Comment on Likedin

Few days ago I've posted a bit bitter comment on LinkedIn
it was on topic "Do you have insight that could help reduce backlogs in digital forensics?"
My comment was " I don't have insight ...
but I'll suggest to use in digital forensics what other fields in computer science and practice have discovered and used ever since dark ages with great success.
Efficient scripting for task automation, standardization, tool compatibility, proper training and education, parallelism in design and task solving, using other OS, not only windows, to deal efficiently with wast amount of data we have today, use proper design techniques and methods to address data processing issues in digital forensic labs ...  probably other issues too, but this comes to my mind now :) "

It really tackles what I learned from working with many commercial forensic tools in last few years, this elements simply stands as very painful obstacles.

Summer lazy ...

I've just noticed it is more than a month I've posted page. Actually there is a few drafts but somehow can't find a form to finish it, definitively it is summer :)

There is one big post about parallelism in digital forensics which I can't finish and also a few smaller things
like comments on the end of academic year and first run of ORF.
I have some ideas on tools classification but this also needs serious thought and work

To be honest I'm getting frustrated with state of affairs in digital forensics locally and in general sense, simply can't avoid impression about things being done in a wrong way in opposite what we know about computer science and engineering, but this again requires elaboration and cold head to write about.
