So I wrote this about a colleague who asked me for a recommendation without providing much context for his request:
[NAME] is a bizzare [NATIONAL] with a firm grasp of security and how it should be implemented. He drinks like a fish and should not be approached without alcohol or food. Beware [NAME] at times of full moon and never present him with a network architecture that does not detail compliance and redundancy/HA solutions.
For some reason it’s still in his approval queue…
Can I copy and paste that for my recommendation of you? It’s a handy template 😉
@val: certainly, although I would prefer to be known for focusing on network security and defence-in-depth architectures, plus I don’t drink so much quantity as quality. 🙂
[GUESSED NAME]?
@Brad: nooope. 🙂
I know several people that this recommendation would apply to without any modification.
Umm, I saw this one go by one morning, and thought it could use some context (and spell checking, there is only one “z” in”bizarre”). I wouldn’t have described our mutual friend as bizarre: terse, opinionated, inclined to rather conservative suits, yes. Of course, you need to see him dance to get a sense of the whole person. And he has children, which can make even well balanced people a little odd.
