My buddy Scott McPherson is on a roll.
And frankly, it's getting a little irritating. I've already plugged one of his blogs earlier today. There really should be a daily limit, you know.
But now he's gone and done it again.
He isn't satisfied to write terrific blogs on his website like a normal flubie. . . NO, he has to write them for ComputerWorld as well. You see, Scott not only knows his bird flu, he is also a world class IT professional.
Today Scott writes a cautionary lesson for IT managers worldwide on why they need to be watching Indonesia closely, and making plans to deal with a pandemic.
Since I had to read this article, you should have to as well. Even if you aren't an IT professional.

Why you should care about Indonesia
You need to care today about what is going on in Indonesia, and you need to start paying very close attention to events within that archipelago nation. The reason is the sudden convergence of events, scientific papers, and government decisions regarding what we call "bird flu," or avian influenza.
First, if you need background on influenza and want to get caught up on events, use my personal Blogsite, http://www.scottmcpherson.net/ as a guide. Also bookmark the Florida CIO Council's Pandemic Website, where you can download just about everything you ever wanted to know about avian flu and how IT professionals should prepare. And be sure to check all the links at both sites.
