CLAM DOWN posted:Calgary is bigger and denser, but has more oil/gas headquarters. Edmonton is closer to the tar sands up north, and is the capital so has a lot of public sector, as well as a big university and more green space/parks. Neither are close to Denver, I used to travel there for work and Denver is a way more metropolitan/major city. As a Vancouverite, I am honour bound to say that both Edmonton and Calgary are shitholes, but if you're young dumb and full of cum like Methanar they're the place to be compared to the many small isolated rural communities. Been to Vancouver, very cool place. A little too humid and wet for me. Calgary seems like Denver as far as a city at the boarder between mountain and plains. Definitely want to visit there and Edmonton one day soon. A smaller, slightly more cold version of Denver sounds neat.

Here's some Monday content: I can't remember if it was in this thread or another IT thread (or maybe even a non-IT thread), but someone mentioned Denmark looking for tech workers the last time I mentioned wanting an EU passport... if that person could PM me, I would be appreciative.

We had a huge storm and a tree fell down in my lawn so I’ve been pretending to be a lumberjack. It’s a much better life than IT.

I had an interview for a CIO position today where the guy doing the interviewing said they were really happy with their current CIO and they are looking to go from a "B" to a "B+."

I think it's more a politics thing. Current person has been doing a good job, he just hasn't played enough politics and some of the big-wigs think they can find someone who can kiss their asses better. Like the person I was interviewing straight up said, he's fine, does fine at conflict resolution, their network runs great, end users like the IT department, etc., etc., he just hasn't "converted his detractors." Either they have no idea the shitstorm they are about to unleash, or they caught the guy doing some real bad poo poo that they don't want to disclose. The money is $$$$ but I'm just not even sure I want to walk into whatever the hell is going on.

You are walking into an org who wants to replace the CIO who is doing well. Sounds like a nightmare. If they would do this to the current CIO they will do it with you.

What do you think the odds are of the first day at that job involving an awkward meeting with the current CIO in his office and the words "this is your replacement, you're fired" from your new boss?

Given the "OH HEY WE'LL SHOW YOU OUT THE BACK DOOR" that happened today, fairly high. There's pretty much 0 chance I'd take the job, but I'll go through the motions for practice.

Oh good, my manager is back from vacation. Which means his daily emails full of generic “inspirational” grandma on Facebook level garbage are back too.

Why are shared drives even a thing? Why can't I just have a GPO make shortcuts or publish all the paths on the intranet instead? So much time is wasted just trying to explain to users that their "I: drive" is not the same as everyone else's "I:" drive. Also just trying to figure out what the gently caress they're talking about when they say "I can't access the X: Y: and Z: drives" because all the loving shares are hidden and I have no goddamn idea what folder they're supposed to have mapped (and neither do they.)

They decided it was too complicated so we went back to the spreadsheet. We have this to a degree, but things get all sorts of hosed up because nothing is actually documented and departments have split and combined all over the place and there's constant turnover so nobody knows what the gently caress they need access to, or where poo poo is, and just put whatever they want where ever they want and demand that other people be given access to that place. So you wind up with one department director that has their GPO map their "I: drive" plus a login script JUST FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE loving SPECIAL, that maps like 8 other department's "I: drives" to different letters and now they're running around telling everyone that the document they need is in the "Q:" drive and all of a sudden there's a wave of people from 6 different departments that are all pissed and demanding "Q:" drive access.  YOU ALL HAVE AN "S:" USE THAT. "S: is for sharing, and sharing is caring."

They decided it was too complicated so we went back to the spreadsheet. My favorite part of the crypto rebuild we just went through was putting DFS and RBE in place. One file server replaced ...10 I think. No more branch servers. No more having to remember what godawful 6 letter idiot code some moron from 8 years ago named the Richmond server. Side note: Why did we as a people decide that 3 letter codes were good enough for server names? This is some holdover from the bad old days of like, DOS and ARPANET or something isn't it? What's wrong with files.domain or something? Why is it always SER-MHT-DDM-01-W-SAV-01.domain? I get wanting a descriptive name for stuff but it's not like there's something stopping you from using DNS to make things actually readable.

George H.W. oval office posted:I’ll take 3 letters over loving Mordor, Zeus, Alderaan any day of the week Oh god yes. My current boss believes in obfuscation of servers by picking random names like this. I won't change his mind though, even though a simple dns query will return every DC in the domain and their names. That time is over though, acquiring company has a naming standard in place, which will make life easier.
