to state surveillance agencies, and has been strongly criticized by some privacy and human rights advocacy groups. .

Don’t blame ‘The Things’. p.butler@cgi.com. Mon, 11/14/2016 - 04:00. It is a natural human reaction when something goes wrong, or an accident occurs, to seek to attribute responsibility or blame. Whether it’s an industrial accident, transport disaster or how little Jonny had his tooth knocked out, the sequence of events is much the same; shock at what has occurred, hasty judgements as to the cause and then an extended period of investigation to identify lessons to avoid it happening again.

Well, a recent lunch with a chum who is closer to the minds of the policy-making and legal elites within the EU reminded me of the deep cultural divide that exists inside the Brussels bubble.
