Interesting Corner Case - App Installers

I have encountered an interesting corner case with Jamf NOW App Installers. I suspect the same could be said of any other App Installers for Kandji or Jamf Pro (at least based on the documentation)–which is certain apps just don't play nicely.

FileMaker, Adobe Products and Parallels are all good examples of this. Each one has robust customization options that you can bake into your install process, but by the very nature of the App Installers design you can't leverage those.

For example: in the case of FileMaker the assisted install method cannot be fully leveraged to give a zero friction installation. The same basic rules apply for the Adobe and the Parallels case where there are options you can't leverage because the installation process is fixed and cannot be changed.

Just a quick observation, but I think this points to an important fact–App Installers are good, but are only so good in the forms we see them in right now.

[ms-demeanor]

There are some important things to know about the next section of this story.

It is gross. Very very gross, very unsanitary, read at your own risk.

John was a fully adult middle aged man, maybe in his mid to late fifties; he was not an older person possibly dealing with dementia, he was not a young person in his first job with zero idea of how to behave in an office environment (or just, like, the world in general. What the fuck.).

John had worked at the company for ten years.

The company was hiring because John was fucking up. He wasn't doing his work, when it was getting done it was getting done badly, and it was costing us customers. But Gary, the owner, has always been a coward about replacing people, so I was interviewed in the very specific time that John took his lunch every day. I don't think the interview went particularly well, but John was REALLY fucking up and B2B vouched for me as at least someone who had no history of significantly fucking the company over and therefore a measurably better employee than John. I got the call back about the job before I'd even made it home.

So on the fifteenth of the month (which gives Gary the opportunity to fire John on a Friday afternoon and hand him his last check) I show up for my first day of Business Work in my cute little knee length skirt with my cute little button-up shirt and my cute little purple peacoat because I am an Adult and I am going to be a Business Lady, or something in that approximate neighborhood. I am going to be assisting and executing. I am going to be administrating and office managing. The coffee pot is going to be clean, the paperwork is going to be done, and my email will find you no matter how far you run.

(I am clueless).

I spend the first few hours familiarizing myself with the programs I lied about being proficient in in the interview and learning how to navigate Filemaker Pro 7 (released in 2005, the year is 2011, we will continue using this program without upgrades or changes until 2018). I also start emptying the desk drawers of all the stuff that John didn't take when he left and begin an inventory of the parts cabinet. At some point, I am sitting in my secretarial cubicle at my enormous L-shaped desk and I am emptying drawers on the far right hand side. I finish emptying the drawer into the trashcan and instead of pushing my wheely office chair back to my keyboard, I grab the edge of the desk and pull myself back into place.

There is something sharp and abrasive under the desk, which I've felt a few times scraping over my knees as I move my legs, or have touched in passing as I reached for the trash can. I lean down to look under the desk, to see if maybe there are splinters that are chipping off or hardware left over from a keyboard tray or something.

That's not it.

At first, I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Is it mold? Is it some very, very weird pattern in the particleboard across both legs of the L-shaped desk? It's hard to see because it's dark under the desk, so I get the flashlight out of my purse.

It's not mold.

It's boogers.

I'm sitting on the floor of my brand new shiny office lady job looking up at approximately twelve square feet of snot stalactites that have been smeared on the bottom of the desk for the last ten years.

John was apparently a nose-picker, and he decided to share that with me.

I stare in abject horror for probably thirty seconds, then stand up and go to the bathroom and wash my hands very, very well, and then I walk to B2B's office.

"Hey man," I say.

"Hey," he says back. "How's the first day so far?" (He has asked me this every twenty minutes and I deeply appreciate it - working with him is great until he unceremoniously abandons me for a good job three years later. We are still friends - in the malicious compliance con story he was the person sneaking stickers all over the place).

"Um," I say, "I need you to come look at something because I want to make sure that I'm not crazy."

"Well, that's not ominous," he says and follows me back to my office. I hand him my flashlight and direct him behind the cubicle. "Do you see anything weird with the under-side of the desk?"

He crouches down on the floor, angles the flashlight up, and frowns. Then frowns harder. Then leans a bit closer. Then shouts "WHAT THE FUCK?"

Two technicians come running.

"What's wrong?" Tech one asks.

"That motherfucker has been sticking boogers to his desk for ten fucking years!"

"What?" Tech two exclaims, and they each take their time with the flashlight to look up at my desk and marvel in horror.

We stand around in contemplative shock when everyone has had a chance to observe Mount Mucus.

"Could he have done this after he got fired?"

"That was on Friday, man, you can't make that much snot in a few hours."

"He literally kept tissues on his desk what the fuck was he doing?"

"I don't know! What the fuck, do we have to check the cars?"

"Can any of you tell me if we have any bleach?" I ask.

"Uh, yeah, there's some cleaning supplies in the server room," B2B says. "Why?"

Well, because nobody else was going to clean it up.

So I spent the last two hours of my first day at work spraying windex (we didn't have bleach) at snot central to allow the accumulated mucus to soften then scraping it off with paper towels.

It wasn't really assisting anyone, but there sure was somebody I was in the mood to execute. And to be fair, that is the biggest middle finger he could have possibly given to the job that had fired him so unceremoniously.

