Squirrel - the World of Things


Squirrels, which can climb trees faster than what they can run, often forget where they have hidden acorns resulting in these germinating and becoming trees.
These rodents are relative new comers to life on earth. Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel in the movie Ice Age, is a fictional animal as sabre-toothed squirrels did not exist.
Important dates: 15th March, 2002 (the movie Ice Age is released); 31st March, 2006 (the sequel Ice Age: The Meltdown is released); 1st July, 2009 (the sequel Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaurs I released); 2012 (release of Ice Age: Continental Drift); November 2017 (launching of PowaINFRA - an awesome Internet of Things).

ITIL mentions the Major Incident process as a special case of the incident management process as well its close relationship to problem management.  However, the Major Incident process requires greater clarity and specification as in many large enterprises the process is crucial for overcoming a crisis. A Major Incident typically defined as an incident with severe negative business consequences and an important duty of any designated Information Technology (IT) resources is to deal with Major Incidents in a structured manner.  We will address this important topic in a series of articles that specifically addresses the process and crisis management in general.

Using OPENDNS on a Mikrotik

At the office we use a Mikrotik which is connected via fibre to Cool Ideas .  We use OpenDNS as a Information Security tool.  It prevents ransomware and bots from becoming major incidents within the office. The router is scheduled to do a daily update via script of the OpenDNS settings.  Below is the example: :local opendnsuser "user@domain.co.za"; :local opendnspass "itsprivate"; :local opendnshost "office"; :log info "OpenDNS Update"; :local url "https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update"; /tool fetch url=($url . "\3Fhostname=$opendnshost") user=("$opendnsuser") password=("$opendnspass") mode=https dst-path=opendnsupdate.txt :local opendnsresult [/file get opendnsupdate.txt contents]; :log info "OpenDNS: Host $opendnshost - $opendnsresult";
