Miss me?

Hey blog, so it turns out I got the job, and I’ve been plodding away at it, hence the me being absent part. I’m not sure how much I can tell you about the job, but basically it’s at a Bank, and looking after the bank computer systems and servers. FUN ON THE BUN

IBM AIX 5.3, Prepare to be my bitch

I’m having fun adapting to the system here, at it’s core theres an IBM AIX 5.3 box that does most of the hard stuff, but then there is this horrible windows monster network attached to it, along with a dedicated machine for MS-SQL and a few other machines for fileservers and Exchange, the system is clunky and at best in-efficient. The off-shore support for the software we use is ridiculous (it took an entire week for them to login and make me a new sysop user) I’m sorry but that’s just sad, and totally unacceptable in any industry let alone the BANKING industry, the sad part is that there is really no other choice but to use them or develop your own software, and the bank I am at is not big enough to handle that kind of project on its own… so there we are between a rock and a hard place.
