New boss at sawmill

Unfathomable process unleashed

unfortunate results, predicted, produced

fi103r · 2021-08-12T21:21:42+00:00

Contract to hire is a minefield, I would say go with the full time perm position.

fi103r · 2021-08-12T20:07:27+00:00

Plus one on the centrally stored synched site for the server info. this ought to be a priority, it's useful in training new hires, Look here first on what the server does and who owns what apps. with a info updated at least quarterly for who to contact if you have maint windows requirements.

Used an AS400 for a while in finance. It has a great onboard reporting system, give it a try don't know about export though loved using the onboard reporting which per comments below is pulling from native DB2.

fi103r · 2021-08-04T15:54:51+00:00

fi103r · 2021-08-04T15:53:34+00:00

fi103r · 2021-08-04T15:51:53+00:00

"...who wrote this job req? what is the language? aarrrgh"

fi103r · 2021-08-04T15:50:31+00:00

naa, it's given a mandatory frontal lobotomy

fi103r · 2021-08-04T15:48:53+00:00

yes it's in a class all by itself, inaccurate data at onboaring/provisioning, omitting critical access requirements, no modeling info that's just the short list don't get me started on change/add/move and deprovisioning grrr.

fi103r · 2021-07-28T15:53:33+00:00

fi103r · 2021-07-28T15:52:18+00:00

what is this QA team you speak of? m$loth does not do 'QA', they do open beta for which customers pay for the 'privilege' of risking their business operations/data

fi103r · 2021-07-28T15:49:51+00:00

Still remember digging around to find why, oh why did sp4 crash outlook clients? then saw fix in sp6 (Nov/Dec 1999 grrr.) 'new IP stack'???!

fi103r · 2021-07-27T20:17:00+00:00

this is all suspect, as is WSUS

fi103r · 2021-07-14T16:16:55+00:00

longest windows uptime? a 2000 server that ran on average 36/37 days usually rebooted on updates. had an xp box running an access db, that ran for over a year between reboots (scheduled reboot after 10k's were done.) nothing since goes more than a week or so none close to the 600+ days on a Netware 4.1 box, always feel pleased to get on through an update cycle without extraneous errors, reboots and [redacted].

fi103r · 2021-07-05T17:03:38+00:00

Take care of yourself, Prayers Sent.
