Judge Schnoopy posted:Mystery solved with the 100.100.100.102 gateway. Xerox printer and companion efi on site. The correct Ethernet configuration is network -> efi -> xerox. The efi creates the secluded 100 network between it and the xerox. Yep, that sounds about right. Not too long ago I was looking at ours to enable Scan to E-mail and wondered why it has this funky IP address; que changing the IP and DNS settings and the fiery box drops offline and can't connect to it again. Much head scratching later I found a sheet of paper detailing things about the box and how it needs that specific IP to actually work.  Also; "Something's wrong with the printer none of my jobs are getting sent through" "You see that it's currently printing a massive job right? Wait"

KoRMaK posted:Thank god I live in a near hipster paradise where a chain pizza place is out of the way. I got one with eggplant and peppers and poo poo the other day and was great. I'm pretty conflicted with pizza. On one hand living just outside Chicago for my entire life there is subjectively great pizza options all the time, but on the other hand when I went to Italy last year I would say their take on pizzas tended to beat Chi style. Oh, and NY style white pizza is disgusting. Is there truly anywhere else regionally known for good pizza?

I personally agree with the proxy server and feel people should order pizza from a better local place but I'm being forced to fix it.

notwithoutmyanus posted:Is there truly anywhere else regionally known for good pizza? Despite the fact that Buffalo is stereotypically known for chicken wings, we've got some fantastic pizza. It's kind of a hybrid between Chicago and NY style pizza. It's not flat, thin crust, and it's not 5 inch thick deep dish crust, it's somewhere in the middle. Usually a slightly chewy, golden outer crust with a fluffy, bread-like inside. Also, your typical pizza-night meal will be whatever pizza you want, with an order of chicken wings, with carrots, celery, and blue cheese sauce. Don't be fooled, the sauce isn't for the wings. It's for the pizza. Dip that pie in that sauce and experience heaven. Most of my teenage years were spent watching movies with friends, as we all split a sheet pizza and a bucket of 50 wings. And since I'm being stereotypically Buffalonian, your wings must be deep fried to golden crispness, then drenched in your sauce of choice, and if that sauce if barbeque, then your wings must be grilled till they get those nice grill marks on them. If they're baked, you must string that fucker up. Ain't nobody got time for no baked wings.

neogeo0823 posted:Incidentally, the problem seems to have been fixed, I think. I didn't get all the details, but apparently our phone service provider did *~something~* to their servers over the weekend that said servers didn't like. Our business, along with a couple others, was on a *~special snowflake~* server of some sort. Now, all of the servers didn't like whatever the *~something~* was, but the one we're on freaked out completely and the mess we were in was the result. I will kinda miss not having to take calls. Ugh, getting voip systems to admit the problem is on their end is the worst. Our account was also on some special snowflake server that didn't interact correctly with the other servers (attended transfers would drop the call only when calling other customers of this service). I produced tons of packet captures from firewalls on both ends of the line showing the differences in the Refer packet and argued for hours, and after two days the company vaguely admitted they found the problem on their end. Made it to tier 4 of 4, who kicked the long term resolution to engineering.

Today's winner for quality user for me: Customer emails me to tell me they're having trouble with one Surface not being able to install our software. I call him back and leave a message for him with his secretary since he's in a meeting. She makes me spell out my name, business and reason for call. He calls back 5 minutes later to our Customer Care team rather than the number I left, doesn't know who called him but knows that he needs help now and is generally rude. Whatever, people are rude sometimes, it doesn't matter. I ask if I can remote in to look at the problem, he puts me on hold because he's not sitting in the same office as the computer that he called us about. Um, OK. On hold for 10 minutes, he then comes back and tells me that the computer isn't onsite today and he'll have to call back another time. He then just hung up the phone. How do people become this stupid?

Call comes in at 5:00am. Transmitter that sends our television signal and is the backbone of our entire business has gone down 5 times in an hour. The graphics system is down entirely, can't do things like transitions, lower thirds (names when people are interviewed), anything that isn't a straight video feed. Live shots have no audio going out over the air, but can be heard fine in-studio. Chief engineer has been called about 20 times and will not answer his phone, as usual. I get up here at 5:30 to realize that he spent the entirety of yesterday afternoon messing around with our clusterfuck of a video network and removed a bunch of devices and cables trying to get a particular remote camera working. I have no clue what he's changed that would mess everything up this badly, but everyone is looking to me to fix it. Happy Thursday! Is 7:30 too early to start drinking?

The only reason I can figure out is if he's been pulling cables from the.. oh god He hasn't been messing with the matrix, has he? Does the Emergency switch still work? If not it's time to hardwire a single iNEWS machine into the matrix (or straight into the broadcaster) and send from that (or SONY whatsitsname if you use that). Edit: Are your cameras IP-based, or SDI? Edit2: If your graphic bundles aren't getting displayed it sure looks like your matrix is faulty.

Crowley posted:How on earth can him fiddling with a camera control mess up your transmission? The only reason I can figure out is if he's been pulling cables from the.. Totally unrelated issue, but coincidental with the rest of the poo poo going on. It got hit by lightning a few months ago and we just had it pretty much rebuilt, so now it's just giving us a poo poo ton of problems. Also turns out the graphics system keeps randomly defaulting all its settings. This is the third time in just as many weeks. The company that owns the machine just accuses us of tampering with the config instead of investigating the issue. Nevermind the fact that to change the config you have to remote into a server that only they have the keys to. Now I get to spend the day shoved in a sweaty wasp infested shack trying to figure out which of the 8,000 transmitter components is acting up

All this reminds me of my workplace where our TV side is an awful hardware/software hybrid right now which is the bane of my existence. My boss recently put in a new beefy PC to run vMix (I hate this program so loving much) which he then decided to run everything TV side through so if that single point of failure screws up we lose audio or video or both because vMix is buggy as hell Oh and our hardware matrix is almost 20 years old and the s video connectors are going bad so there's sometimes the fun game of "jiggle it until it works" that comes about. Local radio/TV for a small town blows.

User reported that they were running out of drive space on an 11-inch MB Air. Their mail folder was huge (thanks Mac Mail) but Chrome.app was reporting as 8 gigs which was odd. Took a look at /Contents/ and found that the /Versions/ folder contained entries going back to Chrome 22. Don't know if it's OS X or Chrome to blame for this one but goddamn. pr0digal fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Apr 9, 2015 |

A meeting came in: Discuss findings and feedback for new customer document repository Hooooly poo poo it's loving terrible. Apparently some consultant guy made the finished product in four weeks, and we go live in two; it's basically a website where you login and download a selection of employment law documents and templates, and some of them can auto-generate copies when you fill out some of the forms. Err... that's basically it, all the documents are raw with zero copy protection, the generator doesn't work, the interface is terrible and looks like a mock-up, and it's a completely separate system which god knows who is going to maintain. None of the higher ups bothered to show up, and while it's hard to describe things like this the rest of us slammed the entire thing for being godawful and who in their mind would pay money to build something like this from scratch (Especially when I heard the costs might add up to £100,000)
