I went to download there were plenty of people wearing slipknot masks waiting to get in, and they never got asked to remove them.

From the ticket:-
25. By attending the event, you give your express consent to your actual or simulated likeness to be included within any film, photograph, audio and/or audiovisual recording to be exploited in any and all media for any purpose at any time throughout the world. This includes filming by the police or security which may be carried out for the security of customers or the prevention of crime.

The police said the database was an offline copy of an existing Europe wide database of known offenders and the data will not be kept for longer than the festival.

Seriously if you think like this, then either you are new to this game or you've been blinded by the people that get paid vast amounts of money to implement ITIL frameworks.

If I "fiddle" as you put it with the production environment, its because I have researched it and more often than not tested it in a lab environment, I don't want to have to waste my time writing a change control process, documentation, backout plans blah blah blah, just so people in these rolls can understand what I am doing. If you don't understand what I am saying in technical speak, then maybe you need to reconsider your job sector.

Cowboys are able to hide under the many layers of crap that ITIL and associated frameworks provide, real IT people that have been doing this stuff for years, (lets face it most of the stuff hasn't changed in the last 30 years) know what to change and when to change it, and if they make a mistake then know damn well how to put it right.

I have a performance car, when I take it into the garage I dont get the mechanic to write out a change control to do stuff to my car, I trust his experience that he knows what he is doing...
