He nodded understanding and shrugged his shoulders-his hands being full with designing computer security for all of ZFS European operations and internet connections. He also is studying to take the Java Certified Developer exam-sort of like the CPA exam-when (not if) he passes, will be the only certified developer at ZFS-which has ~1,000 software engineers/consultants. He is simply amazing!<br />Aaron<br /><br />Connectivity problems are not unusual. I went to Dr. yesterday for RX refill; she asked about my follow up visits with back surgeon and dermatologist that occurred six months ago; I was amazed to find out their software only keeps patient records inside the clinic-if sent to a hospital or specialist clinic-no information sent back to primary care physician, which seemed pretty bizarre to me. In all likelihood, same connectivity problems exist in the USA, which contributes to incredible cost of healthcare.aa66https://www.blogger.com/profile/14510489429577075178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762805374708307306.post-57453994712984207942011-01-27T14:34:54.281-05:002011-01-27T14:34:54.281-05:00Thanks Aaron for your ever faithful readership. Te...Thanks Aaron for your ever faithful readership. Tell Tomas to submit a proposal for this. No kidding! My brother, an electronics engineer, who had a reputation for being an all-around fix-it guy, was called into AT&T to solve, amazing, an accounting problem. My brother is by no means an accountant. But, he told me this story, so I believe him. Evidently AT&T had millions of dollars of unaccounted shortfall over years and couldn't figure out why. My brother researched (as a consultant) and found that somewhere back in the '80s, someone had rounded down instead of up a mil or something, and that had cost them the millions. Just saying. Maybe Tomas could convince them of his benefit in savings on customer service calls. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370518994926764708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762805374708307306.post-17687971724952748492011-01-26T15:46:29.992-05:002011-01-26T15:46:29.992-05:00Exasperating, to say the least!!! It is obviously...Exasperating, to say the least!!! It is obviously a conductivity problem that AT&T has failed to address-they need some smart software engineer (Like Tomas) to look at the system and FIX IT! Obviously it has not been an AT&T priority, or maybe they just forgot :-))<br /><br />I had a similar situation with a very large American bank when I refinanced my condo. It was just bizarre; how could the largest USA financial institution be all thumbs on a very simple refi? Don't know, except it took 3 months and many hours of my personal time: I could have been lying on the beach!<br /><br />Glad it is finally fixed. Thanks for writing about a situation that will resound/connect with MANY of us.<br /><br />Best regards & keep up the good work!<br />Aaronaa66https://www.blogger.com/profile/14510489429577075178noreply@blogger.com
