Inspector_71 posted:Holy poo poo that is a sweet deal. What is even sweeter is that you can setup a catch-all email account and then give out email addresses that don't exist to websites and when they email they come to your catch-all. e.g. When I sign up for something I use that site name @ one of my domains. Whenever one of these addresses receives mail it comes to spambucket@mydomain. Now I can sort the mail by the sender. I can also create a group that doesn't allow people from the group to send to it to then blackhole the email address if I no longer ever want mail from it. If you want to send out from one of the addresses for some reason, you can just set the account up in outlook or temporarily create it in google apps. I managed to end up with 3 domains with the 200 account limit and am praying that they never take it away.

I wonder how many people take a Wendys gift card in exchange for overtime for this reason and consider it beating the system. I am pretty sure that is tax evasion on both the company's and individual's part.

One thing nice about where I am is that every laptop purchased must have a 4 year no fault warranty. If there is an issue outside of a warranty period it is time to get a new laptop.

You could use bootcamp and just boot into windows.

Jeoh posted:~*~ the cloud ~*~ Business needs prevent us from using The Cloud™ because we have many machines that have access to clinical data and no external internet access, additionally, we have research and medical data that can't leave our site for various reasons. We also have many special snowflake medical applications that want to run as stand alone instances but we can centralize using mapped drives. There are a huge number of annoyances/limitations with file shares, many that we have run up against, but it seems like there are plenty of legitimate business needs for them. I won't go into Sharepoint or others since the management overhead and learning curve for our environment vs the payoffs is very lopsided and it isn't a good fit.

This is why you shut up unless you are the HIPAA compliance officer. I deal with HIPAA poo poo all the time and if something seems awry I always kick it to the HIPAA compliance officer to examine and decide. This way I never say something definite about its legality. I do not have specialized training to make determinations and I am not paid nearly enough to. Also 95% of poo poo that seems like a HIPAA violation probably won't be actioned because the regulations have no teeth. The big penalties and poo poo happen only in cases of gross or negligence, continual non-compliance or willful, malicious acts. The actually IT security side is pretty vague. It isn't as delineated as the various finance laws.

Is it bigoted if I cringe when I place a support phone call and it is picked up by an Indian call center? Is it still bigoted if I don't have any issues with people from India aside from dealing with non-local tech support? Is it still bigoted when the reason I cringe is because of the race to the bottom competition for contracts that goes on there? Just want to make sure.

Daylen Drazzi posted:For me it was never so much that I didn't want to do it - I just couldn't afford to do it. Now that I've got a decent-paying job my first priority is to pay off all the bills that have managed to run up, then build up a emergency reserve, then finally save up some money for vacation. That's going to take at least a year, and I imagine that more poo poo will break down or need replaced in that time frame, pushing me back a little further. I really want to take a couple weeks off to go to Europe, but then I imagine all the paperwork I'd have to fill out in advance and after I come back as part of having a security clearance and I think maybe leaving the country isn't such a great idea (unless I can get on a contract that will relocate me to Europe - that would be great for a couple years). My ex had TS and she was able to travel without too much fuss. Are you sure it would be bad or just assuming?

Irritated Goat posted:Citrix environments. Well, just 1. A hospital runs about 90% off this poo poo and only allows 1 session but fails to realize when a session is logged out. We get calls 24/7 on THIS issue. Software company is like You can change a timeout setting to allow disconnects to close rather than hang waiting for a reconnect. http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127318 Not sure which version you are using but check that. To expand a bit, when you have an environment that allows only one session, if your gateway wants to send the user to a different application server than the one they disconnected from, it gives a concurrent connection error if there is still a disconnected session in the pool. You set a timeout to kill those disconnected sessions to avoid the problem. Demonachizer fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 19, 2014 |

I don't get paid enough and it pisses me off daily. I started super super low and have scratched out a minimum 5% raise per annum with as high as 15% some years. I am going in to ask for a 27% bump that will put me at making a little less than twice what I started at 5 years ago and only just what I feel is the correct amount for my experience, responsibilities and area (70k, 7 years, lots that I would rather not detail, Boston). EDIT: Told that nobody is getting more than 3% and that he understands if I need to go elsewhere. Demonachizer fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jul 29, 2014 |

dennyk posted:Unless losing/replacing you would be a giant pain in the rear end for someone who has real influence over the company purse strings, the only way you're getting a raise that big is to find a new job. I spent about a decade working at a company (well, a succession of companies if you take into account the endless mergers/buyouts) that never gave raises at all; I got a decent bump when I moved from my original company that they bought out to their corporate HQ in another city, and a pretty low (like 10%) raise with a later promotion. When I finally got fed up and left, I was getting paid so little that my new job (which was more or less the same position I was already in) ended up being a 60% pay raise, and it's not like the new company was overpaying or anything (they were pretty much middle of the market curve, while my salary at the previous company literally wasn't even on the graph Oh yeah the writing is on the wall. We were bought by another company a couple years back and it is clear that they are building up the core business to sell off soon for a profit so things like raises have been declining. It is sad because I do get 25 days vacation and around 12 holiday days a year which is really high in the US. The only other guy that has shared knowledge is going away on paternity leave for like 6 weeks in October so the timing is going to suck for my coworkers. We all work super well together and are friendly but I don't really buy into the whole loyalty thing if it is at the expense of my finances and family.

Weatherman posted:Just wondering here, but how feasible would it be for you and your colleagues to form your own company/partnership and contract yourselves out? I have discussed it with one of my coworkers. Between us we have 15 years experience in dental IT. We know the ins and outs of all of the various practice management software including backend. I am just super super super nervous about the idea of going on my own and being poor while doing so. There is a large number of private practices around and I do have some connections with dentists.

The tech folks changed the ticket to prevent putting in the same start and end date, so now what happens? Users are putting an end date the day after the start date. For 1- to 6-month assignments.

Collateral Damage posted:For some reason the accepted archiving solution here is "move it to an USB drive and put it in the non-fireproof safe in the same server room" instead of leaving it on the mirrored array that's in no risk of filling up anytime soon (especially as we're constantly reducing the amount of servers).. So that if we need to spin up an old VM again, we'd first have to wait a day for it to copy back from the USB drives. I assume you mean an external spinning platter drive using USB and not a large flash drive. NAND decay can mean that data is unavailable after being powered down for as little as 8 months.
