Classic black metal act Venom was playing for a large audience at Sweden Rock Festival. Their show featured a record breaking number of amplifiers and speakers on stage. Front man Cronos produced a mighty sound playing his bass... until all of a sudden the sound of the bass was cut dead. It didn`t work. Cronos looked down on his bass, looked around the stage, looked out over the crowd and then went up to the mike, shrugged his shoulders and calmly said: Technology, Huh?They got the gear working again within a minute and did a truly memorable performance. Perhaps unlike some of my colleagues, technology is not my first interest. I get my greatest kicks when I understand the business of the customer, see the opportunities that can be met with IT, and can present them with a high quality solution that will help them reach their goals. That is what I strive for as a consultant.I am trying to keep up to date with the current ideas mainly in architecture and general solution design. Privately, I`m a family man interested mostly in film, music and literature, preferably of the more fantastic kind. ©
