  1. Enable Virtual Desktop on Virtual Desktops on Windows? · · Score: 2, Informative

    From Enable Software at http://enablevirtualdesktop.com/ Works pretty much just like an X11 desktop pager, you can drag apps from window to window and they behave as expected. It also has a set of 'rules' that you can implement to handle apps that don't play nice. I have been using this software for 8 years now, it just works.

  2. Bill back IT's hours to the other departments on Making the Most of IT support? · · Score: 1

    In one (only one of 15+) high tech firms I have worked for, the IT department billed it's hours to the other departments. This was company-wide interdepartmental policy -- the graphics folks billed their hours to back to Marketing and Sales, the loading dock billed it's hours to the package receivers, etc. This seemed to make all of the managers very cognizant of the fact that they were spending actual company resources when they got IT help, and that "this is costing me money" attitude made the managers act like very respectful regular (outside) customers. The managers attitude trickled down to the workers, resulting in the one of the best IT normal worker relationships I have ever seen. It seems folks only value what they have to pay for.

  3. InterMapper: Network Monitoring and Alerting Softw on Managing Huge Networks with Open Source Tools? · · Score: 1

    Developed at Dartmouth.edu, now spun off for profit. Cheap and it works real good. I have spoken with many Tivoli/openview users who say Intermapper works far better on thier networks. -- nobody and I speak for one another

  4. A Book on this topic -- Code Complete on Toss Me a Rope: Programming Yourself Into a Hole? · · Score: 1

    Code Complete -- Steve McConnell, Microsoft Press ISBN# 1-55615-484-4 Great book on the programming aspects of the development process. This book is NOT about writing code, it is about managing and programming within large software projects.
