I use my own self-written Golang tools to parse the RSS/Atom feed files and send myself the entries in an email.

Story Time: Job #5: Part 3: Managed Security Provider - Monitoring
Introduction Monitoring.. I had not had much exposure to monitoring so far in my career at this point. Either because I was on the Helpdesk and so our monitoring consisted of a user phoning us up to complain that "$THING IS DOWN!!".. or because there was already a mature monitoring set-up (or monitoring was siloed off into their own team). This story is similar to the last part about Email in that there was a Monitoring set-up.

March 2008 – Oct 2009 Introduction As I said in the last part: It appeared to have been frozen in time. Almost all the Unix servers were running ancient versions of Solaris (versions 8 or 9 - 2000 or 2002 vintage - and this was 2008) on anemic SPARC hardware. I don’t think anybody dared touch it, as nobody understood how it worked. Our email set-up was the biggest fire we had to put out.

Story Time: Job #5: Part 1: Managed Security Provider
March 2008 – Oct 2009 Introduction As I said in the last part, this was a step up. A real step up. It was a tiny company, only 10 people, so a lot of responsibilities and nowhere to hide. I did really want to get into Security, Networking, Unix/Linux, and this seemed like a great opportunity. The downsides though were that MSP (as I will call them), were, as a company, not doing great.

One-Click Email Unsubscribe.. with curl
An annoying pattern about giving a company an email address (especially one that isn’t in a country subject to the GDPR), is that I often will get opted-in, without my consent, to a spam list. I am pragmatic and accept that I’m going to hit unsubscribe once (and no more than once) before I block the tagged email address I’ve given the company… but often when I do click unsubscribe I get this awful workflow:

Story Time: Job #4: Part 2: Promoted Then Poached
Oct 2007 – March 2008 Be Careful What You Wish For.. So, in our last part I wrote about how I got promoted up to the halycon heights of the Infrastructure Team. I wrote about the Cons of the promotion: Cons: David would be my manager (..and he had a very poor reputation) Their On-Call was awful (and Christmas/New Years was coming up) My plan to skip their 🎄 Christmas On-Call worked.
