Subject: from Brett bonner: Kroger's New Weapon: Infrared Cameras

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/3/2013

from Brett bonner: Kroger's New Weapon: Infrared CamerasThis is another system from my team. It started out as an operations research project, we identified the opportunities through discrete event simulation, and then developed a system around the findings. Actually, this was an ideal innovation project.I sincerely hope that other fedexers will go to kroger, look up at quevision, and know this is part of our shared experience.

Deby Abbott Jolley5/3/2013

I've wondered what that screen was all about... Thanks for sharing!!

FedEx Trivia Question: 1. What was the orignal device called that connected the SuperTracker quadracks to the Network & Cosmos?2. What was the replacement device called?

Roger Yannett Sr5/4/2013

I remember a device before the super-tracker, was it the HHT?

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/4/2013

not HHT, I think that was the name of the scanner for Comos IIa though

John Toscano5/4/2013

The Smart Base and the PC Base?

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/4/2013

john, you and brett bonner got the correct answers

John Toscano5/4/2013

Do you remember who developed them?

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/4/2013

it seems like Norand did the smartbase and the pcbase was inhouse in kurt wulffs dept. maybe bill strange and gary pantlik and some others, jimmie williis group in cos was also involved in dev ....but that was all probably 25 yrs ago

John Toscano5/4/2013

Norand did the Smartbase. Bill played a major role in the PC Base development with Gary. At least that's my recollection. 1987?

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/4/2013

That is about the right time.

Dan Goss5/5/2013

Mr Gary Pantlik developed the API in the Norand Smartbase while a guy at Norand (last name was Seiko) developed the SLU-P (LU-0) SNA protocol. Ponder chewed my ass because Pantlik worked alone and he had no back-up. So Bill Strange and I think Gary Holmes pitched in.

John Toscano5/5/2013

Sounds right.

FedEx Trivia Question: For you zapmail historians, what was 555-1212?

Jack Brown5/4/2013

Telephone company information line

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/4/2013

Correct: and for Zapmail it was the MPN to the node directing admin messages about documents to the Tandems & then onto COSMOS

Ezra Fried5/5/2013

Here are some more Zapmail Trivia questions. What was a GOT? What was 12185? What was the size of the disk drive on the IPS2?

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/5/2013

I am stumped on this one

Ezra Fried5/9/2013

I see that no body got this one. GOT Gemini Operating Terminal. The GOT was the interface between the Scanner, Printer and Zap Central. It sported a dual 81/2 FDD. 12185, was the default password that was used to access the IPS2. The numbers 12185 were chosen because the IPS2 was released to the public on January 21, 1985. The IPS2’s were originally equipped with a 10meg drive; they were soon upgraded with a whopping 20meg drive.

Jack Brown5/9/2013

I should have remember that since I was in the Control Center for awhile.

Ezra Fried5/20/2013

Now, if I can only remember where I put my car keys.

One of Fred Smith's first speeches (approximately)after the move from Little Rock to Memphis:'This will be a fresh, fast paced company that cares about its people, where teamwork is the norm and everyone pitches in to contribute to its success. You will be treated with respect, honored for your dedication, and acknowledged for your special contributions. Each one of you is a vital member of the team with an important job to do, a job just as critical to the success of the company as every other job.You will be recognized as the expert on the job you are doing and will be free to use your creative talents to improve that activity. We will provide training for your benefit, promote from within, and commit to a no-layoff policy so long as the company survival is not at stake. You will receive a fair wage for your work; you will have a protective benefit package including medical, dental, sick leave, disability coverage, as well as a retirement plan, all of which will expand as Federal Express matures. Each of you will share in the profits of the company, and at some future point you will have an opportunity to own stock in the company.''Each of you, doing your job to the best of your ability, will produce a strong company with a surplus to reinvest in our future. The surplus will fund wage increases, provide a profit sharing program, and ultimately provide your retirement benefits. Profits will also provide a fair return on invested capital for our shareholders. This dedicate core group is going to make Federal Express a model for other companies to emulate.'From 'Changing How the World does Business' by Roger Frock, FedEx's first COO. P 66-67

Update Gary Holmes/from Barbara Geater/facebookGary, who was involved in a tragic bicycle accident, has been moved to live with his family in West Memphis, from his home in Cordova.Here is an update on Gary Holmes who was critically injured in a bicycle car accident/from Barbara Geater/facebook:Good visit with Gary Holmes today. His family has him living with his Dad in West Memphis. Looks like a good situation for both Gary and his family. Gary smiled at old race stories, especially the one about trying to "blend in with the cro...wd" at a race (IM Louisville or IM USA?) so Brian Wamble would not realize Gary was ahead and catch him. He also seemed to love all the new Terrapin nick names. Chubb Rubb seems to be his favorite. We'll be sending him race pictures throughout the season so he can keep with with the Terrapins and other Triathlete's performances. .... It is difficult to call it real communication. But he does react with facial expressions. Hard to know how much he understands, but he does follow the mood of the people in the room with smiling and laughter.

