I am wondering why is that? Why any job in the IT profession, and especially in Hardware support, is looked down? Why is been considered easy and meaningless? Why is when something goes wrong it's the IT's personnel fault and never the user's? Why? Oh and try fixing a friends computer, spending hours on the task and then ask a favour afterwards in their line of work. Example? Plumbing. I wonder! What do you think?
You are right meowy. I don't recall having problems with the older operating system that much, except correct memory handling. That was a bit dodgy. The CD-Roms now, yeah about that price. Goodmorphing, i understand what you mean. But there is another question there. In a working enviroment, what is the human based benchmark to use as a rule? The slowest worker or the fastest? A slowest may 'demand' to have something that will make him/her faster,
That remindes me of my Project Managment and Quality Assurance courses. It is true you need to get in depth analysis some times to do your job, but unfortunatelly 'un-proffesional' approach from higher up quiclky eleminates any efford. Also if you are by yourself and you can't get support from users and/or managment then there is no need to try to improve. Except if you love what you do. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gif" border=
You have a point there goodmorphing. In a buisness level people are perciving time differently depending the stress there are under. As IT support we never been tought to take in considerention the physiological aspect of things. I agree that it does play role on the demand for new and faster hardware. Some times faster computers are the mana from heaven, or that's what users think. But unfortunatelly Managment can't take this into account. It doesn't
Thanks for the tip Lantec. Can i use it also? And by the way, i wish i had my old 386. I would love to take all the memory chips out! Just for the fun of it. (A voice on the background: CRUELTY TO COMPUTERS!!! ARGGG!!). What who me? Nooooo!!
Thank you guys for your postings. I agree 100%. In personal level i can't afford the new staff until the prices are down AND are been tested. At work level, well it has to do with Managment expenses and user needs. I still keep some of the computer i manage to 450's or 350's at work and that's because they are printer servers. Anyways, i think that if a computer (even a 1 Ghz, or 850 Mhz) does the job keep it as long as it can. If the video car
Here we are again once more. One simple question. When you want to build that amazing new computer, do you go out and buy all the new high tech gadgets that just hit the market, or you wait couple months to see how things are? I personnaly to all the machines I made, i always wait for some solid reviews. Occasionaly though (and that's rarely)i need to buy that new zip-boom add on card that it might solve some of the upgrade needs. So let me hear you op
Point taken. Back to work for old ChaosMachine. Yes sir, i am hard at work. Yes? The server? It will be up and running at no time! (sound of paper rafling and keyboard clicks!)
So far we have heard more from the Administrator's point of view. How about users? They surely have something to say. Come on people.!!
Bichur, how did you know I was lazying around? Do you have a web-cam or what!! I fixed all the problems for today. Tommorow, well it is another day.
I agree with Angel. Some times top Managment do not see 'minor' things like maintaining a health company culture as proper procedures goes. It is money after all right? I can teach them, but that means they have to stop working for one, two or whatever hours. And that can be measured in something real, like money. So its out of the question. The pressure on the administrators to bring the system up again it can't or doesn't be calculated. I know you ca
I know Bichur. But does it worth damaging your health for someone else? And if it is, how much do we have to be paid?
So true, so true Jafo and bichur. Jafo I wish i could, Bichur so far I haven't made anyone cry (Although i do want to blast them!) . Like i said there is a intranet page. How difficult it is
Personnaly i agry with tjesterb. I have heard so many "I didn't do it i'm telling you. Honest!". Now another question. What do you do when users are not 'get it' the first time? What a respectful administrator do after the MILLIONTH time he/she has been asked the same question. What is a reasenable punishment?
Ok thank you guys for your input. So far we are in a in equal terms. One for the administrator, one for the users and one in the middle. Now how about this. I have even made an intranet page discribing the most frequent errors and their solutions. I send emails linking to that intranet page. And still the same questions comes up! Shall i turn to Conan the Barbarian from my rage or just played cool? Hmm? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/W
Ok here is a thread not related to skinning. I'll get right to it. I'm managing a fair number of computers and peripherals at my work. I’m trying to do a good job and be on top of the job but I have really big problems when users do not follow simple instructions, and when things go wrong, the administrator is to blame. The ISP is off line for a day, my fault. Someone pulled out the cable from the network Pinter? My fault! Etc. Soooooo what do you
Hello everybody. I am getting today the following message when i try to upload: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. It has to do something with the .NET correct? Just letting you know. I'll give a try to upload again later. Keep up the good work.
Well i am yet another person that has a similar question. I tryed to upload a bootskin 3 times and after waiting for weeks nothing was posted. And the skin wasn't offensive or anything. How can I see if it was rejected since no email is send out? Any help?
Hello everybody. I am having a problem that puzzles me. I created a BootSkin, the address is Link , but although it is a 4bit 16 colour image, when i use it for my boot up screen, everything turns green. The preview mind you is showing everything OK. Another BootSkin that i made with the same colour depth same method is working fine. I can't understand what seems
