Rough day at work...office politics with Operator and being framed for nothing.
Today was the worst day of my life at work.
I created one MSMQ installation manual with the use of Qset as shareware inside.
I share this installation document out of goodwill with my so-called collegues.
Then out of the blue, the MO shout an email say my manual is using unlicensed software Qset then he goes around forward to everyone in the email to my atonishment.
This software I found from the Internet. It is mainly for ease of creating private queues in windows 2003 that I suggested this in the installation guide because in windows 2003 , there is no simple way of creating queues. After installation on the server, it is clearly understooded that he should remove the evaluation software.
Then after this he shoot another email say I install firefox portable on His database server. Knowing perfectly well he is a DBA, and has easy access to all the database server, he "conveniently" provide a screenshot say I install the firefox on His db server, which I did not.
Every Tom *** and Harry out there knows that firefox is free. His so called unlicensed software is because firefox enable us developers to break His so-called hardening security and he is mad about it and cannot do anything about it. Even the internet option to change the internet proxy was disable in Internet explorer.
We only use firefox to check our URGENT production emails and fix problems BY finding solutions through Google. Deny us of internet access means reducing our productivity.
His so-called PARANOID security is going way too much that I cannot take it that I voice out even if we don't have internet access, USB thumb drives when plugged into servers will still spread virus....I am sure everyone knows that as an IT personnel.
A server is like a house. If you lock down the gate and throw away the key, how are you going to leave the house, may i ask?
There are limits to security and the level of lockdown that can be customised so much so that productivity is not affected.
