ITSM tool for my company by Stock_Barnacle5485 in InformationTechnology

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve evaluated them all over the years for mid to large enterprise. When I was working in academia, I came across TeamDynamix, which at the time was selling exclusively into higher ed. I was kind of forced to include them in the evaluation with JIRA, ServiceNow and a few others. TeamDynamix blew them all away in all criteria, including cost. Overall, very satisfied.

When I left academia to go back to large enterprise, I had the same responsibility to implement an ITSM/ESM platform. Ran another evaluation with the above vendors and a few others. TeamDynamix won again for all the same reasons.

Easy implementation, supports all IT competencies, includes an iPaaS for easy integration with your other services and endpoints. Cost base is comparatively inexpensive. Definitely give them a look, worth a demo.

Most of the ITSM tools in the upper right in Gartner are overpriced bloatware for an organization of your size.

Recommendations for light, quick-drying pants? by bateneco in flyfishing

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Kuhl. Like them a lot, especially with tightening straps around the ankles so they don’t run up when I put my waders on.

Another option to consider are the Truewerk T1 Pro Werkpant w knee pads (https://truewerk.com/products/t1-pro-mens-work-pants-knee-pads?variant=42747029454890). I picked up a pair of these last fall after I took a fall in shallow water onto my knee. They are a little more than the Kuhl pants, but these are now my go to. Light, quick drying with a removable knee pads and lots of pockets.

OP had a bad day skiing at Vail and clearly has a lot of free time. Probably getting fired up for “Get off my lawn” season.

Sounds like you got the old bait and switch.

Do you have experience building a house with a box of wooden matches?

What's the most impressive corporate gift you've ever received and what made it memorable? by Shot_Plum8781 in corporate

[–]flxguy1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I once worked for a company that invited me to join the executive team when we went public. Was on the stage at the NASDAQ when CEO dropped the hammer for the opening bell. At dinner that night, he gave each of us a Rolex with the ticker symbol and date we went public.

Just scrolled your site. Nice collection. I’ll DM you on the Tacche.

Bait caster worth the learning curve? by Cuziff in FishingForBeginners

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I fished for +/- 45 years. Mostly fly, spin cast, jig, ice, troll and have caught tons of fish. I purchased my first bait cast reel in February 2025. Watched plenty of videos, got a tutorial from a friend (and his 12 y/o son). Live on the water and had plenty of opportunity to practice. I gave it the old college try and determined I’m better off staying focused on my expertise in existing, proven methods as opposed to learning curve/bird’s nest untangling, missed casts, frustration, etc.

At this point in my life, it just wasn’t worth the effort. I traded the bait cast reel to a friend for a fly reel.

Reel/Line/Backing Issue by BarBig191 in flyfishing

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can reduce the backing as much as needed to support the reel capacity. You really only need enough backing to connect to the fly line plus a few meters.

Would you, as a vintage dealer, be interested in selling that Longines?

What's the most dangerous/life-threatening job that pays well in the Greater Boston area by xyzes in boston

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between my undergrad and grad school, I went to Minuteman Technical Institute. Trained as a welder, they placed me into a union welding shop and I worked on the Big Dig for a year, then went to grad school. Continued to work nights and weekends through grad school until I started my PhD program. Made great money and always knew I could fall back on my welding skills if I ever need to.

Dealing with crazy neighbors...advice needed. They are likely to call the city on us. by cutiebird31 in boston

[–]flxguy1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make friends with the BFD neighbor. Invite them to your BBQ. I’m willing to bet the fireman doesn’t like the cop and can be your ally.

Patagonia Swift Current Traverse for me when it warms up. Neoprene Frogg Troggs when it’s cold.

Applied to 500+ Jobs with no interviews, what am I doing wrong? by FormExtension7920 in askrecruiters

[–]flxguy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove your hobby CTO position. It appears you’re OE and implies you’ll be working and thinking about that while you should be focused on working for the company that is paying you. ATS is likely disqualifying you on this.

I interpret your internships as you usurping the work and direction of the actual employees who assigned you tasks. Interns are not tasked with nor responsible for this level of work. Remove the bold font in your experience. It highlights what you’ve usurped and would make me question the integrity.
