And what do I do but whip out my phone and scan it just to see what it says.

gently caress it, create a subforum for IT bitching so "there's a puppy in my datacenter" can have its own thread.

I only ever make ethernet cables for long semipermanent runs, where I can't quite justify installing a plate, but the actual odds of moving that cable are close to nil. Power and coax are made far more often, because it gives me a way to pad my labor budget.

This isn't directly IT related, but one of my duties at work besides maintaining our hodge-podge of WRT54Gs masquerading as professional access points is contacting the head electrician with each tour and working out what they actually need out of what is listed in their rider. I just got asked to advance a show but my boss once again failed to forward me the counter-offer. So now I get to call a guy and try to bullshit my way into giving him nothing but what I know we already have. And I will probably find out that he's getting more come the day of the show, making me look like the bad guy. I've got a tentative in Macau, any other goons in that area?

rolleyes posted:Errrr, turn of the century happened 13 years ago guys. But in common usage it still refers to 1900. "The new millennium" is more commonly used for the 2000s.

Next time instead of prolonging the inevitable, just point a butane lighter at a capacitor on the backplane until it bulges and leaks. Also, take an image of that drive before it reboots to a click of death.

A ticket(ing system) came in. I just ed to a $20k/yr raise at a small two man shop that has been picking up work providing lighting controls, service, and support to schools/churches/etc. Which is a fantastic job, but for the fact that our current method of handling service calls is scribbled notes on scraps of paper, voicemails, and long email chains, and inevitably things get missed. I've been looking at setting up Spiceworks because it includes both ticketing and inventory management - which is another thing that is lacking - but I also need something that can be set up on a public-facing server since most of our freelancers never set foot inside the office. Would Spiceworks be any good, or would I be better off setting up osTicket and a separate inventory system? The budget for this is, of course, "what is out there for free."

Sickening posted:Are you trying to say that its impossible to run 16 bit apps on a vm? No, only that XP mode on windows 7/whatever ever VM you choose to use doesn't meet his arbitrary standard of being able to open a 16-bit app from a random directory on the hard disk. Apparently shortcuts are too difficult to use.

blackswordca posted:update to the spam filter drama. It looks like the domain was setup under my companies spam filter account and not a stand alone for the client. Only two people have access to it, they wont give me access to the account so I can whitelist the domains I need to and the people who have access are in a position that I cannot assign tickets to them. Email them and CC the client. Time to play hot potato.

Excel is the worst program for accomplishing any task, but somehow it will succeed given enough macros and corporate dictates.

socialsecurity posted:A growing number of industries expect you to do 6 months to a year of unpaid work before you can get a job in them, not even tied to school each time either like Journalism and like all of Hollywood. Hahaha, bullshit. I never worked a day as an unpaid intern and I'm doing just fine in entertainment. (Of course there's a drat good reason we have the strongest unions in the US.)

Chickenwalker posted:Where do you work? Are you in post? Nope, live production for a national corporation. Recently someone higher up at our branch wanted to get interns and the response from HR was "if you want them, hire them as staff." I have no doubt though that it's IATSE keeping them in check.

Clearly the solution is to start a sleazy-looking "tech support scam" style front for all our family computer repairs. Surreptitiously install the software on their computer while you're fixing it, and then when they inevitably complain that it's broken, remotely trigger the popup.
