For years, I worked exclusively with vanilla JavaScript—no React, no Vue, no Angular. I know about all of these frameworks, but I never had the opportunity to work with them. Angular, in particular, has bugged me because it has recently become the bread and butter of frontend development for full-stack developers. Angular is heavily dependent on TypeScript, so what better use of my free time and vacation than to dive into that?

After taking the 27001 Foundation last week, I decided to give it a try and peek into ISO 20000 as well. I had passed an ITIL V3 Foundation cert almost a decade ago and figured it would be a good fit to refresh some insights on IT Service Management aka ITSM. It’s somehow bread and butter to a lot of organizations, and 20k is also a standard you can certify against.

I recently had a short gig at a local internet carrier where I got in touch with the topic of ISO/IEC 27001 - which is fundamentally relevant to the protection of information. Briefly, the standard deals with the implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of an Information Security Management System, abbreviated to ISMS. This system ensures that standard measures (‘controls’) are implemented so that information is safe. I never fully understood how Risks, Controls, Processes, and Policies worked together in a unified way and how they fit into the bigger picture.

This is not really related to the ToE like the rest of the blog, but who cares? It’s my site and my blog. If you’re into networking, this might be interesting for you anyway. Today, I remodeled my home network. I was not happy with the old design, even though it worked fine. This is basically my development environment, and it bothered me that I did not have a clean structure.

This is my new Blog. I will primarily talk about the WTF-Model, which is the Lightweight-Theory of Everything i’ve been working on for quite some time and only occasionally I’ll drop in some of my job related endeavors. Alternativly named the ‘God Fractal’ or ‘Lightweight ToE’ the WTF is my primary anchor. Even though i was able to find this marvel, describe and understand it fully (to the best of my abilities), the second part -the harder part- of the task here really seems on how to put this in as simple as possible words so i can communicate the model to others.
