Is there a point where an inkjet is actually economical? With the way they consume cartridges over time i would think that a laser is always going to be cheaper to run, even under light loads.

RFC2324 posted:Is there a point where an inkjet is actually economical? With the way they consume cartridges over time i would think that a laser is always going to be cheaper to run, even under light loads. I've run into issues where the (inkjet) printer was used rarely enough that cartridges clogged up and were rendered useless even with ink left in them. They either printed nothing, or, more commonly, produced streak-covered garbage. The consumer-level laser that I had them get instead hasn't had that problem, that I've heard about. So to answer your question, I highly doubt it at this point in history.

Anyone fancy a job on the west coast of Denmark? Government job with somewhat decent pay and excellent pension. A coworker quit for a lateral move to another job, and the pickings are kinda slim out here. Houses are cheap out here, or just buy a farm, or an island.

nitrogen posted:Documentum sounds like a terminal disease. Documentum could be classified as that. It's got a rock solid back end that is incredibly flexible if you have a team that is willing to build on it, but EMC's latest offerings in the document management side are pretty bad and I don't expect them to be still in the game a few years from now. We had them come in and demo D2, and they spent the first hour pitching "Horizons", which isn't even released yet. Apparently the last time we had them come in they were pitching D2 for the first hour, which wasn't even released at the time either. One of the people doing the sales meeting was really smart, but the other one didn't like me or my questions. The good news is they finally replaced the Java Web Client plugin that is required to use all the product features... with another plugin that is completely home grown and a separate one for each browser.

Citizenship is not required, but you do need to have a work permit, be able to pass a low-level security check, and you'd be in a somewhat weak position if you can't speak Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian. stubblyhead posted:Couldn't "west coast of Denmark" technically mean Greenland though?

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? The company where I'm working has at least 3819, just with a cursory reverse Whois search.

hihifellow posted:How are you signing the cert with the CA? I remember Windows CA disliking linux cert requests because they lack a defined template so I had to sign them with a command-line utility and tell it to use the web server template. I'm phone posting so I can't really look up more information but maybe this will get you on the right track. certreq -submit -config "MyIssuingCA" -attrib "CertificateTemplate:templateName" CertRequest.csr I've always just done that on the CA itself but it's probably not best practice. I'm also a big fan of using RequestPolicy files, but we don't do much certificate issuing outside of our templates so those might not be a great idea if you're doing a lot of one off or custom stuff.

Backstory: Over the last two months, our company has lost every single IT manager except one (while my role is dealing with a lot of technology and rollouts and other brick a brack, I'm not in the actual IT department). So, I get a panicked email from a data entry person. "I had to set this up as a 2015 job because 2016 isn't in the system [our ERP]!" followed by about 14 pages of IT Devs (who ar all consultants at this point) discussions about tracing what business functions rely on the date and how to address adding new years. It's a reporting code tied to a user-editable list. I log in, update the user-editable list, and then respond to everyone from the email chain that's spinning wheels unnecessary-like and go "This is a list and is only used for querying/sorting in reports. I have added the next five years in." Cue 60x 13-year-old-level angsty kid emails about how I shouldn't modify things without testing, first. Except that this is literally a useless field with no business function attached to it. Bet anyone  that I'll be dragged into a meeting with the execs in a few days to explain to them that IT shouldn't give two damns about this stuff.

It's the same as entering something like payroll information. Gotta enter Jimmy's time into Dev each week first! A user-editable list, specifically designed and with no script/dev work hanging off of it is just that: a user-editable list. Edit: And I noticed I called it a "user list" for some reason. Updated that.

Indignation on behalf of someone else - it seems that our company's new policy, in order to formalize incident management, is requiring an all hands bridge pretty much any time someone sneezes in production. This is stupid enough, but the technical teams who will be on these bridges generally rotate, so for someone like myself, this manifests more as a laughable stupidity, and not a life ruining infuriation. However, they expect the operations manager to manage all of these incidents. This means that she's getting on calls every few hours, every day. This has only been happening a few days, since Saturday or Sunday, but you can already hear the exhaustion in her voice. What on earth are companies like my own thinking? Just work this person to death, go weeks until they can slot someone else in, rinse repeat? It's pretty pathetic. MC Fruit Stripe fucked around with this message at 07:31 on May 25, 2016 |

Being seen to do something trumps actual progress on an issue. I lost an argument where I was trying to explain that Aerohive changes could be made remotely and scheduled to deploy outside of business hours because our MD had promised the customer a person on-site in an evening (no it wasn't me, I became suddenly busy), instead of promising a resolution to their problem.

We've got ~$150k worth of their gear spread between three K-12 schools with four more on the plate as money is found. From a deployment & management standpoint they're about as reliable as I could ever ask for, though the HiveManager (non-NG) isn't the most intuitive outside the configuration wizard. Also the default radio profiles are hot garbage, if you can snag one of their engineers for a few hours they'll get everything optimized for your environment. I'm no eloquent reviewer but if you've got specific questions I know there's myself and a handful of other posters running decently-sized AH setups.

Once we got through the optimization issues, our aerohive deployment has been solid. We have a challenging environment too; warehousing with lots of metal shelves with metal product on them, so the building is basically one giant faraday cage. Once we tweaked wireless settings and got rid of our lovely 10+ year old 802.11b scanners, complaints in the warehouse have been nonexistent for the most part.

Which of course crashes headlong in to the fact that a good IT person automates everything they can and these days any hardware worth a poo poo has enough remote management capability that I can do 95% of my job from literally anywhere on the planet that has an internet connection. If you remove installing wiring from the list it's been about two years since I've done anything on site that actually required an on site visit, but I still have managed to put 19,000 miles on my car in 10 months while theoretically working from home the whole time.
