Help Desk Talk Relaunched

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Ian Landsman announced yesterday that he’s rolling out the Help Desk Talk forums for another go ’round. I thought it was a great idea to have a board dedicated to help desk workers the first time he launched it, but it never really took off. Here’s hoping this one finds it’s wings.

Even though I don’t work at the help desk any more, I still think it’s a great idea, and plan to drop in from time to time to keep in touch with the end-user support community.

    Next!!! Got the new version of the Restore CD from Compaq, started the restore process, and wham! Crash-ola! Blue Screens, illegal operations, unrecoverable errors. Guess it wasn’t old versions of the cd that caused the crashes, eh? Well after running through various diagnostics for an hour or so with Andy, from Compaq, (who was actually…

    How do you Cover for Specialists?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Some of you who follow me on Twitter may have seen that I worked late a couple of days last week as some sort of epidemic has swept the help desk area of our firm, leaving them quite short-handed. In fact, they were left with no one available between the regular folks who work there,…
