It's fun, but sometimes it can be boring. I learned allot about networking etc. and more stuff, but i can't put my genius mind at full because they wont let me. Next week were gonna repatch the patch pannels and reinstall new servers what we have now is pure junk. a 468 as a cetrix server:wtf:thats just stupid and the cases are open, it's crap.

Depends on what OS it's running...

[beatspete]

Currently im at school, but after next year im going to university to probably do Aeronautical engineering, and then hopefully i can have a nice dark reaserch lab underground to design the future of paper planes.  Projects like the X-43 SCRAM jet intrest me.

Win95NT:wtf: it sucks as a server and since 90% of the people on the office/home login on it. SO it SUCKS !!:D

I am happy we get a new server for that in a few days. and on monday ( a holliday, Pinksteren ) we gonna set that **** up and lets hope it doesn work corectly:D.

And we use 100mbp/s utp cables but use screwed up 10mbp/s switches and hubs. Ain't it stupid?

I think you mean WindowsNT or Windows2k. There's not Win95NT. As for the cable/switch thing, you're likely runing Cat5 (which is rated for 100mb) because no one bothers buying Cat3 anymore (10mb). Of course, if all your machines are running 10/100mb NICs, it would be stupid to be running 10mb switches--and its always stupid to run hubs with more than two ports (bridges).

Congrats on the job, though. I'm starting a job search myself.

Still in School but also a journalist. And the fun part is that if I say "we're gonna die!!!" then people really belive it. I'M EVIL!!

Yeah sory i ment WindowsNT, yup where using Cat5 and all our machines are running 10/100mb NICs, so it is indeed stupid, we need to image 276 Thoshiba Tecra 9000 laptops, and whit more then 2 laptops conected to the image server ( conected trough 5 switches:wtf: it doesn't make sence we need a direct line trough the server ) it runs like **** trough a funnel. They use 20 ports hubs. stupid stupid.

Hubs are a very bad idea for multicast imaging of servers. When I worked at a university, we would image the labs on a regular basis. It would take all weekend to image a 30 machine lab. When we setup a new lab, we dropped a nice 10/100 switch in there and *BAM* the imaging was done in something like two hours for an 8gig image. Needless to say, we went on a buying rampage and replaced all the hubs in the network with switches (turns out there were many squirreled away in places the network wasn't supposed to go!).

Yup, whit 2 machines we need to image per machine it takes 2 hours to image ( max 1gb image ) a damn laptop. I also sugetsed in a meeting to start replacing all the hubs. And if they don't want to do that we need atleast a seperate line to the image server.
But those ****tard of a financial manager doesn't want to invest in  new stuff. a company needs to put 5% of it's income into the modinisation. but thats 2% now. The server room is messed up you can't see what wire leads to. And those new flat servers are standing on the ground on apiece of cardboard and the old junk in the server cases. I am i stupid or is this very unprofesional?

[mikhael]

In my experience, Darkage, that IS professional. Most every shop i've ever worked in has had that sort of of stuff.

[Vortex]

My job is to continuously complete assignments and projects before ridiculously early deadlines in order to appease my sadistic superiors, yeh I'm in high school... :D:D

I would have expected more from a company that places/repairs etc elevators and escalators world wide. atleast that they put the servers on the cardboard into the server case. But sill i seen worse.

[CP5670]

The company works with elevators and escalators? Ah, they must be into machine design and physics then!

I am unemployed so far and am currently not in school anymore, so my job consists of working on my FS2 campaign and doing math stuff all day. I am thinking of applying for an internship position at the nearby NIST complex in the summer. (where I can get paid to do math )

[TheCelestialOne]

I still got the best job : [glow=green]» SOFTWARE TESTING (Including games!) « [/glow]
