Dick Trauma posted:People who leave a voicemail saying "Call me" or "I have a quick question." Just tell me what you want in the message, you dumbshits. You don't have to keep your message below five seconds. Not to mention the length of time it takes to retrieve a voicemail from our ancient phone system. 7 keypresses.

Bob Morales posted:Instead of using Microsoft Visio, which I've used for years and is kind of the standard diagram/flowchart program, I'm forced to use SmartDraw, which my boss bought because it was $199 instead of $299 for Visio. Cheap gently caress. Smartdraw is terrible. It's just bad software that is terrible to use and even worse to manage.

luminalflux posted:gently caress daylight savings time. Back when Australia hosted the olympics in 2000, they extended DST for a month or so. Gave us months of warning. Microsoft released a patch specifically to adjust the times on Windows. It didnt work. Nothing worked. Our clocks were hosed for a week, even Bank ATMs shat themselves. You cant just decide to change the clock on a whim! Time is sorta important! Edit - Maybe it was 2006 Commonwealth games? Either way, it hosed me.

Are there services out there for testing the upload speed of a link? I need to verify the capacity of our newly installed internet link. Everything Google turns up like speedtest.net is a tiny upload file which is usually finished in 5 seconds. I need to have a sustained upload over an hour or more so I can point to a graph and say "Yes this link is maxed at 20mbit"

incoherent posted:Doooooooo yooooooouuuuuuuuu have an odd situation where one person cannot login to a muti-user file if it's already open, but if they open it first and another person opens the file, it works magically? I slayed this beast and it was the greatest feeling of accomplishment in my career. It was some bullshit to do with the service account on the server that houses the quickbook files. It was running as QBUser31 instead of QBUser32. (It didnt match the client version). I'm pretty sure there are an infinite number of other causes of the same issue though. Incidentally, what is the process like moving from QB to Xero? Anyone done it? I know there's a dude on here that works for them.

Someone in one of these threads mentioned they use JIRA to log tickets, but they are the only one in thier business who uses it. He maintained it simply for his own benefit. I want to do the same thing (JIRA seems cheap). Got any advice?

Sarcasmatron posted:JIRA is complete overkill for what you're describing. The reason I liked JIRA was for the experience of using a good service desk program. Really the one I choose isn't important. I've never worked somewhere with a formal ticketing system before and I want the experience so I don't get boned at a job interview or something. Plus it's just good practice to log tickets.

Well the CEO sent mail to 500 recipients last week and now we're on the messagelabs blacklist. But messagelabs doesnt tell you that you're on it - they just take your mail and dont deliver it to the recipient. Messagelabs wont talk to me without a support contract. What a mess.

Hosted jive here. Expensive. Good lord. 5% of the firm understand what it's for. I encourage people to use it but we have an office culture that discourages it's use. ie: if you're using Jive you're not billing. Why aren't you billing? Edit: wouldn't mind chatting with other jive users about your use of it. I'm about to become the guy who manages it and would like to hear how if others are failing to use it in the same way we are.

edit ^ How can a company be cognitive enough to pay for a pentest but not write in a loving password checkerer? The Melbourne cup (Horse race) ran today. Every year we put it on for the staff to watch. This year I couldn't get a signal through our godawful AV setup. Turns out the TV signal runs through an old analog VCR, and my area has retired analog transmission. To do list: purchase digital tuner for boardroom.

Dick Trauma posted:The president of one of my best tech vendors called today because he thinks there might be an opportunity for me to work with them. They target my industry and my inside knowledge applies to pretty much everyone in our business. I'm not sure if this would be a good fit or if the work would be too sporadic to be a real job but I'll be giving it some thought and calling him back to discuss it further. It was nice to be thought of by someone I consider highly competent.
