Just a quick update to let you know that we're working on a new video! Additionally you can look forward to a fun little tool we like to call the 'Plastroltech SalesGuy Simulator'. Lots of easter eggs and goodies will be coming your way soon! If you haven't already had a chance, click on the 'Unix' icon on the right side of our homepage and play with the Unix simulator. Yes you can reboot the server :) -josh

Submitted by John K (not verified) on Tue, 01/20/2009 - 19:37.I would love to have an original, raw, uncompressed, full/high resolution of this video to burn on a DVD and watch at my leisure. It's been a year or so since I first seen "Sales Guy vs. Web Dude" and still watch it about once a week for a few good chucks--it never gets old to me mainly because I've been there and can relate to the poor IT in this video.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 09:04.Also, the mood created in the website with a gray page background and then pastel sidebar area just doesn't work. I would recommend pulling in a lighter shade of blue to match the excellent color scheme in the banner area for the sidebars and the main content header backgrounds (or just used blue in your header fonts) to create a continuity.

Submitted by Research Paper (not verified) on Tue, 03/10/2009 - 04:04.It has to be an Intel Mac too, VMware only runs on MacIntel's (PPC Macs can run windows, but it's fairly slow and there's not enough graphics support to play halo, and they use VMware's Unity for his main Windows workstation). There's a total of 5 virtual machines running (counted the tabs in VMware). Looks like XP with Luna turned off, most likely for performance.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 03/25/2009 - 01:56.I don't see a single instance of VMware Just the Mac Remote Desktop client and some other program I've never seen in my live to remote the the webserver. Halo 1 can be played on PPC Mac (I've done it. (warezed)).
Oh and I can't make the Sales Guy simulator work. I get a security error (which is showing up on the fake Windows, so I don't know if it's possible for it to be real or not) whenever I click connect.

System
Submitted by Adam (not verified) on Sat, 08/09/2008 - 17:05.I assume this was shot on a working system... I was wondering about the possibility of a description of how everything interacts on that system, as it look pretty fun!
From a quick glance it looks like your main OS is OSX with windows on VMware and possibly VNC to the fedora machine as it looks like the server, but just in general it would neat to know what all that is, and how it is all set up...
Thanks!
It's not that hard...
Submitted by dragon on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 22:27.Your right about the base system being OSX, 10.4 to be specific (you can tell by the menu bar @ the top). It has to be an Intel Mac too, VMware only runs on MacIntel's (PPC Macs can run windows, but it's fairly slow and there's not enough graphics support to play halo, and they use VMware's Unity for his main Windows workstation). There's a total of 5 virtual machines running (counted the tabs in VMware). Looks like XP with Luna turned off, most likely for performance. The video monitoring for the server room is probably built into the camera consolidator and network accessable. The KVM connections to the server can't be a VNC session because it wouldn't be persistent through the shutdown, reboot (shows the VGA glithcing when the power resets), BIOS, kernel panic, and finally, the OS load, like shown. That means its an IPkvm installed in the rack. With as many virtual machines and apps as he had running, his machine probably has between 4 - 8 GBs of RAM too. Oh, and all MacIntel's have gigabit ethernet, too.
Hope that answers your questions,
Dragon
Question: What is that
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 08/09/2008 - 13:16.Question: What is that monitoring program that pops up at 5:42 (where the web dude is talking with the guy rebooting servers in the data center)?

Not as pretty but it does a better job, and it can literally monitor anything with an ethernet port. (and somethings with out :>, wap's etc.)

Submitted by dragon on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 22:31.Not 100%, but I'll bet its either homegrown, or part of the software in the multi-machine IPkvm installed in the rack. Could also be part of a smart power strip, but seeing as someone had to physically reboot it, this seems unlikely.

Keep up the great work....! You made my day.

Submitted by Lardy (not verified) on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 15:03.I work for USA’s biggest bank and some of us from various departments spent a number of hours today pissing ourselves laughing watching this video. This video is soooo close to the real world we experience that I believed it was real (just a typical day for us techies) and believe me, we talk to people in other departments who run critical applications and they have the same mental/technical I.T. level as this sales guy. In the name of saving money, they hire people who do not even know what a ‘ps –ef ‘ means who have to upgrade Unix systems. And for the machine room, when you enter some of these which are the size of football fields, it’s almost impossible to hear anything down a mobile phone (if you can get a signal). This one time, many years ago, I went in to a machine room to reboot a Compaq server in a large cab. They said “reboot the beige one”. Ok, there were 5 racked beige 1U servers so I did them all and one was an exchange server which did not come back up…. I called support and told them I tripped over a power cable… Like you can trip over a power cable in a rack :0 taught me not to try and ball shit my way out).
Keep up the good work, this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life… It even tops Jay and Silent BoB Strike back.
