Are you reading it to them over the phone like a bedtime story?
Not exactly....LOL That's a novel idea though!

On a conference call with consultants.

Found the first victim of the power outage the other day. Dell R210 II, found powered up, fans screaming, throwing codes on it's little screen thingy. No one seems to care enough to ask about it so I'll wait and see.

We had some crazy lightening at the beginning of the week here (now it's snowing). We must of gotten hit a night because our DC voltage thing for the old phone system is now pushing about half the amount of power as it should be. Thankfully this is the telcom's equipment and the only thing we use it for are the fire alarm systems.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure. It's one we keep the lights on and network for but don't manage directly. I'm 100% positive it's not backed up in any meaningful way. No one has cared enough to ask about it in almost 48h so it'll likely remain off until they do. I sent a FYI email to the relevant parties earlier, still no reply. If anything comes of it, we might get to bill out some hours for diag. Exactly zero concerned either way lol

@Minion-Queen Super jealous, I'd do that in a heart beat!!

Good Morning to all!
Today I will be moving to City no need to commute of 6 hours daily. -
Woah! most small business come no where near maxing 100mb to the desktop. I think people are confusing the improvements from better switches and more switching throughput with increase from going from 100mb to 1000mb. http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/913053-wow-gigabit-networking-is-a-big-improvement-for-microbusiness

@thecreativeone91 As someone at the breaking point of 100mbit, I sure as hell wouldn't be deploying it for anyone with gig so cheap. If you inherit some legacy junk, yeah, 100 will get you going at least. We run backups over it - this is where the pain begins.

Wouldn't deploy it. but attributing upgrading to gigabit everywhere improving the network is wrong. Server likely. but otherwise I'd say you just had bad switches.

@thecreativeone91 or some other horrific networking faux-pas. You're right, 100 gets the job done for clients still.

Trying to install spanDSP, here's hoping.

This kind of stuff is part of the reason I've been thinking about ditching IT and going to electrical engineering. Most companies don't understand IT nor do they care to. and a lot of IT folks don't either. It's this crazy madness of wrong solutions for most problems and not truly understanding what they are doing.

SAN vendors are hitting hard today... got three calls just this afternoon.
