I wear many hats at my workplace.

Primarily a Database Developer, but also programmer, web designer, DBA, sysadmin, and general office bitch.

I work for a small custom software house in Sydney, Australia. We use all manner of tools - but mainly MSSQL and a Rapid Application Tool called eDeveloper uniPaaS Magic XPA.

Seagate have their SeaTools. It used to be a DOS-based utility but I see now they have Windows versions of their Enterprise editions: seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools

comment Using Addresses Like Localhost on a Local Network
Worth mentioning that a CNAME record is only good if you already have an A record for the machine. If no A record exists you will need to create that first. Might not be a bad idea to research DNS, it's a very in-depth protocol once you get using it...

Yep. One from Intel themselves: downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=861 or a pretty good 3rd party one: cpuid.com/cpuz.php

comment can't ssh server from another country
If the IP is being blocked by the country you are in, then you wouldn't see anything at all, it would be as if the connection doesn't exist. Which is why a proxy to a 'safe' server outside the country is most likely the only option. Can you run a really long network cable into Croatia? (just kidding)

comment Converting big table from MyISAM to Innodb
With 300M rows, MyISAM is probably a faster and better fit for a table of that size anyway!

Is there anyone you can call to configure anything on the remote server? I'm guessing no? If you can get some 'remote hands' then there may be some solutions.

comment windows xp home edition - blocking users from changing display settings
Indeed. I'm fairly sure that using XP Home in a call center would be against the licensing policy as well, given that it's meant to only allow a restricted number of XP Home machine's on a network

comment Buying out service provider
Iiinteresting. I hadn't thought of it like that - by removing the value of our custom, that greatly devalues his company. I guess that's what our business managers are for!

Haha, well spoken. It doesn't run well with him, so it's not likely to run well without him either... Good point

comment Buying out service provider
Things like, he doesn't tell us when there's scheduled downtime, he takes 7 days to respond to emails, he's uncontactable by phone and email for days on end. The 9 hour downtime yesterday was because of an upstream issue, but because he was not avaliable, we could not get him to investigate and lodge a ticket. Once we got onto him it was fixed in 15 minutes.