Actually, I've told the story about how I got the job at the coffee shop by handling a dead body - did I tell you that I got this job because someone at the hacker meetup put together a powerpoint about how much he fucking hated his coworker?

TELEVISION SHOW MANAGER SOFTWARE - A FILEMAKER & .NET SOLUTION

Executive Summary

Mindfire Solutions delivered key software systems for building Live TV shows for a retail shopping TV network. The primary business objective of the complete software was to facilitate multiple different operations (activities and communications) to air a show successfully on Live TV. Mindfire played its part in building systems for Run-up and Run-down operations, integrating them with Show Planning, Production Outline Items, Media Server, and Rundown Live Server. This Desktop and Web enabled system includes services like data-synchronization between multiple databases using ODBC connections, multiple-user setup, Active Directory login services, and printing/emailing of reports.

About Our Client

Client: Confidential

Location: USA

Industry: Media & Entertainment

Business Situation

The client firm’s customer, a Retail Shopping TV Network company, didn’t have a single software solution for Run-up or Run-down show-production processes. They were incredibly manual in how they managed their Show Production process. As a result, they were extremely dependent on emails and phone calls to send requests, to receive request updates, and to communicate status of multiple aspects. They operated in a highly volatile work environment, but with ineffective infrastructure. Overwhelmed by the situation, the customer certainly needed a solution to manage their workflows for close to 9000 shows they were to produce each year.

Technologies

Oracle 10g, FileMaker Pro 10 Adv, FileMaker 10 Server, 360Works tools, C#.Net, SQL Server 2005

How Does a Direct Mail API Work?

Direct mail API integrations automate the process of sending direct mail to customers based on specific triggers and events. This eliminates manual processes that are often time consuming, expensive and prone to error.

Whether you are nurturing leads in the sales funnel or re-engaging a customer after an abandoned cart, automated workflows enable you to deliver targeted, relevant follow up campaigns that increase engagement and ultimately drive conversions. The best way to achieve this level of automation is by connecting your CRM, ecommerce or marketing platform with a direct mail API. This allows you to automatically send personalized postcards and letters to your audience based on the actions they take.

Postcard automation APIs also reduce the risk of human error by removing the need for duplicate checking and data entry. This ensures that your postcard or letter is delivered to the right person, every time. Some APIs also offer additional services such as postal certification, address verification, EDDM presort and mailing list creation, all of which can improve the accuracy of your mailings and help you save money on postage rates.

When choosing a direct mail API, look for one that offers a user-friendly interface and is easy to integrate into your existing web app or CRM. Look for a provider that can quickly import your contacts and sync with other apps, such as Daylite, Google Sheets or FileMaker Pro. You should also be able to easily create and customize your postcards or letters with a drag-and-drop template builder. For example, Inkit offers a plug-and-play dashboard that makes it easy for marketers or designers to build and finalize postcards in minutes.

Why FileMaker Pro Becoming So Popular for Custom App Development

What is FileMaker Pro?

A cross-platform database application tool called FileMaker Pro was created by an Apple Inc. subsidiary (Claris International). FileMaker Pro combines a database engine with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that enables users to manage contacts and projects as well as organise data into screens, layouts, and forms. Originally created for Apple computers, FileMaker Pro is now readily accessible on the Windows platform.

The key feature of FileMaker Pro is that non-programmers may use it without any special training. It includes more than 30 integrated starter solutions that enable users or app developers to take care of the crucial work quickly.

History:

FileMaker Pro began out as a Disk Operating System (DOS) application before being primarily developed for the Apple Mac and being made available in April 1985. It has been cross-platform and accessible for Windows and Mac OS since 1992. Initially, FileMaker server runs on Linux servers, but it then only supports Windows and macOS servers. A client version for iOS devices launched in July 2019 and is offered in desktop, server, iOS, and online delivery modes.A FileMaker cloud was introduced in 2016 and currently, a FileMaker becomes so popular for Custom App Development.

FileMaker Pro’s Capabilities & its Features:

Since its debut, FileMaker Pro has been available in a number of iterations, ranging from basic to advanced FileMaker. FileMaker Go is also accessible for iPhone, iPod, and iPad users.

Some of FileMaker Pro’s Key Capabilities Include:

Forming a Custom Database:You can use FileMaker Pro to build a database that can be customised to meet your unique needs..

Creating Reports:As the programme provides capabilities for detailed reporting, we can utilise them to manage and automate user tasks. We can easily generate email reports in Excel or PDF using FileMaker Pro.

Broadcasting Data on the Web:With only a few clicks, users of FileMaker may securely publish their databases online. Users can design surveys, forms for collecting consumer feedback, registration 

Sharing the Data:Users of Macs and Windows can safely share data with each other thanks to FileMaker Pro. They are able to share the databases across a network with up to nine more users.

FileMaker Pro typically works with records in fields and is pertinent to forming data into layouts. We can include multiple tables in a single document using FileMaker. The task is done using the modes listed below.

Layout Mode:This model explains how data is present on the screen.

Find Mode: In this mode, records from a table are located.

Preview Mode:This mode provides a preview of the data prior to printing.

Browse Mode:You can allow data to be entered and seen in this mode.

The one advantage of FileMaker Pro is that you only need to enter data once to display it in various ways. We can show some fields and layouts based on user request. These features encourage developers to use FileMaker for their clients' customised applications