Subject: A bit of history, One of the first peer PC applications

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/15/2013

A bit of history, One of the first peer PC applicationsAround the late 1980's FedEx was rolling out 25,000 NEC APC's (personal computers) that were received in lieu of buying more Zapmail machines(after it was shut down). Dennis Jones rolled them out, and thus began the march to increasing the amount of billing done automatically from these machines. Jim Colson's field organization was servicing these computers and every time there was any problem, they would dispatch a field service tech to look at the computer.Gary Holmes saw a need and wrote a piece of software where techs could dial into any machine, with permission of the customer, and look at all the software and files as if he were there. This was way before the internet, PC Anywhere type software or any peer to peer software.Jim Colson cut 8 future service techs out of his organization because of this innovative idea. Now it seems obvious there was a need, but then everything was new.And I believe Joe Williams of COS also wrote something like this but it wasn't deployed into the FedEx network.

Charles Morgan5/15/2013

Jimmy, that was called TRAP and it stood for Telecom Remote Access Program - I actually wrote that instead of Gary. We put the word Telecom in the name so it would be identified with our division. Sherry Hawks and the hotline support team were the main users of TRAP; we received a QAT award in 1991 for it.

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/15/2013

My apologies Chuck......it was a great idea, Jimmy

Charles Morgan5/15/2013

Jimmy - thanks! Gary was actually very helpful in many projects that were communications related. We collaborated together 20 years ago to produce the first FedEx Tracking Software that was mass distributed on a diskette, that anyone with a Windows or DOS box could run. I wrote the GUI and he wrote the communications layer; this was more than a year before the Internet based tracking was available.

Chris Apalodimas5/17/2013

Anyone remember the original Epson meters, that preceded these? The Customer Automation program was originally an Epson Meter laptop (programmed by Steve Stewart, I think, before he was a Fedex employee). It was sponsored by Craig Bell, VP Sales. We put the original ones at Holiday Inn (commerce Center), one at Otis Elevator in MS, can't remember the rest. The program was under Paul Lucking in Information Central? Eventually they started Customer Automation & it was under Roy Hawkins & Lydle Simpson (both of which had come out from the mainframe FMR/FAMIS, and actually swapped mgt levels), eventually under Dennis Jones. They had a cassette tape that was to be mailed in each night with the revenue info on them. They originally were started by the AE receiving a check from the customer, entering the amount into the meter (via super secret password). I wrote the original procedures for handling the tapes & receipts. . . We accumulated 6 mos worth of cassette tapes in Clarke tower, before anyone got around to programming the mini-computer that was supposed to read them . .. the start of the original pipeline.

Charles Morgan5/17/2013

Chris, I think Wade Waldrup may have worked on those Epson meters, post ZapMail... - maybe he can comment... I seem to remember him telling me about the meter devices one time years and years ago...

Chris Apalodimas5/17/2013

Chuck, I'm sure Wade did work on them. I was in on the initial launch in the mid-80s. I was a ProjEng in Ground Ops at the time, so my interest then was Operations not IT.

Subject: This is the 20th anniversary of the launch of FedEx PowerShip/3!

Charles Morgan5/17/2013

This is the 20th anniversary of the launch of FedEx PowerShip/3!PowerShip/3 was launched in 1993 and was an online client/server solution for customers who shipped 50 packages or less. Each customer who used PowerShip/3 received a small footprint computer and thermal printer, which dialed into FedEx to perform online shipping real-time as opposed to end of day. The concept paved the way for Internet-based shipping a few years later. Miley Ainsworth and led the development effort of PowerShip/3. I was glad to have been a part of that development effort back then; we learned so much from that experience.

Deby Abbott Jolley5/17/2013

And it was so cute!

Sonny Holman5/17/2013

Didn't know this was happening, would have come out to cheer you on.

Charles Morgan5/17/2013

We designed the shipping screen to look just like a paper airbill so that the customer would relate to filling out an airbill; I explained in meetings as the WYSIWYG GUI design philosophy (What You See Is What You Get) see Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG

The FedEx SuperTracker implemented about 5 years before UPS did the DIAD device.

