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!

    I thought I had broken my MP3 player. Actually, at first I thought there was something wrong with the battery charger. I charged the batteries, put a fresh one in the Muvo and turned it on. It shut right off. I tried another battery, nope. I grabbed a regular AAA instead of the rechargeables, still…

    So I got here this morning, and our internet connection was still down. The nice folks at the phone company did get it working just before 9AM, approximately 20 hours or so after they did something to cause the problem to begin with. Now everyone can get back to online shopping, online banking, sending personal…
