What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Had a weird one yesterday. Main fibre went down at one of our sites. But the backup router (On ADSL) didn't kick in. So went to site.
Found the router was plugged in but the port on the HP switch was not showing lights. Checked the config gui and saw the port disabled. But wouldn't let me re-enable. So changed the port and the lights flashed and then off, again checked the gui and that port is now disabled??
So as a test plugged my laptop and router into a separate switch and i could ping the router fine. plugged a patch between this switch and the main one and boom no connection to the main switch??

Something with Spanning Tree Protocol is blocking the port perhaps?

yep, my first thought as I was reading it.

back working on site from this week, don't like it, don't like it all.
because you like working from home better? or because virus is running rampant there?
i much prefer working from home, more comfortable, better lighting, better seating, cleaner, less disruptive.
I like working from home better too, overall... But there's one thing that is a disadvantage. My office was busy before all this covid crap happened. For the last 7 months, it has been nothing but managed chaos with the amount of @&*#$)&@#$ we've had going on.

Just back from the walk.

Yeah. There comes a time when you need to go into conservation mode and begin to protect yourself, I don't mean literally, I mean, just come to the realisation that it may not be possible to complete all the work that needs to be done, realise that it may be time to stop the 10 hours days, as there is so much work that all you can see in the future is 10 hour days.

Hmmmmm, not blocked for other users......
Looked in his personal block list, and what do I find?"I removed it from his personal block list that he manually added. Try again."
The thing I find more interesting is - who is acting as a go between? I hope it's the helpdesk, otherwise, why can't the user contact you directly?
Local IT.
aka Helpdesk for the remote location, not our Corporate helpdesk.

Great comic. I read it weekly.
I catch it every update. I only read 3-4 regularly. My daily list used to be larger but they've either ceased, like Schlock Mercenary, or I've lost the bookmarks over time/pc upgrades. These days, it's Goblins, Devil's Panties, Grrl Power, and Questionable content. I think my list used to be around 15 at one point.

Just went for a short morning walk.

I just started GrrlPower -- thanks for the recommendation whoever posted it, lol. But I also have read QC as well. I need to catch up on that one, for sure.

Our little puppy, Clive, was finally big enough to sleep in the bed last night. He's still tiny, but big enough to not get rolled over on now. He's a much happier dog today now that he had snuggles all night.
