Slashdot

Came in this morning and went ahead with regular duties. Nothing spectacular going on so I went into the bosses office to talk about some reports I'll be developing in the near future. Our full time sysadmin comes in and tells us we have a problem. Two drives failed on the production database server, 3 minutes apart, on separate buses. One on the data partition, one on the system partition. The HP management tools never picked up on it, and in fact still report that everything is just peachy.

We go back to the server room to swap drives out when we hear an odd noise, look back and another drive has failed on the application development test server.

Ruh-roh.

Full time position with focus on VB.Net, ASP.Net, SQL Server.

Totally unofficial salary range estimate:
Mid thirties to low forties.

This is a good opportunity for someone fresh out of school to get some experience and learn a lot quickly. The ideal candidate would have some experience with ASP.Net, SQL Server, and some form of reporting tool (Crystal et al).

Excellent benefits, training, and all that good stuff.

Know anyone? Email the address in my profile for more info.

Is still how I remember how to order the CSS pseudo classes for links, I doubt the order is still an issue, but back in Ye Olde Dayse, they had to be declared in order:
a:link
a:visited
a:hover
a:active

LVHA

LoVe? HA!

As a followup to This.

Our sysadmin goes under the knife today, so I get to put on a new shiny hat and pretend I know what I'm doing with servers and networks. First order of the day, figure out why the Exchange backup failed.

Second order of the day, impose fear, terror, war, pestilence, disease and death upon the users.

I am become sysadmin, destroyer of Outlook appointments.

Planning to buy a new desktop at work, with multiple Visual Studios and long running SQL queries, my current machine is slowing down quite a bit. I was hoping the Quad Core CPUs would be a bit cheaper, but $1200 for a QX6700 is a bit steep.

Here's what I'm looking at atm:

HP xw4400 Workstation Microsoft® Windows®
Genuine Windows® XP Professional SP2
HP xw4400 Localization kit
Intel® Core(TM) 2 Duo E6700 2.67 GHz, 4 MB, 1066 MHz FSB
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 128MB PCIe
HP 4GB (4x1GB) DDR2-667 ECC RAM
HP 160GB SATA 3Gb/s NCQ 7200 1st HDD
HP 16X DVD+/-RW DL LightScribe 1st Drive
HP 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive

+ A second hard drive. HP is way overpriced on those though.
