Quitting My Gas Station Job. Need Advice Duplicate

Normally when you leave a job, you give some notice - often two weeks or so. That allows your bosses to figure out what to do schedule-wise and gives them time to adjust schedules and/or hire a replacement.If you're planning to quit without giving notice, be aware that will make it unlikely your bosses give you a positive recommendation in the future. As a high school student, a poor (or missing) recommendation may make it difficult to get future employment, particularly summer employment while you are in school.If you are planning to give notice, you can do so over the phone. I would do so immediately. If you are not planning to give notice, I would highly recommend doing so in person; that way, you can explain why you are unable to give notice (for example, if school is causing too much difficulty), and give them a chance to give you a way out that doesn't hurt your recommendation and future job prospects.

I wish to retire one exchange 2003 server and move everything to a new server which is already up

I really hope your Exchange server isn't directly exposed on a public IP address; only in that (unlikely) case you should have to change your public MX record.In a more standard scenario, your Exchange server would have a private IP address on your network, and your firewall would forward TCP port 25 of one of your public IP addresses to it; if this is the case, then you would only need to change the forwarding rule on your firewall: no MX change would be required, because your mail server's public IP address would not change. The same basic principle applies if you're using some sort of mail relay/filtering between your Exchange server and the Internet: only the relaying host would then need to be reconfigured to deliver incoming mail to the new Exchange server.

Mail flow aside, you'll also need to take care of a whole lot of other things if you plan to replace your only Exchange server with a new one; have a look at this guide from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931

Was sneakernet a job description?

In the company I worked for, there certainly weren't people "running around" with tapes etc. The "tape library" was a whole department, and the physical storage occupied almost a complete floor of the computer building. The size of the library was well over 10,000 tape reels - not all "active" or regularly used, but much of it was data from engineering tests, some of it dating back several decades.

If you wanted to run a "tape job" that wasn't part of the regular schedule, you filled in the paperwork specifying exactly which reel numbers you needed - and if you got that wrong, the operators didn't "run around" to fix the problem, your job was simply aborted. If you screwed up the paperwork more than once, your manager would get an earful of abuse from the tape library management, for wasting everyone's time!The tape librarians were not just there to do the "fetching and carrying" - they also had the responsibility for making backup copies, "refreshing" old archival data by periodically copying it onto new tapes, etc

Can I invert other companies' logos and use them for advertising them on my site?

I take it that you intend using the logos of the various companies to show that you do business with them? That would be "nominative use" and would be legal even without permission, but it would be better practice to ask for permission. You would need to make it clear that these companies do not endorse or recommend you (unless they do and say so in writing). If you get permission, ask about any color variations they are OK with. Would it be possible to put a black or dark color undercard below any logos that are white on transparent? this would make them visible and be a minimal change to the standard form of the logo. Again, the key thing is to make it clear that you are not claiming to be any of those companies, nor to be endorsed by them.And yes, a short consultation with a lawyer knowledgeable in trademark law would be a very good idea, and might not be very expensive.

How Reverse DNS does what it does

Does rDNS pull the IP address from the Received: portion of the headerDepends on exactly what you are looking at. A mail server, or some anti-spam system. Most often the IP address used has nothing to do with anything in the message headers or body, and instead is the source address of the mail server/client that has connected and is attempting to deliver the message. I want to be able to send email using an email service and have the From and Sender indicating otherwise. Will this affect the delivery of my emails?Possibly, but not often. What matters more is your SPF record. If you have a SPF record, you must explicitly permit the all systems that will be sending messages for a given domain.

The reverse DNS address of the sending MTA doesn't usually have to match the envelop from address. AFAIK, there are very few SPAM systems that take this into account, and none that would block the messages solely because of something like this

How do I stop Archos Video Player treating some television shows as movies?

After further digging, it turns out that if the video file has the nam atom populated, Archos Video Player will consider the file to be a movie and use that value to search TMDb.In the example I provided, the video file had the value A Surprise which was the name of the episode. Since the app incorrectly treated it as a movie, it performed a search for A Surprise on TMDb and the first result was Dreamship Surprise - Period 1.To add further confusion, if there are no results from TMDb then Archos Video Player resorts to (correctly) treating it as a TV show. As a result, it can look quite random as to whether or not a video file is considered a TV show or not!Should you need to force Archos Video Player to treat certain video files as a TV show, then you need to remove this value.To do this:Once you've done this, the video file will now be correctly treated as a

TV show.

Why is Message Labs sending mail in plaintext?

TLS is initiated by the sending server. MessageLabs (or Symantec.cloud as they are now known) provide email scanning services for anti-virus, spam, etc and support TLS at two levels: - Opportunistic i.e. if the original mail server initiates a TLS session with the MessageLabs infrastructure it will scan the email and then attempt delivery over TLS. - Enforced - the enforcement is usually configured at the domain level and the message must be received and delivered over TLS.I suspect in the instance you are showing the original email was not received over TLS so the delivery was completed using SMTP.I'm not sure about the reference to DNS but MessageLabs has a global infrastructure with data centres in the EU, US and APJ which includes DNS servers. Customers are generally configured on their local infrastructure i.e. EU customers are configured on EU infrastructure, US customers on US infrastructure, etc. Multinational customers maybe configured on both EU and US infrastructure.Hope this helps.

Cartthrob - Presales questions

This sounds pretty good that their POS (is it just a POS? Not an ERP too?) has a rest API. That means that in the grand scheme of things it should be a nice job to push and pull data.There are a few ways to do things, but essentially, Cartthrob has hooks for most major events through the order process. You can simply fire off data to their API to inform them of orders/inventory etc and they can do something similar by posting info on inventory updates to EE which can be consumed easily enough.There will be questions about inventory updates that could clash (someone has item in cart, you update inventory from the POS, item no longer exists online etc) but all in all, a very doable project with CT.Best format would be json one assumes if you will be using web services to throw data around. I guess you could use a CSV, but, not sure you would want to.John

Postfix - Send only rejected mail through smarthost

I think it might work as you desire if you run two parallel instances of postfix on the same machine, with the 'deferred' queue directory of the instance sending normally linked (I think symlink would be fine) to the 'incoming' directory of a 2nd instance configured to route to the smarthost. Instance 1 should try to deliver; if it fails, it will write it out to the deferred queue, which instance 2's qmgr will treat as new mail and route to the smarthost.(You might need to do some tuning on instance 1 to adjust how it retries things it sees in the shared directory, and there are probably all kinds of locking and race condition issues.

)A better solution would probably be still 2 parallel instances, but no shared directory, and a script which scans instance 1's deferred queue, uses postsuper to put it on hold, copies it to instance 2's incoming queue, and purges it from instance 1. This could be triggered from a cron job every few minutes, or perhaps an inotify hook

Publishing SDL Tridion Content to 3rd Party Delivery Platforms

In a previous project we had a scenario where the deployer was installed onto the CMS machine and the files published to the file system (no use of content delivery database).We had a custom script that would run once a day to check the stored files and ftp them to a specific location for a third-party application that was configured to pick them up.In terms of the publishing workflow this worked great (and is still working today about 7 years later!).

Some things to note:The script contained a lot of extra checking to ensure the files can be sent and are delivered, if they couldn't the original files were not overwrittenThere was no checking in place to ensure content authors had published all related content items together - perhaps this is good user case for 'bundles' ?The published content was not dynamic in any sense, content was stored as static html with some minor jsI'm happy to share the ftp scripting and configuration ... If I can dig it out :)
