Brain hurtz... Must kill IT people...

    I write websites for a living. The kind of stuff that makes about $200 a minute. Without porn.

    Our site had a problem over the weekend. I take one look at it and say, "Its a DNS or firewall issue. It is resolving URL's to an IP so I am going to say firewall or router."

    I then spend the rest of the weekend arguing with our IT staff. Even going back to work twice, once with the head of IT calling me and telling me to drop whatever I was doing to come in.

    You know what happened?

    They took two days. Then finally put in a DNS route and everything started working. Which I told them to do in the first 10 minutes.

    I'm not even in IT. I firmly believe we should fire our entire IT department, outsource it and get the couple guys worth a crap jobs with the outsourcing company.

    :end rant

    have you thought of electroshock therapy for the IT department?

    Seriously, that sucks they were too uppity to consider your suggestion, but doesn't it feel good to have been right? Now is a great time to make a politely worded suggestion for improvement (no, that does not mean to use ________'s in place of all the bad words.)

    The sick thing is, while the DNS change fixed the issue, that wasn't really the problem. Our network admin is at a total loss.

    To add insult to injury, I guess the only reason they tried it was to disprove it and shut me up.

    I am a Microsoft Certified Network Engineer. Or was. I got into web because it was a million times more interesting to me. I've explained this to our IT dept, but I think they don't quite believe me.
