| cmaloney | morning | 15:15 |
|---|---|---|
| rick_h | was going to say afternoon but guess it's still morning for a bit | 15:18 |
| rick_h | wheeee | 15:18 |
| brousch__ | rick_h: We don't need to know about your bathroom breaks. | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, just a bit | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Ouch re: everyone hanging out on your mifi. ;) | 15:23 |
| cmaloney | als: fuck you Verizon. :) | 15:23 |
| jrwren | lol... in years of reading wheeee... I NEVER thought about it that way. | 15:25 |
| jrwren | thanks brousch__ | 15:25 |
| jrwren | i'm ruined. | 15:25 |
| brousch__ | That's my specialty | 15:26 |
| rick_h | brousch__: :P | 15:27 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: yea, my wife gets to work and calls on her way back home this morning "the internet is out can I take the mifi" | 15:27 |
| rick_h | sure...then it's "how many people can use this thing?" text | 15:27 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:27 |
| rick_h | and then it's "thank you, 9 people using it for work today" | 15:27 |
| brousch__ | Doh | 15:32 |
| rick_h | what's funny is I guess a cisco router died and the new one is a different version of their OS so they need a support person to help with it so it's going to be out a long time | 15:33 |
| brousch__ | At least it's not MS patch day | 15:33 |
| rick_h | office is some 12 docs, plus assistants/etc. a bunch of people. Probably 40+people shut down :/ | 15:33 |
| brousch__ | A good test of part of their disaster recovery plan | 15:34 |
| jrwren | cisco is never a good idea, IMO | 15:36 |
| rick_h | well I'm surprised. Seems like you don't want to go cisco unless you've got cisco brains in house | 15:37 |
| rick_h | and their IT guy is kind of an office person that knows enough tech to be dangerous | 15:37 |
| jrwren | very true. | 15:37 |
| brousch__ | Yeah, cisco is annoying for the generalist IT guy | 15:37 |
| rick_h | I played with it once and it's a whole OS that you have to learn. | 15:38 |
| jrwren | that is why you outsource that stuff to a cisco certified shop. Then it is an OK idea. A kind of necessary evil. | 15:38 |
| jrwren | cisco ios isn't that bad | 15:38 |
| jrwren | its pretty easy to read the docs and do stuff | 15:38 |
| rick_h | but it's different enough that doing anything on the fly (like when stuff goes boom) isn't going to be quick/easy | 15:38 |
| jrwren | the annoying part is licensing restrictions and some hardware can't do certain features of teh OS | 15:38 |
| brousch__ | The fact that you need to read docs sucks | 15:38 |
| rick_h | heh, yea | 15:38 |
| jrwren | or can't do it unless you buy an expensive license and isntall the license on teh ahrdware. | 15:38 |
| brousch__ | 40 people is a router and a switch | 15:39 |
| jrwren | I love reading docs and making things work. *shrug* | 15:39 |
| brousch__ | A small shop like that doesn't gain anything by going cisco. They end up with an overly complicated piece of equipment and a dependence on outside contracting to do anything with it. | 15:42 |
| jrwren | or... they DO gain things, because the network needs for that business are just complex enough that their little IT guy can't manage it. | 15:45 |
| jrwren | It can go both ways. | 15:45 |
