new job

Well, I got a new job. I am now the IT Manager for Fishbowl Inventory. We make an inventory managements software that can interface with Quickbooks. Check us out at www.fishbowlinventory.com (shameless plug you bet!!!!) They have been without an IT Manager for a couple months, so I have an enormous list of things to do, and some of them are major projects. We are moving our customer management database from ACT to SugarCRM. That should be entertaining :P I was going to build the Sugar machine on an Ubuntu LAMP server but I couldn't get all of the LAMP components to work together so I think I'll build it with the SugarCRM iso that configures everything on Red Hat. I hate Red Hat though...
I also got to install a BES server (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) onto our exchange. What a pain, but pretty useful now that it's up. :)
I do hope to start posting useful how-to's from the IT world, but we'll see how well I stick to it :)
I did find out from bleepingcomputer.com that the reason my new work laptop wouldn't display websites correctly was that the "Use High contrast" setting was set in accessibility options. I unchecked it an voila, I could see sites correctly :)
