We just migrated from Great Plains on prem (in Citrix) for our primary financial system to Workday. They want to keep the GP system (which includes Citrix) online for at least one more year.

I got a guy who is absolutely fuming that my team has asked to stand up a mender server instead of using Aws IOT for remote shell access during development. He’s not even on my team and has nothing to do with the product development, he’s just working on a server that we will connect to to query every once in a while. After his 5th email about this subject I finally went with the standard gently caress you email: quote:Hi $name He proceeded to send THREE MORE EMAILS demanding we capitulate to his whims. To which I replied back with the same email with slightly different wording. Some guys. Yeash

After hearing so many complaints about how the 80k+ a year project managers are useless(they are and most were people removed from positions but not outright fired) the CIO has created the "office of the cio" staffed with, you guessed it, more project managers. Now in addition to managing my own projects, customers, and vendors, I also have to be subjected to telling these new "CSM's" over the phone what's going on with a project that was in an email weeks ago.

NGL after talking with the PM they sent to manage wind down and clean up who didn't know how to do basic Excel stuff (the thing they live in), didn't plan or manage anything, and admittedly took on projects he knew nothing about and was just a warm body with a PMP, I wanted to get my PMP so I can get in on the grift too. Like, if we're going to be completely hand to mouth the whole time and have to guide ourselves anyway, why does this here bankrupt closed down hospital system fly your happy fat rear end all the way from Texas to California weekly?

I have a coworker who's into crypto. He is an otherwise clever guy, and he doesn't talk about it when he's alone, but I have a weekly meeting with some other guy who's into crypto, and always brings it up (and that meeting is at 10 AM on Monday to add insult to injury) this thread seemed the appropriate place, because it pisses me the gently caress off

Internet Explorer posted:Presentation Server? Profile on each server? Citrix boxes were originally called Metaframe Presentation Servers since their marketing schtick was to say their virtualized apps were the middle ground between running full apps on endpoints or running terminals talking back to a mainframe. The problem with ibm software was it didn’t work with roaming profiles and every terminal client had config files in the users directory, so every Citrix box that hosted the terminal software had to have a local copy of a user profile with those config files.

In the quarter century that USB has been around I've never heard anyone say anything except the three letters. Sure maybe they run it together so it's "yous-B", but one syllable? Some people.

Yeah, I'm very familiar with all that, was mostly just commiserating. Although the lack of working with roaming profiles sounds odd and IBM-like, but could probably be solved with modern roaming profiles equivalent these days. Having profiles tied to a machine is really a pain in the rear end.

I wonder how some people get out of bed. I had a user complain to the "assistant regional manager" that my program exports data differently than another location, and isn't working with an excel spreadsheet that the other location gave them. Why were the charts not updating? They were charts exported from Statgraphics....

Thanks Ants posted:Nobody understands certificates I sure don’t. I mean, I guess there’s a main certificate and then there’s a second certificate generated somehow but gently caress if I know how they work. I stood up a CA in my home Windows domain because I wanted to get my stack of devices on the same cert so I could stop acknowledging the unverified certificate errors, but I kept downloading things and uploading them in other places and then downloading them again, but nothing ever worked.

Got back from vacation today with plans to work with a BA prepping the test environment for UAT later this week. Hmm. Windows authentication to the SQL Server is not working in any of the non-prod environments (but SQL auth is). I guess I'll remote into the SQL server from the VPN to see if something looks funky. Hmm. It now requires NLA and won't let me connect. Kinda feels like the customer made some more changes without making anyone aware! I submitted a ticket mid-day and they still haven't figured it out. PM said if it wasn't resolved mid-morning tomorrow, UAT will be pushed. I can't wait for it to get resolved late afternoon tomorrow and the customer PM expecting us to work into the evening hours to keep on schedule. This is the guy who didn't understand why people logged off of their PCs at EOB when working from home because "You're already at home. Where do you have to go?"

lmao, signed up for a demo slot showing off my Google secrets manager Implementation. Fun stuff with terraform, service accounts, pub/sub and Cartesian products. anyways I thought demo day was this Friday. It’s actually Monday morning at 9am, and I of course had already signed up to be the first presenter. I found out my mistake at midnight right before getting into bed. Anyways it’s currently 4:20am; I have a baller of a presentation with a full 1500 word long speech rehearsed and accompanying outfit all prepared, and I am HERE for this surprise nostalgia trip! Cramming till the wee hours of the morning to slay a procrastinated paper was my poo poo in university, and I’m bizarrely happy (or just sleep deprived) to be doing so again! now for a well deserved joint and four blissful, beautiful hours of rest.
