[MCN-L] Mac vs. PC
So everyone is chiming in so I figured I'd give you our experience at the Columbus Museum of Art. We have 92 PC's and 6 Macs. The macs are used in Education and the Design Department. When I first got here I found that they were slow (unusually slow) and there were problems with them integrating with the active Directory system, etc. One user would complain that her mail through Entourage using Exchange was so slow she gave up and used webmail instead. Then I found out that by default, when you add the computer to the domain, the default is to have the user's home directory up on the network where their network home drive is defined. Well, not only was this extremely slow for loading the desktop and all those settings, but when Entourage would load this user's 1GB mail folder from the network it was unbearable! So, when I add a Mac to the domain, I always tell it to "force the user's home directory to the local computer" which solves that speed issue. We don't have any other major issues with Macs on the network. I'm the mac guy at the museum (in the IT department) so I take on the support issues that arise, normally, but they're few and far between. One other tip: if you need to move Fonts between one Mac and another, either use a mac-formatted CD or thumb drive, or connect directly with file sharing. Copying font files to a windows share and back down again has caused major problems for our macs in the past.

[MCN-L] do you Skype?
I'm a little confused. Why would Skype need to run down someone's pipe only to jump back out again in a way of utilizing bandwidth for other calls? That seems quite inefficient to take a detour in routing of a telephone call.

Ad-hoc Skype is explicitly banned here. It may return someday as an organizational initiative, but we're still trying to figure out what the benefit would be for us. (We have sponsored phone service and have virtually no international communication requirements, so our economics may not be typical.) It wasn't always this way - I allowed it for a while. I originally had to ban it because we were short on bandwidth, and some folks couldn't resist using it in ways that completely overwhelmed our connection. That led to a temporary suspension of Skype use pending system analysis, improvements, and re-analysis. After we upgraded our connection I discovered the more troubling property of Skype traffic that led to the current outright ban: As I understand it, Skype can exist as a "free" service because each user donates spare bandwidth to carrying calls for other users. For home or home-like use that's probably okay since the bandwidth Skype sees as idle is probably actually so. In an enterprise or enterprise-like setting, the individual Skype clients don't do as good a job at measuring excess capacity. My previous service was SDSL at 1.5 mbps, and with 45 people in the office our utilization was over 95% at all times. My second site users were essentially unable to work, and even main site users were losing patience. After the upgrade to 10 mbps (metro-Ethernet), my typical utilization went to 20% (peaking at 90%, but only occasionally and briefly - as it should be) and my remote users were very satisfied. But after installing Skype, even with no active calls and the software sitting "idle", my utilization went back up to 90%. I searched for workarounds or ways to manage its bandwidth consumption, but it's not really designed for managed operation - or may even be designed to work AROUND management. It definitely is designed to work around firewall restrictions, so my technological means to block the traffic were somewhat limited. On the bright side, this sequence of events raised the consequences of installing software without approval from "it'll piss off the IT department" to "you could get fired for it". ;-) Dave Salovesh Information Technology Manager National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Dowden, Robin Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:31 PM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: [MCN-L] do you Skype?

[MCN-L] Questions for Museum IT Strategy
I think of what kind of bandwidth are we going to need or want in-house and how can I make the network last without having to change equipment in 5 years. Also, what am I going to be doing for servers. Continue to get used or go with new. The CMA here is going through a major renovation. We're rebuilding our network from the ground up. We're going with all new equipment and a 10GB backbone to last us 15 years. It's going to cost us a ton, but we're committed to having a good IT structure in place for years to come. We commissioned a company smwinc.com (SM & W) (Jon Burris) who came and visited us and they're doing an IT Master Plan for us. It cost us a decent amount (although less than 50k) but it's a plan for the future and it's got some great information in there.

[MCN-L] Online donations
One way is to have the form online that stores the data (preferably encrypted) into a database. And then an e-mail is sent to your department who handles the cash. They then click the link to go to a secure SSL site which they can then download the CC numbers and names, etc. then charge them in-house. A shredder should be nearby to make sure those numbers aren't left lying around. It's certainly less secure than Pay Pal or an online processor but it's cheaper too. The key is the secure website, if you don't do it securely, it doesn't help anyone.

We don't actually. We just do the stuff in our spare time and if we get people from it, great. But ther is no ROI being calculated. We don't have the staff to dedicate to social networking sites and if we did, we would probably find we're doing lots of work with little return. At least that's what I'm seeing online in presentations I've seen. It's good to get your name out there in this manner. "presence" is very important. But don't dedicate so many hours to it that you're not getting your normal work done. Perhaps in the future it will be better but in the end, the web is mainly social so it's a method of building relationships rather than customers.

[MCN-L] HD video in the galleries?
The Columbus Museum of Art has had a lot of experience with this lately. One thing we found early on was we had a very high-powered PC running Windows Vista and it would not play the quicktime file properly. This was because we found out that Vista puts DRM between Quicktime and the hard disk that would cause disk access to the data and it would cause it to studder and crash. Then we tried Apple TV, however the last iteration of Apple TV (before version 2.0) it didn't have looping video so it would play once and be done. I believe the new Apple TV will loop video so that can be an option. We finally ended up with Mac Mini's. We bought 5 of them for an exhibition we're doing now. Our video designer created Full HD video and exported the VIDEO_TS folder (or whatever that is, I can get more details if you need them) to the hard drive. Then we copied that folder to the Mac Mini and used Apple's Automater scripting tool to create a automater action that loaded at startup that would load up the DVD player and play the video. The machine automatically shuts down at night and loads up in the morning and people don't have to think about it.

[MCN-L] Website content analysis / site map - recommended software?
Hmm, that is interesting. I have never used DreamWeaver myself. I use Eclipse because I do more coding and manual HTML than anything else. I just tried a search in Eclipse, got a list but it wasn't exportable. I have a program on my Mac called "Text Wrangler" it's free from Bbedit.com (go to products then text wrangler). You can use it to search a folder of documents for a string. It will output the results and then you can highlight all the results and copy/paste them into another document or possbily Excel, I don't know about the latter.

Wanted to put out a question to see what software other people might be using to do content analysis of their websites. For example, we would like to be able to scan our entire site to identify all the links that point to a particular store item (such as "Rembrandt, Self-Portrait Poster"), or a particular category of items (such as "posters") - these links can exist in multiple parts of the site: special exhibitions, permanent collection, timeline, etc Thanks in advance, Shyam Shyam Oberoi Sr. Website Technology Manager The Metropolitan Museum of Art ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l

For instance, if you have DreamWeaver or even a coding application like Eclipse, you load the site up and then use the search feature to search multiple files for the links you want.
