Twitter twat

San Francisco definitely has enough staplers but Gavin Newsom's IT department is in total shambles.

Let it ring out — Gavin Newsom is tech savvy!  Yippee!

How did he become tech savvy?  Well gentle readers he announced his bid for governor on Twitter and Facebook.

For those of you who just returned to earth these are two sites where people announce they are hung over, have herpes, and basically act like hysterical twats.

I’m sure the man-child mayor is even more proud of his technology chops when it comes to managing the actual information technology of San Francisco.

Isn’t that the professional measure of tech savvy?

Gavin Newsom’s system is so well designed and managed, that ONE MAN locked the WHOLE CITY out of system administration:

Not only was Terry Childs the only admin, he was always on call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As the only admin with the knowledge and access to the FiberWAN, he had no help. During the past few years, the DTIS staff has been significantly reduced due to budget cuts, keeping the city dependent on a sole admin for its core network.

With newly acquired kneepads, Gavin begged Childs for the password in jail.  Shortest jailhouse bromance in history, I’m sure.

Oh those pesky tech workers with their god complexes!  Maybe Childs just was trying to show how flimsy Gavin’s IT system and department is:

When I asked Terry if we could get a copy of the City’s network security policy some months ago, he told me, ‘I’ve been trying to get them to approve one for years. I’ve written ones up and submitted them, but they don’t want to do it, because they don’t want to be held to it.

It’s a known fact that San Franciso’s criminal justice computers don’t talk to each other, and City Hall still uses 10 year old desktop computers running Lotus notes or some other combination of paperclips and bubble gum.

Gavin pumps $200 million a year into IT and has little to show for it.

Savvvvvy?
