BOOTY-ADE posted:Things NOT pissing me off, actually rather funny this morning... I have two of these. They've made the lap around local MSPs twice after leaving us and each time they call back I just laugh and laugh and laugh. Sorry folks, your office manager is horrible(and is also the physician's wife!) and I'd live under an overpass before I took you back!

we found out because a couple former employees at my company went to another MSP and they recognized the company from when they worked here. Apparently the bitch manager is so tough to work with that she's having to shop around, literally because nothing is ever good enough for her. She is and was the ONLY person constantly complaining, everyone else loved our response times and were super friendly/cooperative. Methinks this idiot manager needs to find a new place of employment before their whole office mutinies against her because they can't do their jobs. I love when things like this happen and end up proving us right about the problem not being our company/engineers, but the uncooperative, penny-pinching cheap rear end moron manager that didn't want to run their office properly.

LIke, really? In your cad program you couldn't have shifted the hard drive five hair-widths to the right so that you could use the same screw you hold another component in with? I like to think the HP service/repair division is part of a union and they have a contract with HP that stipulates their machines must use weird tools and take a certain amount of labor hours to disassemble.

Internal maybe. The 820/840 family which I mostly work on is just T8 and P2 screwdrivers. There is definitely unnecessary overhead in any repair that involves removing the service cover, that SOB takes 23 screws plus you have to remove the keyboard (2 more captive screws).

DigitalMocking posted:poo poo *REALLY* pissing me off: Is your... Is your internal network supporting AVB end to end? Or rather that was the design idea? Because that's loving awesome. I mean, you know, assuming it worked. I'm getting the sense that audio companies catering to corporate clients aren't as hosed up and poor as audio companies in the actual audio industry - having to justify a $200 purchase for a company that makes at-minimum-$100k products is loving soul-destroying. But yeah I'm very impressed at the forward thinking of putting AVB in the core network. Doing a gig this Saturday (side job) in a $100+ million concert hall built three years ago where the Dante network doesn't extend everywhere, like, oh, I don't know, the VIDEO BOOTH, because they didn't imagine that you'd want to route Dante audio there. I mean, there's Cat6 tielines and you can patch poo poo around to get it there, but actually it's likely at that point you're past 100 meters from the switch. Oh and the second center section of seats, where the main mix position is supposed to be (seats lift out) doesn't have SDI tielines. What the gently caress guys. RUN EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE. Maybe not every show is going to have a goddamn separate mixer, and maybe a center position 30 feet back from stage would be a great loving place for a camera? NAAAAAAH. The funniest part is that the back of the first section of seats, where the concert hall policy is that cameras aren't allowed because it's disruptive to the audience, DOES have SDI tielines. Apparently the designers never talked to the people planning to use the hall (big loving shock).

The last time I had Meijer water (Christmas 2014), that's what it said. It was so hilarious (e.g. "Where, exactly, is deep inside michigan?"  ) that I remember it. Another no-name brand of water I picked up recently said it was Dallas Municipal water.

Bob Morales posted:I tell people the same thing because it's a loving rolling the dice if it will work or not loving port replicators... it really is a crap shoot about what happens when you anything with them; - Booting up usually doesn't display anything until you get to Windows, so it's a game of flapping the laptop screen up and down. - Plugging in you never know if your screens will appear in the right order, and of course nobody remembers how to configure them no matter how many times I tell them. - Unplugging carries the risk of the laptop screen just staying off, and not coming back unless you power cycle it. - Instead of a messy mess of cables on your desk, you get an ugly box with big chunk of cables pouring out of it with the box barely standing up.

Potato Alley posted:Is your... That was the design idea, now granted, we manufacture AVB products, so I had no problem making the pitch to put AVB in our new facility. We've got a pair of 670G2s that were supposed to be the AVB backbone between the data room and switch closet, but they were going to be shared use, some ports for normal crap, some ports for AVB. It looks like EAPS and AVB don't play together well at all. Somehow having EAPS turned on was loving up MVRP and dropping AVB ports in and out of various sys_vlans instead of leaving them the gently caress alone. And how do you not put Dante everywhere if you have Dante in the first place?

DigitalMocking posted:And how do you not put Dante everywhere if you have Dante in the first place? I DON'T KNOW. I mean there are a whole bunch of questions with a lot of the setup, like why is the video booth on the other side and two floors up from the audio recording studio (I mean yeah, it's a concert hall, not a production studio, but clearly they figured there would be need for both services so why not put them all in the same place so you can save on cabling complexity etc), and why are all the built-in cameras off center. (Having an establishing shot at the back dead center would seem to be loving intuitive, but nope, everything's at a 45 degree angle). I mean, I know why, it's because the back wall design is very clean and the seating is on all four sides of the stage (so people would be looking at the back wall) and it would look ugly to have the cameras there, so they moved them to be not as noticeable. Which as always with form over function is the loving wrong decision. But yeah, the POINT of Dante is to be your backbone audio network in the same way Ethernet is backbone data. And you can upgrade it to AVB. So why would you still run a bunch of loving analog lines everywhere yet not run Dante everywhere. Hell they ran FIBER everywhere, and a bunch of Cat6 drylines as well. Which is loving great, but it didn't occur to them to add a couple Cat6s directly run to the Dante switches (and the issue is the Cat6 drylines to the video booth don't come out where the Dante switches are, so you have to patch from THAT location using other Cat6 drylines back to the Dante switches, thus the > 100m length). Oh and it's never been clear whether this is a bug or a feature, but since the design of the place is (correctly, for acoustics) room within a room construction, with everything being made out of concrete and half below-ground, as soon as you walk in it's a complete cellphone dead zone. Really kind of a great feature for a concert hall, but annoying as gently caress since you basically become unreachable whenever you go in, and if you're a contractor you don't get wireless access.

poo poo pissing me off: Yesterday the server admin decided to make a change to Lync, it was a change we needed, we needed an Enterprise Edge pool as our single server was being overwhelmed, so that wasn't so bad. What was bad is that he loving broke everything, didn't tell ANYONE he was doing this work and then didn't test it and took off for the day. Lync still worked for IM but all voice traffic was hosed as the mediation server wouldn't start. No one but the server team knew anything was broken, because they're the only ones who get SCOM alerts. If I hadn't decided to drive to the new building and do some testing at 8 last night in the conference rooms we'd have walked into a TOTAL shitshow this morning.

Pissing me off, registered new domain names 1 at a time as CEO calls from a sales meeting. Just how many are you going to buy today? Spent almost $500 on domain names, when we let $500 worth of domain names we never used expire or going to expire later this year. What the hell is the plan of all of these? Do all companies own 50+ domain names? to be honest I don't care what they spent money on, domain names are paid by marketing / sales not IT. I do care that I'm getting them 1 at a time every 5-10 minutes instead of a list at the end of the meeting like it's going to be purchased from under us.
