How I Became a Proactive and Customer-Focused Technology Expert
Introduction:
Throughout my career in technology, I have developed a unique set of skills and expertise that have allowed me to deliver exceptional results for my clients and employers. In this blog post, I will share some of my experiences and highlight the key themes that have defined my approach to technology and customer service.
Recovering a Multi-Million Pound Operation:
At Link House Publications Ltd, we faced a significant challenge when IBM upgraded its storage to include parity drive on a System/38. The system manager had been trailing new software called Manage, which kept trying to recover the system from the disk instead of tape. Even the IBM engineers did not know how to resolve the problem. This threatened to cause major financial losses to the company. However, I was able to edit the startup routines for the mainframe and allow the system to restore from tape, preventing a catastrophic financial loss.
Preventing Data Breaches Before They Were a Thing:
In the late 80s, when cyber security wasn't even a term, I prevented a potential data breach at Link House Publications Ltd by ensuring that the directors' secretaries did not throw their old printer ribbons in the trash. This is because the text generated by the ribbons was still visible, and sensitive information could have been leaked. By taking proactive measures, I was able to prevent a potential security breach.
Going Above and Beyond for Clients:
At RGH Associates Ltd, I was asked to "handle the fort" while the staff was away. I used my expertise to handle all the calls in the helpdesk and went beyond the call of duty to look up other calls for the sites and fixed the problems too. When the staff returned, they were impressed that all the tasks were resolved, and Airtours Ltd was so impressed that they provided us with a new contract for their ships.
Building Strong Client Relationships:
During a training session in Turkey, I impressed JMC Holidays trainer by creating a training environment using Net Support Manager that all the machines could be seen. He was so impressed that he recommended my services to his new firm, FirstChoice Holidays Ltd. This led to a new contract, demonstrating the value of building strong relationships with clients.
Conclusion:
My experiences highlight the importance of being proactive, developing technical expertise, and going above and beyond for clients. By taking the initiative, understanding complex systems, and providing excellent customer service, I have been able to deliver exceptional results throughout my career. These skills have not only helped me succeed in my job but have also helped me build long-term relationships with clients, leading to new business opportunities and greater success for my employers.
This is why people turn to me, for a quick and easy solution, to their problems.

Microsoft Bing Webmaster Tools ban site with Malware
As a Microsoft Partner, selling and servicing their products, does not stop Microsoft from banning 1st Line Support's main website, so this is a back door.
There is no Malware on the 1st Line Support's website, but they have decided to put it anyway.
Having now look at the issue, which many web developers find themselves, being banned for no reason.
Microsoft should always provide a reason for such a ban, but they do not care.
You cannot contact Microsoft about this, as their support options, do not have an option for this!
So to help facilitate getting my sites at least available to my clients I have has to create this post so, I can get my clients to link to me, if they use Bing search.

The climate has changed
Hopefully everyone has noticed how nice the weather has been over the past few weeks. The earth is healing.
It is really important, for people to realize the effect they have on the planet. If we all make an effort, we can all have an effect.
Anyone that want us to get back to where we were, should have a think, if you take out your ICE vehicle, you are killing those around you, including yourself and your family, neighbours, friends and anyone else who lives in the firing line! There is a better way to do things, maybe just reduce the number of journeys you make in a week, every journey has a direct effect, which can be seen.
It is time for all to create that future, we all dream of, we have the opportunity of a lifetime, so start talking and figuring out a better future, for all.

British Government lying over Iran
You would think that the British Government might consider their situation, since they have lied over the Russian's and Syria, now we have Iran, what is wrong with the powers that be, are they completely mad? They think that we are, well, here's a lesson, we do not believe you.

Value of items after you buy them
When you buy anything from a shop, once you leave the shop, the real value of your new purchase is normally halved.
However, there is only one item that actually does not follow this trend, the purchase of a house. Some people say it is supply and demand, but that is not true.
It is your choice to allow this to happen, but on top of this, then based on your request, a bank will create the money from your purchase and then charge you for it, then use that to allow them to make more money. However, you can never truly payback all your borrowings, since they only create the money from your purchase, you have to come up with the payment of the interest, but they did not actually physical make extra money for you to use!

Facebook Spam
Recently, due to security concerns about FaceBook, on removing the account with them, suddenly out of nowhere, spammers start trying to send Spam emails to the Facebook email address. I can tell this because they have had, a unique email address. So effectively, I have Opted out, under the New GDPR guideline, they should not be releasing my email address, but obviously they have. Bad show FaceBook.
What is more worrying, is that if you have never had a Facebook account, you can guarantee they hold data about you, but you have had no chance to Opt In or Out from their procedures, meaning your data is effectively freely available for them to do what they want with it.
Under the new GDPR, this collection of data, without giving you the options, will be illegal, in Europe. Unfortunately, they do not reside in Europe, so they only need to apply this restriction, on European members, from 25 May 2018.

Up and coming Dub Raggie band, DubHeart
Was great to see a local band doing well on national television,
DubHeart in the UK's Best part-time Band competition, on BBC 4.
To start with, their first interview went well, with good comments coming from the presenters, so they were asked to come and perform in front of a live audience.
They were the first act on the stage and rightly warmed up the audience and basically, won the night.
So they were through to the grand final, again they played a great set, but unfortunately were pipped at the post, but as they say, taking part is the important part of this show.
Well done, DubHeart, as always, you were the best to us. And now other can see too.
More of their music can be obtained from Karnatone Records

Chilean Volcano
Yesterday, the Volcano in Chile erupted, I commented to a friend, that we should expect an earthquake on the other side of the world, expecting Turkey or similar, but today an earthquake in Nepal, that was a quick reaction by the earth.
What can we expect next? If the earth sneezes, we have to be ready!

Fracking Mad
This government is fracking mad. Recently, we have been faced with mass flooding, how will this work with fracking? Sure, fracking needs plenty of water, but not that flooding would provide. With excess water on the ground and with fracking under it, this WILL cause a break down of the soil and rocks that makes up the UK, fragmenting the ground. So Scotland's independence, will be physical as well!

Bournemouth Air Festival is back
Nice to see the Air Show back, but for the fourth year running they hide the live stream from the event, their claim is, they know where it is, but that doesnt help the rest of us. Come on Bournemouth Air Festival, get it together and maybe next year you can provide the link without being asked!

FinSpy by Gamma
Having just watched a news report on the BBC 6 oclock news, about a product called FinSpy by Gamma. In my opion companies such as this creating viruses for police and defence are actually more of a threat to the everyday user than the report indicates. We can help remove such software or indeed other spyware. This type of software is bad for the entire industry and I would call for this company to be fined and closed down, at the very least.
