Isn't working in the IT industry wonderful ? Actually taken the first week of the school holidays off to do "Daddy Daycare " duties looking after my 8 year old stepdaughter and sundry assorted hangers on . Makes dealing with pibkac problems ( problem is between keyboard and computer ) seem not such a bad option

Undetectable. Yeah right! Firewall logs win.

Which is why you make sure to bypass the main system firewall (have me own little firewall for such occasions) .Pinholes rule.

What's that water doing on your desk - don't you know fish fuck in that!

Not in MiZone they don't. That's water PLUS. - *SPECIALLY TREATED* it is. 'Tis being exported into China now. There it is marketed under the brand name MiDong. New advertising is "MiDong - Now in new giant size". They see nothing funny in it.

When you need to change the toner cartridge in a printer, call IT Support. Changing a toner cartridge is an extremely complex task, and Hewlett-Packard recommends that it be performed only by a professional engineer with a Master's degree in nuclear physics.

Sorry, I think that task has been delegated out. We've now supposed to ring reception
Oh and also when the printers are out of paper.

And finally, always remember.... we were sitting there waiting for Your call.. The whole day!!!

Roaming desktop phones. You can now be reach anywhere, anytime.

Now all we need to do is block this website on the firewall at SKC to stop TristanK spending half his time on this site when working (Jokes)

Im planning on plugging my workstation straight into the fibreoptic modem (JK cos my boss is on here now ) cos I tried to run quake after work. I should get a 6-8 ping which will be the best in NZ that I have seen unfortuantly the problem is the proxy, either install a quake proxy (quizmo) or bypass it. either task is not something I really want to do.

Have a chat to the network administrator - Its amazing what shit you can talk them into doing :-) or finding out the "holes" in the network (well sometimes)

Welcome to the wonderful world of support. Thank the stars I'm only third level contact. If it gets as far up as me it's probably just a smoking heap of ashes anyway

Yeah, bypass the proxy. Build y'self a linux firewall, using an old PC (scrounge something, arrange for one of the better luser machines to "break down, not economic to repair". Then replace the HDD cable you disconnected - or if more subtlety is needed, put back the MB jumpers you removed). Then plug in a feed direct from the router to your new firewall , then set that firewall as your proxy. Default to ALL traffic blocked in the rules (cos you want to be safe), or just intranet open, then add rules to open what you want. Obviously be sensible, you should know what's safe and what's not. You're God so flex them muscles.

Golden rule of sysadmins. If you're a decent guy, and seem sensible enough not to cause shit to run over, we don't care what you're doing, and will facilitate stuff for you. If you're a PITA, or a wanker, then we just quote company policy and security best practice. Sorry. NOT.

So grease up your company sysadmins, guys, cos they can do all sorts of good shit for you.

Ah, that's why server rooms have very strong, self locking security coded doors.
