So does he sit in the dark dank basement corner of the office building? Steal his swingline stapler and see what happens :)

My new office has prime realistate at the front of the office, near the kitchen / coffee machine / fridge, with ready access to the receptionist/secretary.

That's why they hire so many indian monkeys in IT for meager salaries. You see them pulling into parking lots full of porche's lexus's and beamers in a toyota tercel that's 20 years old. And they keep a multi-million/billion dollar company afloat. Boggles my mind...

He's an IT guy because the REAL IT guy quit and we are in a "cash flow situation" :trout:

Yeah if you don't give an iT guy the cash to make his life easy and force him to put ducktape on everything all the time, then scream at him when things don't work right, he's going to quit.

Integrating our Order Processing system with the FedEx software. It was a nightmare! He's still working out some "bugs" :frustrate:

someone who is a server admin is not necessarily a programmer, so its like using a hammer to put in a screw sometimes... but non tech management often are too dense to tell the difference

Oh lol... I would've punted to a dev. I CAN do that sort of stuff, it's just better left to absolutely have to, and it has to be done right now and the dev is too busy to do it etc...

I handle installation scripting and test/QA harness setups but I have a lot of experience in those areas.

Yeah, asking your server admin to hack together something like that is like asking McGuyver to build you an airplane. It might fly, and it might get you there in mostly one piece, but it's going to be scary as hell, and might just crash and burn halfway there.

So any tips for cool crap to do in Oahu?

Ah man, if you want to cheat go to Leonard's Bakery and get some Malasadas.

Ah man, my mouf is watering. I believe Leonards is of of King Street.

Otherwise, don't do your shopping at Ala Mona or Waikiki. They rip you off, because that is were all the haole's shop.

The Polynesian Culture center is nice.

I dig Sandies for some nice body surfing, but the shore break is brutal.

Are you talking about something like Barsa Code that intergates MAS 90 to the FedEX shiping software?
Click to expand...

No clue...we use an application called Stone Edge to process orders. We needed the FedEx software to be able to import the data to create shipping labels by the batch.

Anybody know how to create Java Sockets?
Click to expand...

Sockets in java is actually pretty complicated because you have to interface with system calls to do some things. My recommendation is to find some java app/library that already has it done with a bsd license or something.

Another good reason to use .net ;)

I helped out with some of the intergration. But the software my office uses is MAS 90 and they need a 3rd party (Barsa Code) to intergrate with FedEX shipping Manager.

Either Stone Edge has built in capabilities or they need a middle-ware.

What issues was he having?

Hey who said sockets were a 'good thing' :)

I tend to use JMS for everything I can because it already handles the error conditions and latency / packet loss / retransmission and all the other nonsense that you have to do on network connections. Not the least of which is you can make systems talk to each other pretty darned easily if they all speak JMS.
