[15:15] morning [15:18] was going to say afternoon but guess it's still morning for a bit [15:18] wheeee [15:22] rick_h: We don't need to know about your bathroom breaks. [15:22] Yeah, just a bit [15:23] rick_h: Ouch re: everyone hanging out on your mifi. ;) [15:23] als: fuck you Verizon. :) [15:25] lol... in years of reading wheeee... I NEVER thought about it that way. [15:25] thanks brousch__ [15:25] i'm ruined. [15:26] That's my specialty [15:27] brousch__: :P [15:27] 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] sure...then it's "how many people can use this thing?" text [15:27] heh [15:27] and then it's "thank you, 9 people using it for work today" [15:32] Doh [15:33] 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] At least it's not MS patch day [15:33] office is some 12 docs, plus assistants/etc. a bunch of people. Probably 40+people shut down :/ [15:34] A good test of part of their disaster recovery plan [15:36] cisco is never a good idea, IMO [15:37] well I'm surprised. Seems like you don't want to go cisco unless you've got cisco brains in house [15:37] and their IT guy is kind of an office person that knows enough tech to be dangerous [15:37] very true. [15:37] Yeah, cisco is annoying for the generalist IT guy [15:38] I played with it once and it's a whole OS that you have to learn. [15:38] 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] cisco ios isn't that bad [15:38] its pretty easy to read the docs and do stuff [15:38] 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] the annoying part is licensing restrictions and some hardware can't do certain features of teh OS [15:38] The fact that you need to read docs sucks [15:38] heh, yea [15:38] or can't do it unless you buy an expensive license and isntall the license on teh ahrdware. [15:39] 40 people is a router and a switch [15:39] I love reading docs and making things work. *shrug* [15:42] 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. [15:45] 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] It can go both ways. === ColonelPanic001 is now known as Chicken === Chicken is now known as ColonelPanic001
