Printer fallout and technical decisions
by Ti Leggett 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Now that printing is halfway working, I wanted to say how necessary it is to include the support staff in technical decisions before hand. The first that anyone in support heard of any print changes was when David saw the print technicians plugging in a new printer. Because we didn't have any chance to vet that the proposed printer would work in our infrastructure ahead of time, we're pretty lucky that everything works with the new printer and only took 2 days to get it done. But that was at significant stress and frustration by everybody since all the CI printers got brought down during this time. So moving forward, please make sure to include us in these technical decisions from the beginning so we can help make sure the right solution is chosen that fits the needs and fits in the CI environment. It will also allow us to prepare ahead of time for these rollouts so things work more smoothly. Thanks.

Keys

There used to be a keychain with an aluminum bar attached to it in the BMR - it had some keys on it. They were on the console table in a cup. If you know of the whereabouts of this, please let me know - those keys are in my name and I need to turn them in. == Craig
