Segmentation Fault posted:The first Halo was pretty drat fun on PC. Halo, Half-Life, and Warcraft 3 were the big games floating around my highschool. Halo & Half-Life were stashed in a directory somewhere deep in the network but they got nuked at some point my sophomore year. By the time senior year rolled around though, everyone had a flash drive. So everyone just had a copy of Warcraft 3 on theirs. That poo poo spread faster than herpes in a whorehouse.

Also some of the pictures are personal information like the guy's SSN card, VOIDED checks, direct deposit form, etc... I'd say about half the pictures are Rahm Emmanuel, though.

Emanuel is part of a conspiracy of androids and clones to control a spider dual-brain creeping further into society to oppress us, and specifically to hold this guy's family hostage. But don't worry, if Emanuel reads the email this guy is going to sue him to oblivion with a court of clones and androids which will be a big surprise to the clone jury!

To give him credit, I'm sure that signing up to be a secret agent, only to find yourself working as a junkyard's security guard would be a very funny movie or tv show plot.

A ticket came in! Client is having an issue with a specific report for their web-based ticketing system. This often means that the data in one of their DB tables has somehow been corrupted. Welp, reasonably simple fix. We asked the client to stop Tomcat on their webserver last night to prevent incoming connections in order to take a SQL backup of their DB. At that point, they can run a script we've prepared to clean out the table. What the client's "admin" actually did: 1. Logged on to the webserver 2. Updated Java* 3. Tried to copy C:\Program Files to... somewhere? 4. Called that a "backup" 5. Did... something... with the prepared script. We're still not sure what. *...and when I say "updated Java", I mean installed a brand new JDK. Without reconfiguring Tomcat to use the new JDK/JRE variables. We only found out about all this this morning after they'd already been down for 3 hours. Then we got this wonderful email from their CIO quote:Based upon the information received this morning a JAVA update needed to be performed prior backing up our database. <$OUR_"ADMIN"> communicated that she attempted to perform this process last night an was unsuccessful. When attempting this morning, the process disabled all users in the organization. Oh hell no. No no no. You aren't throwing us under the bus on your admin's mistake. I quickly drafted a reply to their CIO quote:1) The instructions sent to <$YOUR_"ADMIN">, and then confirmed to her verbally, absolutely do not mention performing any kind of a Java upgrade. In a server environment, Java should be configured (and was so done during the initial installation) so that it does not upgrade automatically, and so either it was misconfigured by one of your resources or an update was triggered manually by one of your resources. (Again, we're support for a particular software ticketing/ITSM suite. We're not an MSP.)

We're transferring ~30TB of data off a client's old NAS to a temp NAS until we get their shiny new StorNext SAN installed. We were quite thrilled to find out that the old NAS was connected to the clients over 10 GBe which would make the transfer faster. We were not so thrilled with the fact that it was all copper 10GBe and our NAS had a SFP+ 10GBe card and there was no Thunderbolt SFP+ adapter to be had. That was okay, we'll just plug into the 10GBe switch directly and do the transfer that way. The 10GBe network is not a separate network and is part of the corporate (1GBe) LAN. There goes our transfer speeds

Judge Schnoopy posted:What qualifies somebody for CE work? Is this seemingly systemic problem from the fact that these guys are mechanical / electrical engineers forced into systems administration, which seems kind of close but has absolutely nothing to do with one-another? Is the CE position slowly dying out because of longer lasting radio hardware and increasing creep of digital systems? The few television CE's that I have worked for in my career have been for the most part people that had been there long enough that they were able to kiss up to the bosses and get moved up when the old chief retires. Granted I'm in a semi-small market but I'm sure it is like that in most places. Of the five I have known, none of them had any sort of degree that I know of. My old boss had half a bachelors in music, no idea about how video or audio actually works, and even had to google what a wire stripper looked like. I've talked it over with a former colleague and he was saying that engineers as they are now are a dying breed. Since tv is moving more and more towards having everything based on IP and not the traditional methods, network admins are probably going to be in control. When that happens a lot of the older guys that aren't comfortable with networking are probably going to be out of a job. I was offered an assistant-chief position at my old station but I turned it down because I thought where I'm at now would be better. Yeah, that was a mistake. But at least everything I'm doing now will look good on my resume.
