    Leaving a company - need advice

    This is my last week with my current employer, a small-ish company where I'm the sole IT person. I'm loyal to this company and want to make sure they do fine when I'm gone, though I know I can only do so much. I was wondering what tips anyone could give me to leave them in a good position when...

    Easily set up VPNs for home users

    I'm giving our users access to our network from home via VPN. I'm using PPTP on our router and will then let them get on their work computers via Remote Desktop. What I'm wondering is, what's the best way to get their VPN connection set up on their home computer? These users are not very...

    Add a server?

    We currently have one Win2k Server to handle AD, DNS, DHCP, file serving, and a few internal web pages. It has hot-swappable RAID drives but no other redundancy and the manufacturer's support has just expired. I'm concerned about something happening to this server, causing significant...

    Java hangs/cpu usage spikes

    I've seen this problem on several XP Pro machines w/ both SP1 and SP2 and various versions of the JRE. The CPU spikes recur regularly every few seconds and from some previous checking appear to be caused by netlogon. These aren't ever a problem but cause most java apps to hang every few...

    Getting into software/web development

    I'm currently an IT Admin but part of what I do is create applications for our intranet (using Perl and HTML::Mason). I really love this part of my job and have been looking for a position doing this sort of work. Unfortunately everything I've come across so far requires experience, especially...

    Career advice

    I'm not sure if anyone can help on this, but perhaps someone can bring to light factors I haven't considered. I'm an IT admin with a small company, which has been great for me but I feel it's time to move on. I'm the only IT person and I feel it's a bit of a dead-end job as there's no path for...

    Suggestions and 'bug fixes'

    Please look at my site and let me know your opinions. My speciality is in cgi programming and not site design so any criticism is welcome. (oh, and I know the contact page doesn't work, I'm waiting on the host to install a Perl module). I'd also appreciate some help with fixing a few 'bugs'...

    Empty Deleted Items Periodically

    I know you can empty deleted items when you exit Outlook and you can also Autoarchive items periodically. But want I want is a way to empty the deleted items folder periodically, say every 90 days. Is there a setting somewhere for this, a macro to do this, or perhaps another way?

    Setting up Mason via cpanel

    Not sure if this is the best place for this topic, I'll try the Perl forum if I need to..... I'm working on a web host that uses cpanel and seems to have mod_perl installed. I got them to install HTML::Mason but can't figure out how to get it working. The only thing cpanel allows me to do is...

    Stolen image

    I was browsing my local governments web site recently when I noticed the banner graphic at the top of the page looked familiar. I quickly changed the background on my computer's desktop to the 'Bliss' background that ships with Windows XP. Comparing the banner and background it was very...

    PDF::API2 and HTML::MASON

    For some reason, PDF::API2 generates this warning: That's not a problem normally, but Mason gives an error when compiling my component because of this: So I'd either like to find a way to fix PDF::API2 or keep Mason from dying when it gets a warning. But if I have to I'll continue using...

    SP2 - Pop-up settings via GPO

    Ok, this is kinda weird. I just got back from a week's vacation and before I left, I set up a GPO to enable the new pop-up blocker. I also had found a place where I could list web sites that I wanted to allow pop-ups on. Now however, I can't find where I designated which sites should be...

    SP2 installed, then ... BSOD

    I apologize if this has already been brought up, but the search in TT is temporarily offline and I didn't see this posted in the last few days. I've been working on a coworker's computer off an on for a while now. They are constantly getting viruses and spyware despite using spybot and norton...

    Copying table rows in IE 6

    This works in Mozilla/Firebird but not IE 6... I suspect the problem is with appendChild. var tbody = document.getElementById('sometable'); var tRows = tbody.rows; var newRow = tRows[0].cloneNode(true); tbody.appendChild(newRow); Any idea how to get it working in IE 6?

    Generating images for multiple users

    I have as script that generates an image based on user input and also generates the html to display that image (using an img tag). The problem is, the script always saves the image with the same filename. So if two users generate an image at approximately the same time, one could end up...

    Technical Phone Interview

    I'll be having a phone interview in a few days for a programming position I applied for. I was told by the person I set up the interview time with (not the person I'm interviewing with) that it would be about an hour long and would be "technical", involving algorithms, etc. It sounds to me...

    XP Home activation annoyance

    I have someone's computer I've been working on who was plagued with viruses and spyware. After cleaning all those nasties off, there were several problems, such as notepad.exe missing. I decided I'd just do a repair install, so I started to do that. But somewhere during the install I received...

    Returning to previous employer

    Any tips on getting hired for a company you've worked for before? I left this company in good standing after being employed with them for a year. Now they have several openings I'm interested in. I left because of the pay and type of work in the department I was in but these new positions are...

    "Fit to" problems in Excel 2002

    I have a user who prints several spreadsheets and uses the "fit to" feature in the page setup to print them to 1 page wide by 4 pages long. She can do this once successfully, but the next time she tries it messes up. It'll make the document several hundred pages long and gives errors of...

    Preparing to leave

    I'm the IT Administrator and sole IT person in our small company and have done quite a bit in the year I've been here to get things in order. However, I don't plan on being here much longer as there's really no room to grow. I've learned quite a bit while being here but I feel like I'm about...
