Ugh, I hate that!

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!

    Sometime over the weekend, the number of people who subscribe to this blog using Bloglines hit 100. Now, I realize that isn’t a big total compared to some other places, however the significance of it, for me, is that is just about the same number of actual visits to the page on a daily basis….
