That IT Helpless feeling

Nothing makes you feel completely alone, frustrated or ready to kill than doing something on your computer and the thing goes to the manure pyle. So you do a hard shutdown then reboot 8 times, then a sys restore, and eventually if your lucky and blessed the little critter that gummed your puter up is put to rest for awhile. So you think your off Scott free. While in the back of your mind you realize that in fact the little critter is just sitting there creeping back up, and ready to throw you into a state of ultimate rage.

So you unplug the modem, call the tech support at Cable-One, if your with SpeedConnect its during the day, (when I’m usually asleep) but its not them after all ITS YOUR COMPUTER that’s fuggled up. This is why beyond the sweet perfumed honeys and all two spots are now open on the media werx staff here at Confederate Steele Media. An IT guy and an on broadcast and an on call, broadcast engineer. Who can fix these things when they occur and prevent them from happening in the first place.

Forget calling Geek Squad, MicroChips or some run of the mill GP IT tech. They will not know the bits and pieces that make up a system that does broadcasting, especially streaming like ours does. I used to think buying a Dell, was the way to computer bliss, but seems that is not the case. I remember the noise I heard from a radio tech years ago, that Dell’s were the easiest to mess up. So what do you do? Like I did, download as much free software to combat getting these mid eastern produced and China delivered worms, Trojans(I thought a Trojan was a rubber) and all, but the same techs that I’m battling are the ones that find ways around civilian based anti-virus programs. I’d much rather have someone on call and on staff, who can jump in and get our system going again when it shyts, than rely on the few comp tech repair services here.

Okay onto some quick club business.

At the Wednesday officers luncheon, the ayre crew , along with the Knytes, have decided to scrub the shop. It’s heartbreaking to say the least, but economics require it. Give it time, let the radio station build some cash in the stash then we’ll reapproach the idea of a MC shop. The hangar we leased can in real emergencies be used to do tow truck fixes, on short term basis’ , let that also start building into a money making altitude, and again these other things will iron themselves out.

Over the next few months intense radio op’s will be the focus, followed by the AyreShack, then by the end of next year, this time. I can evaluate if I need to be here another year , or if we have someone who can step in as a resident operations manager, so I can depart, with the very thing I moved here to do in 2006.

With any luck this will get posted, and if I’m not online for a few days or weeks, know its because its due to having the computer being repaired.
