Commodore In the workplace
I work for a conservatory company and
with 2 other members of staff look
after 15 servers, 350 users and about
50 laser printers
When a "user" phones with a problem
we have a system to "log" calls, the
next free person will deal with the
call depending upon the impact, the
call could cost the business. The main
interface looks like this
The application was put together by
one of our programmers; at the time
we didn't have the budget to purchase
a commercial system.
OK so what has this got to do with
Commodore? I can here you asking,
well if you click on the About option
apart from a fancy screen of yours
truly, the application plays at random
a SID tune using Sidplay from a folder
where the application is executed from.
You can see the music track playing
next to the text MUSIC, I change the
music at random, but one time we had
the entire HSVC archive in a folder,
unfortunately due to the amount of
files this stopped the backup
application running so I had to trim
them down somewhat.
When each person has dealt with a call
and closes the item with whatever was
needed to fix the problem the
application again plays SID tunes
during the call closing period.
Just a gentle nod towards Commodore
and the fantastic sounds of the SID
chip. Do you have any Commodore
related items in your work place?
Of course my desk has the usual
wedding photo but also a nice C= logo
in a wooden frame. Sad, Mad or just
nutty about Commodore lets hear those
stories.
