Title: Live Engineer Monitoring (April Fools)
Post by: OneDollar on Thu 02/04/2015 12:11:34
For April Fools day the IT company I work for built a website where our clients could 'watch us solve their IT problems in real time'. April Fools day's over now, but I thought some AGSers might get a laugh out of it too:

Yeah, this is great, and a perfect April Fools (in that it's a an amusing gag rather than an attempt to actually trick anyone). LOL!

HAHAHA hilarious!!!

Did you get any interesting feedback from customers?

Nothing much from our clients, although everyone seemed to like it. It did get posted on the sysadmin subreddit, and we got a lot of sysadmins identifying with one or more of the camera feeds though. Mostly camera 2 ;-D

Haha, nicely done! I saw a similar thing on the JP:World website recently too. Yours are more humorous :=

Thanks! I've had the idea for years, Cyriak's Large Hadron Collider webcams were a pretty big inspiration:
