I've been Chicken Littleing about cryptowall for a year now and no one has given a single solitary gently caress. Guess what came in! I'm drafting my loving resignation letter and moving to Raleigh, gently caress this poo poo.

Get the contents of your mailbox dumped out to a PST file now so that you have something to reference. I assume your CryptoLocker warnings were sent via email?

A  came inI had an interview for a temp-to-hire IT position at a nonprofit yesterday. Less than an hour later, I had a call saying I had the job. Turns out that one of the helpdesk people is leaving on friday, so they needed somebody in ASAP so they could be trained before the guy left. I've been told that, provided I do a decent job, I'll probably have the dudes position once HR gets around to posting it. My first project is to figure out some kind of label printer they can buy, that they can interface with their new asset tracking system, so they can print asset labels that include a custom logo. They want barcodes, serial numbers, the company logo, and asset number all on the same label. Anybody have suggestions? (Oh, and this nonprofit is apparently running 100% macs, everyone gets a macbook air or macbook pro. Good thing I used to be AppleCare Tech Support!)

The line I wound up using was: "Is there an adult I can talk to?" Theres so much IT work to do, and a flood of under skilled people to do it. And its complicated stuff that requires critical thinking at most every step. We're trying to hire a developer at work and I'm looking at resumes and the people I want are rare and expensive, and their are others who are very common and inexpensive but would have to grind it out, which will require more supervision and inspection from me. I'm hoping we can get someone who is willing to let me offload what I know onto them. I work in an office with Non IT consultants, and it's interesting how we find people for that. It seems easier to find those people, and I think that its maybe becuase its tangible and more of a conversational and analytical thing than a scientific method and engineering thing.

And even with the supervision and hand holding, they'll still get it wrong. The more expensive candidates will pay for themselves by delivering in half the time, even if they cost 1.5x as much.

I don't know what kind of budget you have to work with, but I know several places that use Zebra desktop label printers. I haven't heard about much else. I know we use Brother P-Touch for labeling equipment, but that's more "Hostname - IP address". I don't know how flexible the P-touch software is with that, or if it will even generate barcodes. Our asset tags come to us pre-printed from another group after we submit a form with all the appliance/router/switch details. http://www.barcodesinc.com/cats/barcode-printers/desktop.htm?nav=hdr That company will also do custom label blanks in lots of 1000, but no logo. I'm sure there's off the shelf inventory software that will allow you more flexibility printing on blank labels. http://www.barcodesinc.com/cats/labels/designer.htm

I'll second Zebra, they can be pieces of poo poo at times but as far as my own experience goes they've become the defacto name for label printers. You probably want one that's ZPLII language-capable but that may be academic depending on how you're going to be interfacing with them. (Back when I did it I had to code the labels myself in ZPLII and stream them to the printer as a cups job, but they have an IDE of sorts available nowadays I think?) Zebra printers will do annotated barcodes and free text placed wherever you like on the label, and most models will allow you to upload images to the printer to be referred to in your label code. Grab the Programming Guides and you can generally work out how to display everything else on the label with a bit of trial and experimentation.

Judge Schnoopy posted:A ticket went out to AT&T Uverse to enable IP Passthrough on their modem. AT&T uverse two wire modems are an abomination to all mankind and the worst poo poo I have ever seen from any ISP. Any client that says they are going to get AT&T Uverse I immediately steer to a different ISP. Everything the tech said for their modem is true, if you get static IP blocks only the modem can assign them because "reasons", what the reasons are I have not been able to get explained. Then again this is an ISP that blocks all 5060 UDP traffic so you hopefully get frustrated trying to find out why your SIP trunks wont work and you go with their solution. The block is done on their switching side, not on the Modem.

A flood came in.... The AC in the server room decided to piss out all the water in its system. It was pouring out of that thing, kind of like when you flush a urinal. Luckily we have a raised floor so all the water was under the gear, but there are electrical outlets under there.... Site manager sends out an email saying that we're shutting down servers to prevent damage. We actually don't end up doing this, but users will hit me up assuming their favorite server is getting taken down. We managed to catch it early enough to where there was no damage. I have to help handle this and respond to tickets with a busted up foot. An all in one computer fell right on my big toe and I've been limping around ever since. They offered to let me go home or go to ER under worker's comp, and may just if it gets bad enough, but I figure it'll get better.

I got told to find what would work and bring the info and prices to the director of technology. Are you looking for labels ("that's Bill's, it has his name on it") or asset tags ("this incredibly hard to remove sticker says to call this number if the machine is ever seen in public")? Standard P-Touch tape is the former, but there's some tedious-to-remove asset tag type stuff out there too. It's not nearly as cheap. I'm positive Zebra has the same caveat, but I'm not as familiar with their stuff.

I don't even know how to simplify "network drop" and "plug in" without getting really condecending and talking about "big phone jacks". I've never heard the term so I would've told you to speak English (like "Ethernet outlet" or something) as well.
