Dell should 100% have a loving option to mute that loving alarm since they require the error messages to send out warranty parts and it is seriously loud and completely loving useless.

I'm left alone and told "poo poo can be done better so you have the keys and make it that way, tell me why you want to do X and just do it". It's been this way for the past 8 months, I just got a raise finally. I have complete freedom at my current job hence me not posting much here anymore(well that and I travel/workout with our DBA do conventions dressing up as various things fomr photoshoots, money, and girls). Basically I am rebuilding our SAN environment, reconstructing our blade infrastructure, consolidating our SQL infrastructure, implementing much automaton, and being the guy Applications team, SQL team, Dev team, network, and systems, go through to get poo poo done as quickly and efficiently as possible. It's funny before I got here it took days to provision a new VM server, I set up orchestration and some other stuff so now it happens in a few minutes If I move to AZ I get a min 50k raise, still not sure about it but tilted kilt is awesome, but not sure if I like all that heat. That and I'd actually have to show up before 10:30 everyday which blows rear end. That and I can't go up to DC and get wasted every night with the <insert_3_letter_title_here> on the company.

Nothing wrong with that per se, but there are much better places to go in Phoenix if you wind up here. Also, if you wind up here, message me. I am and always have been a serious eater and gym rat. I can show you better places to drink, better places to eat, and better places to work out.

Already offered a few jobs in Raleigh to nimble/emc/vmware, just looking at Varrow/Peak10 right now since they both offered me my price range just thinking about it now. Charlotte just has my friends down there where we were ranked in the top 15 of TF2 in the world. That and they have good job offers @ a 30% decrease in living on where I am now Sorry but the vendors I travel with are based out of my office-I mean east coast area. Next time I am out there let's use my corporate card up! IDK working out with my DBA and being told to get fit and in shape is fun then I get paid to go to conventions(see you goons at Otakon, there are a lot more but that is the biggest) and stuff, man is it fun.

Scaramouche posted:The Question: Anyone imported anything into the Sage Timberline Estimating product database (also known as Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate now)? Their main concern is that they can create an initial spec in the Sage product, but it all goes pear-shaped when it goes out to their contractors, who submit their actual cost information using different codes/not using Sage, which means currently they have to be manually entered. All I know about Sage is that it's a flat file database, and apparently ships with an ODBC connector but other than that I've got nothin. I'm also aware of the "Sage Timberline Office Connector Import" product, but they've already been in touch with that vendor and apparently that's a no go. I administer an Estimating setup, but have never done anything at file-level with the revision database (I'm assuming you're talking about a pei.dat file?). That said, the few times I've delved into the Sage settings files, which was mostly to push out a customized setting for which database to open, it was all just XML, so it's outwardly possible the pei file is also just XML. I'd look but I have the VMs down at the moment as I'm upgrading the storage switch firmware (haven't yet set up redundant switches at this client so upgrade currently requires total downtime, though good news is redundant switch is in the budget for....two months from now oh well).

poo poo pissing me off: aside from working on a Sunday, HP's ProBook "recovery" DVDs aren't actually bootable, so if the hard drive fails and needs to be replaced hope you have a Windows 7 DVD/USB drive around. What's the point of having an "operating system DVD" if it requires you to already have an operating system to use? This all ignores the initial problem of not having standardized images for our laptops.

It's like, why the gently caress do you think I kept asking you about it? I had someone from another team ask about registration a few weeks ago. They sold out over a month ago, no chance. I asked MS for pass but by the time we found one the travel hotels was too expensive. These things sell out too quick, you have to jump on it the first month it opens.

Rufus is both more versatile (can make boot disks for more things than just Windows PE) and more reliable (doesn't take a dump when it's time to make the thing bootable and can make something that actually WORKS for EFI bootpaths). Alternately for Windows 8 on make the thing bootable yourself (which requires a command in DiskPart and a command outside DiskPart, hence more work than Rufus) and just copy the contents of the ISO over. This works with EFI bootpaths, unlike 7, where doing that is kind of a pain unless you have an existing Windows 7 environment. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 07:19 on May 4, 2015 |
