This post is from page one, and it still makes me :lol:

to this day:

xarph posted:

From a former life, names changed to protect myself although I could care less about the subject:

I worked for a large company of the sort that gets to dictate terms to the likes of Microsoft and Apple. One fine fiscal half, an advertising company was acquired. Some employees of the advertising company were kept. Others were dismissed. A subset refused to sign certain papers and thus were disappeared.

One of the employees that survived the culling was a man who, for the purposes of this story, shall be named Jack Brentwood. Jack's job was to create banner advertisements. At the old company, he received certain concessions from IT as befitting his stature. This was not the case at his new employer, despite his unwillingness to believe such a thing.

Upon arrival and orientation, his user account was created. The automated system in place doled out his new username, which was jbrentwood. He did not like this. A ticket came into my queue, requesting in very firm wording that his account be renamed to "ImJackBrentwood" (caps inclusive).

Now, requests to change user names is nothing new. Women requested them all the time to dispose of their maiden names. However, this was generally discouraged given the extremely large infrastructure in place at this company. Instead, an offer was made to create an email alias with the desired new name. Ninety percent of the time, this was acceptable. If it wasn't, we could change the name, but the user would be unable to log in to any network services for round-about four hours.

Jbrentwood was insistent that we rename his account. An email alias would not be acceptable - he MUST be able to log into any internal service using "ImJackBrentwood." To reinforce the fact that he had to be able to log into any internal service using "ImJackBrentwood," he attached his email signature, which contained his Skype name, AIM screenname, Yahoo screenname, MSN screenname, and Twitter, all of which were "ImJackBrentwood." Presumably, the passwords for all of these services were either identical or variations on a theme, but this was mere theory on my part. It was the only sane excuse I could think up - perhaps he had a strange condition that necessitated muscle memory in order to fill in a username box.

And so, jbrentwood became ImJackBrentwood, and there was much rejoicing.

A month later, another ticket came into the queue which I immediately grabbed due to the unusual username - ImJackBrentwood. ImJackBrentwood, it seemed, required some internet-facing web space on which to store preview advertisement banners for clients. This was not a simple request. Any content that faced the internet at large was handled by a very specific group of gatekeepers. What ImJackBrentwood required - a windows file share where he could drag and drop files to appear magically on the public internet - was flat out against the rules.

The company had many services that were exposed to the internet and allowed user-generated content. Surely one of those would suffice? Negative - the 20MB quota would not do for such important tasks as previewing advertisement banners.

And so ImJackBrentwood's request was escalated, per policy, to the first gates of Network Security. Network Security understood the request, and described an enormous list of checks, bylaws, and regulations that would have to be satisfied before an easement could be granted between ImJackBrentwood's explorer.exe and The Internet.

All of IT rested that evening, for no one had completed the herculean task of satisfying Network Security's boilerplate regulations without support from The Almighty.

A week later, an email roughly the size of a professional athlete's prenuptial agreement appeared in the ticket. Network Security's bluff had been called by ImJackBrentwood! Newspapers were stopped and the ticket, per policy, was duly sent to the Black Gate of Sysops.

The Sysops denied the request within fifteen minutes.

ImJackBrentwood raised a fuss and had the ticket escalated.

The BoFH on duty denied the request within ten minutes.

ImJackBrentwood raised a fuss and had the ticket escalated.

The King Sysop denied the request within five minutes.

ImJackBrentwood raised a fuss and had the ticket escalated.

The Emperor Sysop of the Western Hemisphere examined the ticket, and wrote an email which to the best of my memory read verbatim:

quote:
Dear Sir,

This task you have described would require a redesign of our infrastructure and incur an estimated cost of $100,000 in new hardware purchases as well as $10,000 in labor.

From examining the ticket and inferring time spent on this issue, over $1,500 of company time has been consumed on your request. This could have purchased several years worth of third party hosting which would have satisfied both your needs and our security policies.

Request denied.

ImJackBrentwood resigned a month later and moved to Mexico.

Sham I Am posted:

Why yes I am IT,
But no longer the desk,
Why not send them an email?
Yes that would be best.

You "pinged" them you say,
And had no reply?
Who else will fix it?
No one else but I.

So tell me just now
The issue you had?
And let me assure you,
It can't be that bad.

