Try to keep costs minimum-get the maximum benefit.Spare a thought for the less fortunate too and do more whatever possible to help.Collaborate and cut down on needless travel.Wikis are an excellent tool to help you do just that and make the best use of available stuff.Find out the best shared articles on energy us http://del.icio.us/tag/energy - popularize them through your blogs,forums,websites,emails whatever and use www.stumbleupon.com to rate their quality and further spread their usage and act in the interest of one and all.IT will get more than whatever you bargained for and knowing you have done good really helps and it really comes back to you ways you have never imagined.It has happened to me and it will happen to you also.

Be cautious and have ready policies - even for ignorant employees

Are you even aware what your employees or enthusiastic net savvy friends are doing to you.Everybody with some knowledge and common sense will tell you a little caution is better than remorse later!.

Let's face it, if you knew you wouldn't have been caught pulling the fire alarm at school so that you could postpone that math test would you have done it? The same moral dilemma faces those who use their PCs at work. Employees (particularly in larger corporations) don't see the real harm of network downtime--it's just a paid break. And if they don't see people getting fired for abuse (I'm not talking about porn here, but shopping, blogging, gambling, etc., etc.) what risk do they really take in abusing their Internet access? Besides, if you do happen to infect the network with the latest worm you're just a poor, little end-user and you're really, really sorry. And how many IT departments are actually going to track the thing down once the fire's been put out? Not many--the standard e-mail reminder to be more careful will have to suffice (oh, and remember to attach a copy of the corporate e-mail/Internet policy).

Make the policy if you do not have one already.Big companies be shocked to find out few people care and small companies be really cautious-only u will have to fend for yourself when the going gets tough.

While I am not excited about big companies, et al taking a stronger oversight role when it comes to internet,workstation and network security, businesses (particularly smaller ones) really do need help against their own worst enemy--themselves.

First and foremost search for email policies,review the same,add your own safeguards and make sure everybody knows.Put the disaster recovery plan too in place.Any search engine will tell you the relevant links and articles.Ignorance costs a lot and who will really sympathize with you if you slip off a lying banana skin on the ground.Folks will laugh and learn at your expense.Know that-period.

Raw Sugar and Youtube

I have not blogged for sometime now.I found www.youtube.com and www.rawsugar.com to be awesome and well both sites are like my favorite website http://del.icio.us and do not forget to check the tags by different people who knows what you will find out there.The only way to make progress is to make good use of available resources and scale the same up at minimal costs.Increase your audience too by networking with key people offline and online too and see the difference.

I am also using Stumble Upon toolbar to spread awareness about hurricane Katrina's innocents and want to help unite people by directing the people and their well wishers to websites that are relevant in the hope uniting missing people and their friends and relatives.Another way is I am actually popularizing the message that people are helping out and one has to hope for the best-in times like these hope is the only strength giver and one who has hope will do better than one who has no hope-it is important to keep spirits up and energize the whole community and all those trying to help-the best way to do this is by smiling and working against all odds to survive and make a difference.

To see my Stumbles see http://parvez.stumbleupon.com and note that my Stumbles are being seen as I appear within the top 50 - 100 results for the keyword "parvez"- think about what you are doing to make a difference and be the difference you want to see in society.Think about it and may Allah (the Almighty) have mercy on all of us.Aameen.