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/18/2013

From my faint memories, around the mid 80's there were two people doing program management for the SuperTracker for change management. David Dietzel would coordinate Supertracker changes which were done in COS, and Carl Nehls who would coordinate COSMOS mainframe changes which were also done in COS. David retired around 7 years ago, and Carl will be leaving FedEx this year with the buyout.

Charlie Derrick5/18/2013

Whatever happened to Dave Dietzel?

Jack Brown5/18/2013

And I msnaged the team who managed the system that dowlnloaded the software and URSA tables. The system was DSMS and was developed in COS.

Jack Brown5/18/2013

man, i wish my phone would correct my spelling errors.

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/18/2013

David Dietzel did live in Fayette County and I was told he had some land along the 385 Interstate that was being built. People Search shows David living in Franklin Tennessee.

Charles Morgan5/19/2013

I have one still in the box never used, but it's not the model in the picture, it is the Enhanced Super Tracker (EST)... An interesting detail is that the Super Tracker was programmed in the FORTH language, which was quite an innovative choice and held up very well over the decades.

Jimmy Glenn Burk6/8/2013

Interesting fact: At some station a courier van drove over a SuperTracker and crushed it pretty flat. It was sent in for repair with the tag "Keyboard Does Not Work"

Jimmy Glenn Burk6/13/2013

Subject: I hate ties:

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/20/2013

I hate ties:I am going on a cruise I was talking to a friend about our dis-taste in wearing ties; and from 1974 to 79 at Burroughs & DCC I had to wear ties...and from 1980 to 1995...had to wear them as a professional at FedEx.I brought back a memory from Burroughs days..that I didn't witness but was relayed to me.Some of the computer consoles had moving metal print balls, so that they could print thru multiple carbon copies. One employee at a local hospital(wearing a tie) was working with the console adjusting the paper. The console grabbed his tie and started jerking his head to and fro as it printed something. Screaming...a security guard came in and didn't know how to stop it or unplug it...so he did the next best thing.He pulled his sidearm and started putting bullets into the computer...until it stopped jerking the employee's head around. I don't think the computer survived to hurt any more humans.

Jack Brown5/21/2013

that brings back a memory of a young man in Zap Central who was going to shred a customer's document after retransmitting it. He leaned over the shredder and it grabbed his tie. He started to panic until someone ran over with a pair of scissors and cut his tie.

Subject: Story from Winn Stephenson: I'm going to check Snopes on this - sounds fishy.

Jimmy Glenn Burk5/21/2013

Story from Winn Stephenson: I'm going to check Snopes on this - sounds fishy.The story I remember that is a little similar to this was when I worked at Cook Ind in the early 70's. Yes - there were computers then. I was a programmer and Jim Covington was computer ops. We had a IBM model 40, 2 tape drives, a 1403 printer and a gaggle of IBM 2311 disk drives. The arrangement was a square with the disk drives on one side, followed by the CPU, tape drives, and printer to close out the square. The tape drives had a sliding door to load/unload the tapes with a little tab at the bottom to grab for sliding. So the operator could just spin around and with a few steps do all the things operators do. Long setup, but I hope you have the picture of Covington in the center of all the hardware.As you would imagine, Covington was a whirling dervish as the operator and was a blur in motion. So, he was at the console, up pops a console msg to ready the tape drive. Immediately after that an intervention on the 1403 printer rang out. So JC pops up and moves like lightening to ready the tape drive, grab the tape door to slide it closed and proceeded to the printer to ready it. Unfortunately he did not unhook the printer door from his finger and the momentum launched the tape door into the 1403 printer glass.Quite a mess. Covington never said a word.

Charles Morgan5/21/2013

Remember working at 2828 Business Park, Building 'H'? Here's a photo of me in about 1995, in the corner office I had for 7 years, when I was working as a Senior Technical Advisor for Miley Ainsworth, in the Telecom Division of ITD.That office was diagonal from the break room, so I could see everyone who went for coffee or to watch the FXTV broadcasts on the TV stationed there. Having that office in such a strategic place was a great way to stay in touch with people, as I could keep up with everyone as they went for a break. Before Facebook we all had to stay in touch face-to-face!In those days, I used to try and display BZs on the wall, so I had a habit of framing them and hanging them up on the wall as you can see from the picture.

While I will not be leaving as a retiree (I turn 55 in Aug 2014), my husband Greg has his 'R' badge so he can still take advantage of FedEx Retiree discounts, etc. We are very thankful and excited to start our new phase in life - we have a sailboat currently in Mobile, AL and plan to head south and begin cruising full-time November-ish of this year (post-hurricane season). Destination Florida & Bahamas for winter & US East Coast next summer, and then who knows….?Anyway, I 'joined' the FedEx ITD Retiree Breakfast Club on FB, so if you see my request, this is why!
