Stories like that make me happy that the vendor I use for VoIP is so helpful. I frequently get the owner on the phone (cause it's a small shop) and he openly admits to not being a super good tech. That aside, he is absolutely amazing at describing exactly what he is seeing and how he produces it. So he may not be able to give me the exact RTP description of what's on fire, but by god can he tell me where I need to look. He is the reason I don't do VoIP. Leave it to the people who are good at it, then come to me when it's the network stomping on your sand castle.

poo poo pissing me off: creation timestamps for images randomly changing in gcr.io. Check the repos for the build files, no changes. What? Start worrying that production env's been compromised as we're getting images from unknown sources. poo poo. Have an idea out of nowhere. What happens if I alter the tags assigned to a container image? The creation timestamp gets reset to the time when the tags were changed. At least I didn't spend hours on it, only twenty minutes, but still. It's me. I've become the problem.

With regard to VoIP , a lot of issues don’t have relevant log event information available and can’t be reproduced/ are someone else’s problem on another network/ are people being dumb and not operating devices correctly. Given that it’s obnoxious to dig down into these things when there’s nothing actually happening when someone reports a problem - and even still there are 99 layers involved. Like a now retired coworker would tell me : You have to be smarter than the object you are dealing with

It was like Christmas when I first fired it up yesterday using my own home router and our beta PBX as data sources and saw all the SIP messages listed off in a format even my boss could use.

Conversation with the owners kid before work: HEY BOB YOU EVER TAKE NOTES ON THE COMPUTER? LOOK AT THIS DUMB PAD OF PAPER I HAVE LOL Well we use Evernote and OneNote but we haven't really tried using a tablet or pen with it LOL WE HAVE THOSE OLD IPADS YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK Maybe but if you want to use the Pencil thing you need a new iPad or iPad Pro. The new iPads are only like $300 you're rich just buy one. LOL I DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY YOU KNOW I'M CHEAP Alright well if you need help downloading the Evernote app or whatever just come back later Always asks about poo poo then never wants to buy anything to do it. Also he won't ever buy anything for himself, he'll just weasel someone in accounting to sell him a still good 2-year old laptop or something from our inventory for like $30. "THATS ALL ITS WORTH"

Bob Morales posted:==Owners kid== I don't know if this is worse, or when the CFO asked me to give a tour of the server room to their 16 year old son. He used a server as a table for a coffee that I told him he couldn't bring into the server room, which got the CFO to come and tell me he wasn't going to put it anywhere and to give him a tour it's a loving coffee. He then got really upset when I told him he couldn't put that there and that there was a perfectly good table by the door he could use. "You're going to tell me my? What are you 4? If it spills my mom will just buy you a new one god". Yeah get hosed, he did pick it up when I clearly wasn't amused. e: To clarify: I'm 99% sure the CFO would have been super upset, I just really didn't want to get in the middle of it. He had the day off of school and she thought taking him into the office would be a great idea. Then when he got bored because the computer I set him up on with local admin (clean install wiped after) so he could install games couldn't play Call of Duty. I guess giving him a tour of each department was the next thing on this list. I had assumed he was interested in IT when the CFO first asked. I'd be happy to give a 16 year old with an interest in technology a tour of a server room. pixaal fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jun 14, 2018 |

Subject: RE: NetSuite: Avail Your Complimentary Hours Hi xxxxxx, I am sure you must be getting lot of emails. I just want to make sure that you got the following email. Kindly let us know if you are interested to avail the complimentary hours for any of your requirements. Let me know if you need more information. Kind Regards, Anirban Samanta Our guy who's replacing our CFO (and is probably going to be my boss by the end of the year) just fowarded me that email and asked, "What should we have them work on for 10 hours?"

Speaking of "nice" executives, I just saw the picture wall besides my CEOs desk. It contains, as expected, pictures of him with various people (among whom are his wife/girlfriend), a BMW (his? no idea), and some nice landscapes. What was not quite expected were 3 pictures with the following things on them: a picture of a Menorah, a picture with Joseph Goebbels in full military attire with a quote from him, a picture of an Ayn Rand quote. Goebbels and Ayn Rand. Thanks for letting me know who you are, I guess.

Or, it could be what one would normally expect from a National Socialist Party leader.

But still.. why.. most of his quotes are about controlling the public through propaganda
