We went on holiday via the Eurostar last year and told the kids on the way back we'd swing over to Kings Cross to have a look at Platform 9 3/4. I got halfway across the hall, saw the fifty or so people queuing up to put their hand on half a trolley and said to the kids "Look, there it is! You've seen it, now we're getting our train."

I wonder if I have become blind to all the people... I did notice that giant lipstick they put in the middle of the concourse about a month ago though.

Some days you can go past and the queues are more than halfway across the concourse. It's also a way of knowing when a Monday morning is also a school holiday.

I love when clients think I'm a mind reader  . It's a little hard for me to configure something the way you want when you won't tell me how you want it configured.

pr0digal posted:I love when clients think I'm a mind reader What's just as bad is when you are the client and those giving you the service don't know what they want. I've got a web project dropped on me with an external developer asking to set them up with a domain and DNS records, so I got that sorted and then they asked for a SSL certificate. Simple enough but I was pretty busy at the time so I handed it off elsewhere to do in the mean time, couple days later the dev sent the wrong address for DNS forwarding and sent the wrong certificate signing request three drat times... so I look like the idiot middle-man stuck passing messages back and forth between parties, for something so simple I've just told them to speak directly to figure out where their main malfunction is.

^^ I'll never forget how I ask for documentation, make my own as well, and watch as people shrug and "forget" to provide their own documentation. My current company is telling me I have to choose between being a SME on a tool I specialize in that doesn't have a manager right now (open req due to my manager's role changing) and jumping into a team involved in an entirely different specialty with a great manager (my current one) moving into a role 2-3 steps up from that. Said manager likes me. IT thread question from the folks in here: Is it worth staying with a new manager who will work for my current boss or am I hosed moving away from my specialty, which I also enjoy? Basically "enterprise monitoring guy + networking (current)" vs "moving into IT sec as endpoint security". In either case I'm going to have a new manager. They're trying to hire more people (employees) and also add more managers and hit the more managers part much faster than the hiring more actual people part. We even had a meeting today with 3 employees and 6 managers (3 new).

xsf421 posted:I (an American) got offered a job in Alice Springs. How can anyone look at it on a map and think "Yes, I'd like to live there." I believe they put Alice Springs there because the train line went there. The train line went there because there was a telegraph station there. The telegraph station was there because there was a water hole there. The water hole has since dried up.

A crazy per.... err... customer complaint came in! A customer came in to our corp. office to complain that the wifi in our stores was "too loud". It makes his ears ring and causes headaches. Making it difficult for him to shop there. While lodging this complaint, he was standing directly under one of our office APs; no more than 2 feet away from his head. Didn't seem to have a problem then...

Maybe he can hear the whine of the fluorescent lighting and decided at some point that he was hearing WiFi? And WiFi rots your brain don't you know?

I can hear a constant whine from electricity used in most lights, and a large number of TVs (although it was a LOT worse in old CRT TVs than in LCD ones). If I pay attention to it, it's annoying as hell.

I'd love to show those guys the directional wireless antennas we're using to span a 1 kilometer gap across a city and watch them writhe in imaginary pain every time they think about how many GHz are microwaving their brain juice.

I wonder how they deal with the knowledge that basically every store and establishment (and customer, what with mobile hotspots) has wifi now, even if just for employee use.

I somehow managed to wrangle leaving work at 1130 today to go to the colo, when in reality I took a nap in the car for an hour and now I'm waiting to get a bite with a former coworker. And I'm working from home tomorrow.

Maybe they're one of those weirdos who can detect radio waves or "hear" electromagnetic interference, sorry but your network beats were just too dank! That's what happens when you go all the way up to channel 11!

If I pay attention to it, it's annoying as hell. I had a big old CRT TV when I was in college that I could only use for limited periods of time because it gave me massive headaches because of the constant whine/buzz sound coming from it that seemingly no one else noticed.

I had a failing power supply that would emit a high pitch squeal when under stress in a computer and it was funny/interesting to see who gave a poo poo and who didn't. Under 25 and they were onto it, the old dudes that were 35+ didnt even notice.

I set up server monitoring at work. A routine task might be to monitor a TCP port, and trigger an alarm if it doesn't reply after two consecutive attempts in five minutes. Today I got asked to set up a similar monitor for UDP. Not sure what they were expecting me to look for. Maybe I'll trigger an alarm if I do get a UDP reply.
