INSTALLING A HUSBAND

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,

Desperate.

DEAR DESPERATE,
First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to 0A Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Flatulence and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstance install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all of your system resources). In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash
Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.

Good Luck
Tech Support

this is from a facebook friend. Kudos to the author whoever you are.

Unfortunately this is all to common, you have that new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software or some other software tool.

You make the capital investment, go through a long and painful installation, configuration and training process and then;

Finished right?

Maybe not!

Once the software is installed the change requests start coming in.

Some of these changes will be great – they will add value, or improve decisions. But some of them won’t.

Every change has a cost. Both in time, and possibly work flows and training. Not to mention Quality Control and testing.

Do you manage these changes?

Do you understand the value equation in these change requests?

If it takes ‘x’ hours for one particular change, is there value there to be received?

One small change may not seem like much – but add them all up and the costs start to rise.

And when it seems that money is already spent – it can be difficult to see these operational cost leaks.

The SMB Takeaway

Nickles And Dimes

You have spent money, and time on that software implementation.

But you can’t consider it ‘complete’.

Put all changes through the same value ringer that the initial project went through.

As the old saying goes; Watch the nickles and dimes, then the dollars take care of themselves.

How to install Linux, easily.  From Train Signal Training.

There are a few things that I am going to address in this article:

• I’ll talk about how to use the Live CD so that you can try out Linux without actually installing it
• I’ll also discuss how to do a complete install for those of you who have given up on Windows completely … hey, I don’t blame you, I sympathize
• I will also address another option for those of you who still want to be able to use Windows every now and again while also having Linux

Big Software?

OK, I mean the larger business or enterprise software that you own, that could be E-Mail servers, database servers and the like.

Yes I am a Business Technology Manager for a small business.

The term small business is key!

That means I still do a lot of hands on, down in the weeds, software installation and configuration.

I have been doing a large migration of data and databases onto both an upgraded server, and upgraded database platform.

No Defaults!

I am quite sure you have done it!

You are installing some software on your computer, maybe it is word processing software, or graphics software. You start the installation, and just keep clicking Next, Next, Next until you get to Finished.

You just accepted all the defaults that the software vendor thinks is appropriate.

Personal software on your computer is one thing, but with larger business applications, never accept those defaults. Because occasionally those defaults will not be appropriate.

Even today large software installations can resort to default settings that can be ludicrous.

And too often people just keep clicking Next and accepting those defaults.

Those of you who may have worked with Oracle in the past probably remember the change_on_install password, (that was the account password!) and too often it still was the password.

Or you may remember the default blank system administrator password in another database management system. 

When it comes to larger software packages, it may be a sales force tool, maybe ERP, but somewhare hiding in there will be a default that makes zero sense.

Don’t accept those defaults.

Ever.

Licensing Prior to Orientation Day

When trying to Register Users after entering the Registration Code, the system gave us an error message and we could not proceed with the registration. The result of this problem was that PS had to create more licenses for TPH. Once this was completed the registration was successful.

Other systems problems we encountered were with using individual email address, this also created an error. The result is that the system worked better to use a generic email address. TPH used : firstnamelastname@phbrainfit.com

The Registration Code used was: PSC 8Y6 YS6 PLA L3A

Password: insight (lower case)

Also when registering a resident prior to class beginning you have to continue until you receive 2 confirmation prompts before exiting the program or the User’s name does not appear on the screen when they sign into Insight. AM & TRY
