- 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.
