Hilarious IT Requests – Part II

Here is the second part of Solarwinds’ hilarious IT requests compilation! If you’ve missed part I, you can check it out right here.

The folks from Solarwinds recently asked their community of IT professionals to share helpdesk horror stories with them, and even though I’ve experienced plenty of those in the past, these stories are both new and hilarious! I’d also like to say that I’ve used Solarwinds products quite a bit when I was working full time as a System Administrator, and these guys have really helped me do my job more efficiently!

Amazing LEGO Orrery – Earth, Moon and Sun [Video]

From Jason Allemann:

A LEGO Orrery featuring the Earth, Moon and Sun. I tried to focus on making the rotation and movements as accurate as possible without making it too complex. It can be powered manually using the crank, or with a Power Functions M-Motor.

The relative sizes and distances between the objects is obviously not to scale, a concession often taken with these models. It’s also missing the tilt of the Earth and inclination of the Moon’s orbit. Perhaps some things that could be added in the future.

Building instructions and more information can be found here.

WHY: Dude Creates RC Flying Goth [Video]

From Otto Dieffenbach:

This video is of my 3D Hover Flyguy. He is a 3D replica of Gothminister’s lead singer Bjorn Alexander Brem. He flies quite well and hovers too, allowing him to operate in tight spaces. He weighs 4.5 pounds and is made primarily of carved polystyrene. All moving parts are internal to the figure for safety.

Otto Dieffenbach has also created plenty of other really cool flying characters:
