Out of interest, is there a way to find out what posts your reputation points come from?
I know, I know, ego/obsession/etc... Just intrigued

RE: My First Home Network
Well, in 1998 I started primary school (elementary in US).
Does that count? -
RE: If you are new drop in say hello and introduce yourself please!
@technobabble No, backing as in I play as well as (more than in fact) sing.
Piano/guitar/drums/banjo (the last one is a bit of a joke, I never got terribly far with that one and have certainly never sang with it :)) -
RE: If you could live anywhere....
@tfl, So where's there?
My answer depends on how much I really let go of reality.
Buenos Aires
Los Angeles
Sth Island NZ -
RE: If you could live anywhere....
@scottalanmiller I would definitely recommend NZ.
I'm never sure why Kiwis move to Aus... they have the most beautiful country in the world, I think. -

Aliens. That explains the other guy too... he was trying to warn you.

RE: I'm the Youngest Wherever I Go
@ajstringham I know how you feel. I'm 21, turning 22 in December. I've been here for almost 4 years now, and I'm still the youngest... however, I'm no longer the junior as far as responsibilities go
That said, I have a side-kick starting in December who will be just out of school, and I will no longer be the youngest person in the company. Yay!It's not just 'in my company' either - I went to a seminar for ERP software last week, I was a good 20 years younger than everyone else there. I just made sure to speak up, nod my head and show I knew what I was on about

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
Trying to stay awake.
Night before last I got about 4 hours sleep. We had visitors in, and then after they left my mum wanted help listing something on ebay. At about ten minutes to midnight, I remembered that I have to be at work before 6am for a training webinar (which means leaving at 5:30am). Scurried to bed as fast as possible, about half an hour later my mum came in to open my door for the heater to work/check on me (old habit from when we were little). She hovered by my bed for what seemed like ages, (I was pretending I was asleep, like I wished I was). Finally I said, what's the matter? And she says, oh, there's a red light flashing on your phone. I groaned... a red light meant I hadn't pulled the blind down... which meant I hadn't even set an alarm.
So after shining a bright phone light in my eyes for several seconds, I gave up pretending, went downstairs and tried some portotherapy. Woke up semi chirpy a very few short hours later... -
RE: Training someone to troubleshoot
@Carnival Boy and all, Sorry to take so long to reply (forgot I posted this and didn't check in!)
I think you've hit the nail on the head though. And yeah, she is more the call IT and hit the coffee machine type
Thanks all for your input, helped me to clear my head on this one. -
RE: Training someone to troubleshoot
@Bill-Kindle , thanks, that's interesting - although I don't need her to get right into networking or anything - I'm more meaning the lower end of tech help from "I don't know how to install this new signature" to "my accounting software won't find the company file (that's because you're looking on the desktop)" to "can you help me find this email from 2012" to "my internet won't work" etc.
And I guess a basic knowledge of how our Exchange/VM/Server interact.

Training someone to troubleshoot
Ok, so as a few of you probably know, I'm not actually an IT Pro, I'm a marketer with an interest in IT and I look after IT here in our small business. (hence I basically don't post here aside from the Water Closet)
The situation is that in a few months, I am hoping to move on from here and so will be most likely handing the IT role over to one of my coworkers who seems fairly keen to take it on. Her IT knowledge is quite minimal though and her approach is kind of to- hear of issue
- call our tech company which we pay (a fair bit) per hour.
Not that much different, except I would trouble shoot and knock out 75% of the issues a lot faster and without additional charges to the company.
Now my theory is that if I could give her a couple guides on trouble shooting simple problems, I could walk her through those, and try to show her how to google the rest, and then contact the tech company if she doesn't get anywhere. Any ideas on what sort of things I should put down in a troubleshooting guide? Or am I coming at it completely wrong?

RE: How long to nap revealed!
@scottalanmiller ha, we always thought you didn't sleep.
Do you have a sleep apnoea machine? Works wonders... -

RE: Schedule task to show up as calendar appointment
Is this in Outlook?
A task is a separate item from a calendar appointment, however you can add a reminder to a task (but that still won't show as scheduled time on the calendar).
