Well all of the equipment is in. All of the materials and filters. People hired and trained. Break out floor plans are done for both the vacuum and carpet maintenance programs. Everyone has passed security for non-escort required. Customer satisfaction program has been created and is soon to be in place once we get security clearance for that. We start Monday.
Every 3 years in the past there was a new janitorial company that hired the last janitorial company's employees and supervisors. Nothing changed. All of Raytheon everywhere is watching this experiment that Don M (facilities) and myself have put together. One company for carpets. One for hard flooring and one for janitorial (Trash, Rest Rooms, Dusting.)
It is now time to cut through the mustard. To separate the want-to-be from those who want to get-er-done. Within the next few weeks we will see if I know what I am doing. If not then perhaps it would be better if I just go quietly into the night.
No need to wish me luck as my definition of luck is where my preparation meets my customer needs. For more weeks than I care to think about I have be backwards and forwards over this project. I can think of nothing else I can do to be perpared.
We will just have to see if I'm the man I think I am.

Olds,
Sounds like the war ministry has been burning the midnight oil for 24/7 for a while. Looks like you've got your battle plan together and if it meets the customers needs and satisfies them, then you've done your job well. [:)]
Just remember "The best laid plans... Murphys law... and all that other crap. Then there's always plan B" [:0] If None of the aforementioned comes into effect then you've done it <u>ALL</u> right.
Keep us posted. I'm curious just how picky they're going to be.
I WILL WISH YOU GOOD LUCK ANYWAY. [:D] Bill

Olds is the man[:D]. No luck needed when you know your business and know how to get it done. Your years of experience will see you through with minor problems I'd say[;)].

That probably isn't the best choice for your first post. Perhaps a little homework is in order.

We know you can read. Now try to comprehend what you've been reading, on a regular basis.
I don't know how long you have been reading the posts on this forum, but I see you became a member on the 25th just to post the <font color="red">BS</font id="red"> (and I don't mean <font color="red">B</font id="red">radley <font color="red">S</font id="red">moker) that you did. If all the information and experience posted by the members of this forum did not inspire you to join, but you joined to post the crap you did; gives me some insight ...... (I won't say any more).
Oh! I almost forgot.
Olds;
Glad to see you are getting off to a good start,
Dang....
Clarification is needed. Since I posted I was not returning to these forms I have in fact posted on 3 threads to include this one. The first two were a had to post. The information needed/ requested were to important to not reply. There have been a few threads where I almost supplied the information requested. However, I did not. Is it fair to the new owner to withhold information? I will leave that up to the group to answer. However, I don't see myself posting here again unless it is a have to post.
I started this thread for one reason. Many here know of this project that we are starting tomorrow. I have received a couple of E-mails asking how it was going. I've been asked on Chat night both via Voice Chat and Regular Chat as well. As such I wanted those people who were of interest to know that we are like a Race Horse coming out of the gate that has to potty and the restroom is at the other end of the track. <hr noshade size="1"><hr noshade size="1"><hr noshade size="1">meatman, you are correct. I'm the most self-centered, one-way-thinking, arrogant, self-promoting, <b>Son Of A Bitch</b> you will ever meet in your lifetime. And I'm Damn proud that I finally got here.
I will tell just how arrogant I am. 17 years ago when I start this company I only had $250.00 for equipment. Last night I took our employees and their mates out to the finest beef steak house on the west coast of Florida. A full open bar, and cabs waiting on those too happy to drive home. I won't get into how much, but I will tell you that out of Chits and Giggles of memory's lane the tip last night was $250.00 cash. So as you are about to read <b>I AM</b> the most self-centered, one-way-thinking, arrogant, self-promoting, <b>Son Of A Bitch</b> you will ever meet in your lifetime...as I also put another $250.00 tip on the card.
Yepper I'm A Arrogant Horse Ass and Damn Proud Of It, and everyone at that table last night and those who waitered on us are Damn Proud of it too!<hr noshade size="1"><hr noshade size="1"><hr noshade size="1">

Iceman,
<i>You mean like an alias for someone already registered.</i> The Forum Administrator should be able to see this meatheads IP address. Then find out who else has the same IP address. I know that V-Bulletin forum has that capability.[:D]
We would do that with trouble makers [}:)] then ban that IP address and it was good bye to that troublemaker. Only way they could get back was to re-register under another name and use another computer IP address. Broke that crap up real fast.

Much more effective is to contact said ISP & show them that one of their subscribers is using their service to harrass someone. They tend to look down on that because it gets them black-listed pronto. They also willingly share this information with other ISP's. All of a sudden, said user has no internet service.[;)]

Yea, Kirk, We had to do it that way too a couple of times. ISP's sure don't like to get a bad rap. IP addresses are a dead givaway though. Maybe a little scare has been sent his way by knowing that he <i><b>is</b></i> leaving a trail straight to his door. [:D]

An ISP has a set range for its customers. Normally it is the last set of the octets that changes for dynamic connections. However the 3rd can change as well. In all the years we fought game hackers we never saw the 2nd set change. Now there are a couple of ways to do this.
<b>One:</b>
123.67.223.01 <--- There are four sets of octets.
To limit the chance of banning an honest gamer we only ban the range of the last set which is 0 to 255.
123.67.223.0 <--- ranges starts here. 123.67.223.255 <--- range ends here.
This blocks 256 IPs. You never block off of the 3rd set. If you did you would effectively block 65,536 IPs.
<b>Two:</b>
AS I said an ISP has a given range for a customer. I don't remember any game hacker with a range of more than 7 or 8. So the second option was to ban the single IP every time he showed up.
Now for the bad news. There are proxies all over the world. [:(!] There are programs that for chump change a fool can purchase that will change his IP every single second going from one proxy to another.
However, they do have draw backs that can bite an uneducated user in his A$$. One of the programs I know about ($50.00) if the user is not real sharp then sooner or later that user gets to re-install their browser [:0]OUCH![:0] A person on dial up would never effectively use one of these over the counter programs as they are speed killers. The first time a trouble maker used one of these and it took him 20 minutes to re-register he would get tired of it real quick.
Now for the fun news. There are re-directs that can be added to a site that when a trouble maker logs on he finds himself looking at another site... say Disneyland's home page! [:D] This is an effective way of banning a member without banning his IP. Sure he can log back on under another name, IP etc.. However, if he does come back two or three times now you have a hard copy of information to give his ISP.
At the end of the day even if his Mac Address was known (Media Access Control Address.) you would have to still ban the single IP address or use a re-direct as a Mac can be spoofed as well.
