Yet another blabbering!

I am in BIAL now, leaving for a 24 day vacation to Bhubaneswar. It has been 8 months since I was there.

The last time I was in this airport, The WIFI speed was excellent, it was surpassing 1Mbps per user! But today it is so so slow. It can't even run the speedtest.net tests! Even the Draft saving feature of Blogger is failing sometime.

I wanted to write about hte CATastrophe on the 1st day 1st show. But that never happened, But in this leisurely time I would like to put my thoughts.

1. I don't know about the Test System Architecture, but then, was the load test never done?

2. From the news reports, I guess they used a Distributed Architecture, I mean individual servers for each test center, How come there were no backup servers?

3. Prometric says it was a virus attack. There has been no recent upsurge in virus activities lately. And even if it was a virus attack, Which I find hard to believe, it is pretty unlikely that only this particular s/w was targetted, because no one knew, except the developers, what the software is like. And again, had there been virus, the S/w wouldn't have started at the first place! (FYI : S/W engineers take help of Viruses all the time to cover up there fault, cause Laymen have no idea what a computer virus is.)

4. Don't you think IIM Profs, who are supposed to build Managers, don't even know how to manage a CBT is irony at its best!

5. But this Profs are like those idiotic Managers those never accept their fault even if it is there out in the open.

Signing out.
