Ugh, I hate that!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I hate it when there’s a conference room full of people, one of our folks is all ready to do a presentation using our website and suddenly, for no obvious reason, the network port in there just seems to die. Luckily I have a 100 foot Ethernet cable so I just ran the connection over to the next room and put them back in business, but at some point I’m going to have to figure out why that port stopped responding all of the sudden. Here’s hoping it a bad port on the switch, which I can route around, and not something “in the walls”, which gets a tad more complicated, especially since we don’t have those fake floors and ceilings. The cabling is, literally, in the walls!

    Specifically, let’s talk about work hours and home hours. Much is being made about this article, which quotes a new study that says that people with home internet access wind up spending more time working from home than they waste surfing at work. It raises some interesting points. Here, we understand that there is occasionally…
