Topic: What are you up to at work?

This is probably my last deployment of Apple Xserves, as they are now discontinued. I thought I'd post a picture of this ok looking stack wink This is an Xsan install for the post production facility I manage. In the meantime I am also deploying a transcoding cluster on Linux boxes, and Windows (!) boxes... picture will come.

i'm a business controller, which means i sit on top of the money and try to stop IT managers from getting their grubby hands on it without a proper business reason.

Re: What are you up to at work?

jacderida> we use mercurial for version control! its not so much mercurial which is quite good at handling merges but more the way we do stuff here with plenty of paralell development going on..

finally it built without errors..   tongue

Re: What are you up to at work?

ahh ok, yeah, i thought those distributed version control systems were supposed to be great for branching and merging - we're still stuck on subversion in here... roll

Re: What are you up to at work?

i am proof reading jap/eng translations ... in between tagging mp3s for IFM, of course

they require the same blank automatic level of concentration.  neutral

cuties don't exert

Re: What are you up to at work?

@ tek: loving the cats wink
@ inkinen/jacderida: i can never stop being jealous of programmers. I enjoy a little bash scripting and writing small cocoa applets with a friend/colleague of mine every now and then and wish I could do that for a living...guess I studied the wrong sheez.
@ heifetz: I'm not a pure IT manager, more Audio/Video/Broadcast background, but I feel in the same position of some when trying to get new kit... I say release the money to the poor IT managers, what's a business case anyway? wink

Re: What are you up to at work?

@ ytz: are you responsible for the Roland TB-303 manual translation at all? big_smile  big_smile  big_smile My wife is Japanese so for the last few years I have been slowly delving into the delights of hiragana and katakana...what a headcfuck!

a business case is when i get a nice watch in return wink

Re: What are you up to at work?

jacderida> merges are handled just fine.. and when mercurial cannot do it its back to either kdiff3 or meld for doing it the manual way. lots of other problems though!
i never worked with subversion. what would you prefer instead?

cimabot> whats to be jealous about?  tongue
its never to late to learn though..

Re: What are you up to at work?

Nice to see many fellow IT workers  smile

I'm currently a bit in the middle tho, with coordinating acceptance testing the implementation of a risk management application for a large dutch bank. Commercial product, although you wouldn't say with the amount of bugs we found in it... that already delayed the project by 4 months now.

Re: What are you up to at work?

wow, what a coincidence - the product that we're about to release is a risk management application! smile
