I think I got my last two off of Dice. Probably depends on where you are, though. I also scrape Craigslist, Linkedin, Monster, and Indeed. Sometimes CareerBuilder, but that's less common. I haven't gotten any jobs off of the latter five, though, so put those in whatever order you want. Someone's going to tell you to work on your linkedin if you have any level of experience, too. Some lucky bastards get a ton of messages from recruiters, to the point they don't have to look anymore.

Also check the websites of small companies in the area. They don't always advertise on external sites.

Post raise-request-bomb is how I read it. Also he just asked for the raise the day before and hasn't posted about results yet.

Every time I touch my resume on Monster or update my LinkedIn profile, I get at least half a dozen calls and a dozen emails a day from recruiters, probably half of which are about legit perm jobs in my area that actually fit my skill set (the rest are spam from overseas call centers for poo poo contract jobs in random podunk towns across the country that are barely related to my experience, of course). It's actually a bit annoying when I'm not really looking, but it's good to know the market is still hot around here, I suppose.

Did someone spill a soda on it and leave it for a couple weeks? Wait, new guess. Coffee, with milk and sugar. E: if that's from someone here, throw it out. Then tell them that you couldn't retrieve any of the data because $technical_sounding_reason that makes it the fault of whoever left that mess sitting for so long. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Jul 19, 2015 |

We just had a really warm and muggy weekend in my area. Apparently the A/C in the server room gave up on life. Not a single server is up. Phones are down. Gonna be a great monday. Edit : Woo! The webserver is still alive! keep soldiering forward, lil guy! Double Edit : A/C Went down for about 18 hours, and our casualty list includes a couple of hard drives and some power supplies on some core networking gear. Looks like it could have been a lot worse.

We're using PaperCut + PaperCut-compatible Toshiba MFPs. Papercut presents itself as a Windows network print queue to our users and caches jobs itself. The user taps a HID-enabled card to a panel on the MFP and chooses which jobs to release on a touchscreen. PaperCut releases the job to the appropriate (private, access-restricted) windows queue for that printer and the printer spits it out. Right now, I count fifty outstanding jobs in our queue (we drop unprinted jobs after 7 days) that are over fifty pages. One is 290 pages  Hasn't hiccupped yet.I'm told by Papercut that scaling by clustering is "easy." I don't think we'll ever be in a place to actually test that claim.

siggy2021 posted:We had this happen once and now we have an alarm that goes off and someone gets a call if the temperature in the server room goes above or below certain thresholds Oh we definitely have that. Were I higher up on the totem pole here, I'd ask my network admin what the hell happened about that. It might just need some tweaking, since as things were being brought back up, I was bullshitting with him, and then his phone started getting those very notifications.

I'm desperately trying to convince management to look at Papercut for our Canon MFPs rather than Equitrac, but I'm fairly certain it's a lost cause at this point.

Does anybody know if there's a flag in Exchange Online to run a rule against messages which aren't classified as Spam? There's one for setting the SCL above which the rule will trigger, but not one below which it will trigger - so I get a whole bunch of false notifications from quarantined emails.

We want to make sure this time around it's better. Let me explain what is entailed..." Management: "That sounds complicated, but I'm sure we can go back to how we had it before."

We use Equitrac. Initially it was rolled out for head office only, and that took several weeks to get up and running (before I started here). that was due to the Card Reader not being compatible with our security passes and requiring a specific model, and the card reader requiring powered USB hubs because the Ricoh MFP couldnt supply enough power on the single USB port. I'm now rolling it out nationally and it has taken 7+ months. The Vendor, despite all our previous issues and us reminding them of those issues, supplied us with the wrong card readers, no USB hubs, and in general has been poo poo about it. We get random calls weeks early/late for techs arriving at our sites to install/upgrade readers, they dont send stuff out on time or pick up and remove the wrong machines, install the card readers on the wrong machines, and general gently caress ups. Equitrac itself isnt too bad, if not a little convoluted in its setup. Although If I can figure out how to get it to stop telling me I have exceeded my user count (even after deleting all ex staff and system related accounts that dont need printing) I would be happy. As with most things, its not necessarily the software or hardware thats at fault, its the support from the vendor when it doesnt work that makes or breaks it.

I tell him it isn't, because I'm fixing the register. "Oh. You should open it up, it's really busy."

The printers in the IT department are now so messed up that I have had to show my IT coworkers how to save to PDF on a USB drive and plug that into the printer to print from it. This is all thanks to someone trying to get PullPrint to work, and then going on vacation without it being done. I'm sure it's fixable in very little time, but I don't want to touch the poop.

Half the time their response to "Oh I don't work here, I'm just fixing this" they'll glare at you for 5 seconds thinking you're trying to avoid them.

My Dad was telling me about a ticket he got in the late 1980s for a very old-school security issue - He worked for a software house in a very aggressive growing market and some contractors moving interior walls had come across some hardware that needed moving. Upon further investigation it was was a covert radio transmitter with multiple hardwired microphones going into the boardroom walls. All very high end kit and professionally installed. They pretty much knew which company had done it as it was just them and 1 other company fighting in the market space. It all got hushed up at the time, so I'm guessing both sides were playing dirty tricks. Running anti-virus just doesn't have the same James Bond feel as having someone walk around the office sweeping for bugs. Baconroll fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Jul 21, 2015 |
