MisterOblivious posted:http://www.techflex.com/prod_pet.asp https://www.wirecare.com/products.asp?prodline=ptn I was going to suggest techflex but I didn't think it came in 4" diameter. Whaddyaknow. I would say however that for runs over 10' you really want the kind that has a slit horizontally down it. Pushing techflex over a bundle of cables 150' long (you push it in the same way you push a chinese finger trap, bunching it up so it expands just past where you're pushing it, which means you have to keep repeating that process every couple inches down the length of the cable) would make me strangle the person who requested this with the techflex.

Slanderer posted:Ohhhh poo poo I thought you meant a reasonable diameter cut to 4" lengths. Yeah, 4" diameter is huge Yeah, 4" is on the larger side of what I'd want, I'm going back and forth between 3" and 4".  We've got three cameras with about 50' of various cables going to each. The bundle contains about 6 or 7 different cords connecting the various camera controls to a controller unit in studio control. The black cable is a power cable for the prompter monitors, and the white one is one we added yesterday for tally lights on each camera. I want a new sleeve to contain the power and tally controller cords in addition to all the others, with some room to accommodate anything new we add in the future. Gunjin posted:Like this? Ooh, thanks for this. This looks very promising.

You should probably take a look at the wrap like Potato Alley mentioned. It'll be a helluva lot easier to add to down the road.  http://www.techflex.com/prod_dwn.asp

The employee who brings in the one with the longest hose gets a small T-shirt with the logo of some company we bought out five years ago on it!  Edit: Don't worry, we'll just remove the hoses and give the rest of the vacuum cleaner bits to the homeless guy who camps out by the dumpsters out back, so it's totally for a good cause.

They're a bit of a pain to get on, but once that's done they slide nicely over floors, and are easily pushed out of the way if your camera dollies have shrouded wheels. Edit: I zoomed in on your image and saw that you already use that. Never mind me.

A ticket came in. The dentists ordered a new system, and wants it fully implemented by Aug. 1st. They don't have a copy of the software. They want two UTP drops at each location, but don't know why or which VLAN they want. I'm leaving for my annual three-weel summer vacaion on friday. Cream of the cake is the fact that all my questions have been answered with "Our boss is out of the office. She'll get back to you when she comes in again". I'm not holding my breath. Friday is coming *tick**tock**tick**tock*

So in my workplace one thing we haven't bothered with is asset management to any degree I'm just gonna buy a kit and label the poo poo out of everything at a weekend. I've used lovely peelable stickers in the past Can anyone recommend the software end (I'll Excel it if need be but there must be a better solution)?

Filemaker works well if you already know what is out there and just want to create records for them.

ZoDiAC_ posted:So in my workplace one thing we haven't bothered with is asset management to any degree If you have any sort of budget and a lot of stuff to manage, you might look at Dell's K1000 system. An E-mail came in this morning from a branch manager. It made my day. "DB is no longer an Employee, please disable remote access and forward his E-mail to me." DB He will remove his E-mail account from his phone sometimes several times a week. Basically if he goes anywhere with no data coverage he'll assume it is his account settings and muck about. Removing the account wouldn't be so bad if he remembered the settings! But he never did. He was a friendly sort of guy but he would often do random things you didn't tell him to do when he called for help. He's the one user who continually bitched about my "No zip files" E-mail attachment policy. Ouroborus fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jun 24, 2015 |

I was going to temper my sarcastic response with a "well, it has actually been pretty good since the update to version 6" but that's only because it's slightly better than the absolute poo poo it was when we first got it. Their support has actually managed to get worse, I've had a top severity ticket open with them since May 29 (patches are not being installed, kind of the entire loving point of the thing) and have had to hound them constantly to get any sort of response or follow up. Do never buy KACE.

I presume I have a budget, I use presume as money is allocated based on how well your need comes across. Finance fortunately see worth in asset tracking. It isn't even my need, it predates me. I've got spice works and it's good but seems designed for one super admin. Reminds me of Lansweeper. Which I'd love. I ideally want something accessible and understandable by multiple admins. I want to build something then not own it exclusively. It aint my baby. But I can make it my baby I guess. Previous attempts at asset management equate to a rolodex I also suspect whatever I come up with will be hijacked for none IT assets and I'd draw the line there. Another reason I don't like spice works, it seems too IT for me to palm off. At least an Excel sheet doesn't automatically scream IT. (sometimes!) I dunno. It's weird. I get asked as a computerised version would be good. The directives end there. I have freedom so may as well do it right, and good. That way if I'm stuck with it, so what? It's mine anyway!

Contact a label printing company and draft up some plastic stickers with number codes on them, stick to anything of value, write down what it is and who has it. Later on I upgraded it by building a Salesforce custom object so I could at least link things to people and also make easy reports, Spiceworks is an added bonus especially when all of the office machines are nearly all properly labelled and named.

Turn your phone off after the first 3 maybe?

That's hosed up. Was it someone making a beep with their mouth, or some kind of automated system? As a new first time parent I'm sympathetic to losing a ton of sleep. At least with our baby I can sort of troubleshoot what's going on, since the scope of things he cares about is pretty small right now.

My first just turned one, and I've got my second coming on July 15th. Those first three months were a blur, but I remember it being a very dismal and sleep-deprived blur. I'm definitely not looking forward to that part again.

This is the same guy whos landline gets cut off every three months (we acquired his business last year) because he is the sole contact for the phone account, which he has still not updated the billing address to head office, so his bills go unpaid. I check this every 3 months, remind him that the bill is going to his home address, and that we are not authorised on the account to change this information and he has to do it. I dont know how people like him manage to get their business to a point where a company like us buys them. Another similar company we bought was a 2 person operation who daily call us with issues pertaining to 'I have to turn my computer on every day after shutting it down the night before' and 'my phone doesnt ring when its off the hook'

I'm talking to a user about some problems she's having with a video conference unit and with a TV in another part of the building. She's rambling on about how they don't use them often, but this summer blah blah blah. She finally gets to the point that their video conf system isn't working, and they can't connect to this TV. Then mentions this started in April, but she is just calling in now. The real kicker is I was up in the area visiting family a few days ago, and I could have stopped by and fixed it if they'd called in sooner. Also I would have had my fuel paid.

What do your MX records look like? My coworker did some digging and it looks like the "protection.outlook.com" record is taking too long and timing out on us, but Exchange doesn't try the other servers in the MX. Are the people sending email to you getting 400s in their DSNs? Weirdly, our production application (which uses postfix) can send to the same people on the same domain, it's just hosted exchange -> certain domains running O365.

The MX records are set by whoever runs your DNS. (`dig yourhostname.com MX` on a unix-like machine will get you what's in them currently.) But yes, our workaround for this is kinda horrendous, so if you have more information or an update from Microsoft themselves, it'd be super helpful to my coworkers.
