What do you do for Davis County?

Justin and I work for a Weber County school district. IT of course :2thumbs:

[BruteForce]

I'm in an IT capacity..

[Mtnman1830]

I don't work in it, but I have to deal with a lot of it. :topes:

[RugerShooter]

Well I do a little IT work at my job but just the basics of it. If I really need anything done I get ahold of Justin.

I could be considered IT. I'm a senior Oracle consultant. I would consider myself more of a middleware provider/installer than anything else though.

And to answer your next question, no I won't fix your computer.

[Alex]

No offense, but DBA is not IT, the way we look at DBA here as getting a PhD without going to high school and learning the ropes. So please step away from this thread. :lol8:

Dammit.
I'm taking notes of who to ask for help when I break something...

Hey now!

Not a DBA, I get that a lot since Oracle's main product is their database package. We have over 200 "other" products though. Just like Ford makes more than just engines. I'm in middleware like I said previously. Here's the press release from when they bought us out and what I do.

http://www.oracle.com/telephonyatwork/index.html


With Telephony@Work CallCenterAnywhere, Oracle will become the first CRM applications provider to unify contact center technology and CRM software delivering a complete "customer to agent" experience. By extending CRM applications with multi-channel capabilities, our business customers will experience higher productivity while enhancing the customer experience. They will also experience a reduction in cost and complexity of integrating disparate CRM, analytics, and communications technologies.

Whether deployed as a hosted or on-premise contact center solution, Telephony@Work and Oracle plan to deliver more cost-effective and flexible contact center solutions regardless of company size, locations or resources. We have experience in delivering an integrated solution as Oracle utilizes Telephony@Work's technology for Siebel Contact On Demand, our hosted contact center solution.

Hey, that actually works out nice!



Edit: seriously though i don't know jack about enumeration for USB. Sorry bro.

Everything you've ever wanted to know can be found here (http://www.sysnucleus.com/usbenum.html) :popcorn:

Just in case you're not kidding, go to this website and download their USB enumeration trace tool:

[skianddive]

This site offers a much better explanation of the multiple handshakes that occur during the enumeration (discovery) process:

I have my associates degree in computer networking. I am a licensed Insurance agent now though. When I graduated the market was so saturated that I could only find jobs doing customer service for $8 an hour. So I decided to go a different route. I wonder how life would be different had I stuck with computers.

Stay where you're at. The IT field (unless you're highly specialized) is a commodity now. It's a parity job and isn't as "cool" as it used to be. (IMHO)

The only fields that differ are:

- DBA or any database (report queries) role (MS/MySQL or Oracle)
- Information Security (waning)
- Application specific (Oracle eBusiness, Dynamics, SharePoint, etc)
- Development (interfaces, sql, php, eCommerce applications)

Yeah, I was serious. Stupid thing. I plugged in a used blackberry (KSL) and ever since my USB ports will work with the Blackberry, my mouse and printer but will not recognize any external drive (iPod, flash drive, multipule external HDs).
I have read some about enumeration, but it's dead boring and hard to get through.
I did use a USB trace software to find out that it is an enumeration problem. I will check out the references listed here after work when I have a bit more time...
I may just format and re-install the OS, would that fix the problem?
Thanks.

A quicker fix would be to access the Device Control Panel, search for any unknown devices that you're trying to use, delete them and reboot. Before plugging them in, install any necessary driver(s) first, then connect USB.

In a worst case scenario, delete all your USB ports from the Device Control Panel and reboot. It will rebuild those devices.

I'm in IT as well.....Storage Area Networks and Mainframe Storage and backup systems.

What do you do for Davis County?

We support all county offices, libraries, heath department, senior citizen centers, and the jail. I do mostly desktop support, wiring jobs- voice/data, rolling out the computer upgrades, making sure no one cuts into our fiber and today making sure no one else plugs in space heaters at polling locations. Occasionally I get to play with some servers but they dont let us touch the routers. I graduated and moved from Montana over a year ago and I think I got pretty lucky to find this job! If I can stay motivated, I hope to hammer out a cert or two this winter between skiing and snowshoeing.

Geeks! :haha:

What o/s are you using ?

How old was this used Blackberry? What model? Do you suspect that its internal software was out-of-date?

Had you installed any Blackberry software on your computer prior to plugging it in? If so, what kind and version?

Yup, it's a snoozer. Low level traces like it are always about as interesting as watching grass grow - or looking in the Political Arena! :haha:

Can you post it here or the section where you noticed the problem?

As BF mentioned, I think a format/reinstall may be overkill, and you should try disabling devices and/or removing them first. I've only had to resort to a forma/reinstall if a system was severely infected.

I do IT Consulting. Basically companies which are too small to have an IT staff on the payroll, outsource it to my company. I'm in Texas on business right now, and I can't find a Bogley equivalent for Texas, so I'm just working extra long to pass the hours :).

[Sombeech]

We support all county offices, libraries, heath department, senior citizen centers, and the jail.

You must know Brandon Holt.

I applied for that job a few years ago and was refused. :haha:

"Refused", eh?

Beech, do you live up in that area? Any interest in pursuing something in central Salt Lake?

[apcronnelly]

I do.

You must have been to bad ass for the position. Seriously, I wish more people I worked with are into the outdoors.

[Sombeech]

You must have been to bad ass for the position.

I walked into the interview and there were 3 people sitting across the table from me. oh hell... :lol8:

I can't remember most of the questions, but one of them was "what would you use 'msconfig' for"? Oh jeez, I've been using that to clean out the startup processes for 10 years, but I froze up. I couldn't think of what the hell it meant. :roflol:

Intimidation, man. :haha:

[apcronnelly]

How long ago did you interview for the position? Mine was last July. Same questions and people probably.

I spent a year as a Sr. Security Engineer (consultant) in 2004-2005 at the Bancorp. (West Valley campus) I did the Patriot system implementation and the laptop encryption project. Performed quite a few IT audits as well.

Reported to the CISO (Preston W).

DOH! Must be the boss, eh? :haha:

Too late, I think. I offered $105k/year plus 6% minimum annual bonus, AMEX Gold card and immediate 401k match and he said yes. I believe he's giving notice by Friday!
