  • server memory
    C CARPETBURNER

    Seriously, you've got 4000 subdomains on a win2003 box with 8gb and have suffered with serious memory problems? I mean..... seriously? :-D Try halving that amount of subdomains. Or even reducing that to something reasonable say below 100, before trying again.. Then take a step back, and decide whether or not you know what your doing.

  • Bad Programmina analogy
    C CARPETBURNER

    Now im not one for second guessing Xerox wanting to change the fundamental laws of the universe.. but.. The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change." - FORTRAN manual for Xerox computers ?????

  • How do these articles get through the net?
    C CARPETBURNER

    I have yes.. but an article usually contains a bit more text around it rather than two code snippets.. for a long time I have felt that this site requires a "Code Snippet" section or category, where these things could be put. Something that is valid but not quite enough to warrant being a full article.

  • "Too Good" at my current Role
    C CARPETBURNER

    I want a fresh challenge, I want the responsibilities that come with a management role, the thrill of building moulding and working with a team to achieve a goal. These days I feel i am reduced to being a code monkey sitting here typing code all day with the odd project to manage when there is one. I dont care what the job title is (it could be Chief Tea Architect) as long as it gives me the challenge and goals i need to fufill my ambitions.

  • "Too Good" at my current Role
    C CARPETBURNER

    Here I am in my job of 6 years, just been overlooked after applying for promotion because I am "Too good" at my current role (Managements words not mine). Has anyone ever had this in their job? Its frustrating for me as I have been here for 6yrs now and was assured the potential of career progression when I joined, I have about 10yrs experience in the field of Software Development, including Project Management And Team Leading and I feel now is the time to set myself a fresh challenge in a more managerial position. I am starting to wonder if its the company as people around me in other departments are getting management roles and then a few months later getting kicked out of those roles because they are useless.. The buzz word going round here is you are "moved into management if you are useless at your current job" The question is in these recession times do I stay? or do I go?
