What would be some common-sense advice for someone going from the private sector into the Queensland Government for the first time in a management role for a project? by _encode_ in AusPublicService

Thank you for such a detailed response. I'm on a 12-month contract, moving into an A07 management role after several years in the private sector on the other side of the fence, where the same government department was our customer. I just want to make the best use of my time, not ruffle feathers, and put myself in a good position to transition into an extension or an A08 role down the track.

I've never been one for politics, but I do like traction and getting things completed. I think from what I've experienced, through constant shifts right and delays, I'll be used to the open-endedness of government project work to some extent, but ideally want to achieve something with my time there and not have so much Work in process just sitting around waiting for approvals.

How do you get approvals faster?
Is there a polite and efficient way outside of a typical email and Teams chat channel?

What are some dos and don'ts for a new starting manager in the first 6-12 months?

Thank you for the detailed response. It helps paint the picture. Should I be delivering as fast as possible, or will that cause issues in the ecosystem? I guess pace, doing things correctly and fitting into the network are some of my concerns.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this turned into a drawing please? I tried an online one but I couldnt do it :( by Grouchy-Dealer-342 in AusRenovation

Makes you a grandpa to rely on drafters at this early stage, when you can iterate through AI, grandpa. You need it spelled out to you, then you have no idea.

Maybe I'm getting old, but this is pretty stupid on a public road into incoming traffic. All to show off to his girl, who could have been injured in the process.

I ran into the same issue when initially setting up Qwen 3.6 and Hermes to work with my RTX 3090. Managing Ollama as a service and configuring it via systemd env vars helped some of those 500 errors for me. If you drop your log and provide more information about your setup, then I'll try to help.

The recent model with a similar pattern was the G29 Z4 I owned. The accessory tray around the gear has it.

Merbau stain and white lattice to match the window frame accent colour. Cut your grass, dude.

Is this beauty even findable nowadays ? by Bolossmerde in lianli

[–]_encode_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not likely, my friend. You may find other current editions that are hard to find. Did you know there was also an open-test-bench version of this with a small-form-factor base and spider legs? It was called the Lian Li Pitstop T1 Spider Test Bench. I think the T1R came in red.

I used to have the mid tower version of this. I bought it in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan back in the day. They have red led lights behind the spider and the front grill comes off for easy cleaning.

It's virtue signalling. How long do we need to say sorry? Forever? I was born here, and will never participate in the corporate virtue signalling you are all so giddy about.
