I’m concentrating on ignoring the “cloud computing” virus everyone has caught. It’s like evolving from mainframes to desktops to client/server all over again.
I can’t imagine how sorry it must be to deal with multiple languages. Right now I’m lucky to be dealing with English only, but that will soon change, as well.

I’m going crazy with all the acronyms in IT: BCP, BIA, or DR. Let me say that I work in Italy for a French Bank: we have some specific Italians acronyms (i.e. DPS) and, worst of all, French acronyms that cover IT worldwide acronyms.

Ugh. And don’t get me started on Web 2.0 either – I know just what you mean. It seems everything in technology has to be brand new and improved within the last 5 minutes – and I guess new acronyms help foster that. Remember when Microsoft slapped a .NET label on every piece of software or hardware that wasn’t nailed down? Or when AJAX and JSON were the top buzz words, no one remembered they were really older technology put to new use and wider adoption. Good post, Eigen, you can be our resident Dvorak any time.

And I thought I had to put up with all these acronyms because that’s the name of the game. My pet peeve is Web 2.0. I don’t see how this is a new form of Internet. We’re just running new code. Whoop-de-do! Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do? Oh yeah, and come up with snappy acronyms to describe the same old story.