You pressed on this icon?
Click
Click
Click
Click
But no paper comes out
Not even a lick?

Like all good IT
I start from the start,
And check that the printer
Is set as default.

Next I look to the tray,
And click on the spool
Alas it is empty
I do feel the fool

Everything here
It looks like its right
So I walk to the printer
"Could you turn on that light?"

I pull up the top
No toner depleted,
I look in the drawer
There is paper to feed it.

Issues we've had
In the past with this type
So lets cut to the chase
And avoid all the hype

Crack open the panel
The ram is well seated
Not sure what to do
I may be defeated!

What is this then
That catches my eye?
Something is amiss
And also awry

A card with no lights
Not a blink to be seen
I will check that out next,
What else can be gleaned?

I follow the cable,
Straight to the patch
But before I get far
I find a small catch

For the cable you see,
Between printer and jack
Has somehow been cut
Straight through and in half!

"Well now" I say
"I have found whats amiss
Does anyone know
What happened to this?"

No answers are had
Four people stand silent
But they see from my look
I am about to get violent

"It's not us to blame"
one engineer squeaks
"It must have been IT
When you fixed it last week!"

A new hero emerges! Click for the saga of larchesdanrew, worth the read...

Things I can think of would be:

- Summary of Dick Trauma / Rod / the whole "in a pod" meme

He was actually the best boss I've ever had since I started working 18 years ago. Put more time and effort into my professional development than all my other bosses combined.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at.

DNS is like the phone book, if there is no entry for "wc-roads.com" no one can get there. For us, best practice is having "www.wc-roads.com" be a CNAME to "wc-roads.com" and the root "wc-roads.com" be an A record so you only have to update 1 thing. They don't have an A record at all for "wc-roads.com" but they do have an A record for "www.wc-roads.com" so if you don't use www you don't get anything.

Hey. Like I said in my email to you guys a month ago, I needed to get paid in full before I would do any more work or renew the domain. You guys ignored me as you normally do when I ask about money so the site expired.

Well I just spoke to the CEO, he said if you bring everything online, he may consider paying you.

I think were at the point now where if he pays me what he owes me, I may consider bringing the site back up.

We bought another company in December of last year. We merged together phone systems in May/June of this year. I discovered that up until today, if a customer of that other company called in and pressed the right options on their phone tree (about 75% of the time) the were dropped into an extremely unfriendly "We are available on the web 24*7 at https://www.oldcompany.com/support via email at support@oldcompany.com or if you are a dedicated customer, look at your sales documentation for your dedicated support number" loop that had NO VOICE MAIL PROMPT. Because of our synergistic branding, someone had the idea to put newcompany logos with a link to the newcompany support page at the top of oldcompany's support page, and removed all the oldcompany support phone numbers.

Can you guess what happened?

We have a slingbox hooked up to our giant cable ingress box so the company owner can watch canadian sports broadcasts from the states/the tropics/wherever over the internet from his ipad. Recently cogeco cable turned off analog broadcasts for good, so the slingbox stopped being able to decode anything from the cable feed (except for christian broadcasts and CSPAN for some reason). We ordered a cable box. I patched it in. Alright, now it can decode the channels properly, but there's no way to control the cable box to change channels without physically standing in front of it in the server room pointing the remote control at it. We ordered an IR blaster to relay channel change signals from the virtual remote on the slingbox. It doesn't fit the connector, slingbox uses a 2.5mm connector instead of a standard 3.5mm connector. We ordered a 2.5mm-3.5mm mono adapter. I can't wait to find out the reason it doesn't work!

I love my slingbox, oh so much. It appears that you'll be fine with that adapter as many on ebay list that in the details.

There really should be a "gently caress printers" emoticon.

I'm thinking an homage to Office Space with an recognizable laser printer or something like it pictured just before a bat/hammer/fist comes down and smashes it all to hell.

Thoughts?

Maybe just replace the victim in with a printer, and the word off with printers? Maybe the blood could turn into toner and give the hammer wielder cancer.

Oooh maybe. I think that's a decent jumping off point, let's see what the hive mind comes up with.

Phase One of a ahge project finished today. Migrated our ticketing system to a new server, and it was an interesting adventure. Total new build from scratch to fix some horrible database issues from previous upgrades.

On the plus side, I already have a bunch of the Phase Two stuff done...
