Im so glad now I have customers who dont question me hiring a data company to do all the new runs and ordering quality cables.

I scored a case of plenum from last construction job at work. Been making my own for myself and co-workers

Of course I have been too lazy to actually change out what is already on the switches in the rack

I can do crossover, patch, and t1 all day without much struggle. Memorizing a 25 pair in different groups and then splitting them is a whole new territory for me.

Primary: white, red, black, yellow, violet
Secondary: blue, orange, green, brown, slate

And we are dealing with quad pairs. So 100 strands per setup. 4 lines per row. It's a mess. Got thrown right into the fire. An least white and black are easy enough for me. Hahaha

Why Run Backwards You'll Vomit ( white red black yellow violet).. just remember that blue and violet aren't in the same group). are the primary.. the rest secondary. Or hire a data company
.lol

That was about the only good thing about data cabling... keeping all the left overs.. I used to quote a lot more than needed just to be safe. Like 25% more..hehe

I call the wood one, customized.

The metal one is a cheap 25U I believe.

I just replaced 3 Esix servers with a nutanix appliance and a bunch of Cisco switches. I can probably make a good penny turning that stuff around to a cheap company..lol

Esxi host's chipsets approved for the 6.7 update?

bunk · 08-06-2018, 07:17 PM

Not sure what the 6.7 requirements are. Probably not as these machines are well over 10 yrs old..lol

madwi · 08-06-2018, 07:29 PM

Time to wander the halls and chat with the staff. Make it appear like I am here to help them out lol.

Just carry a stack of paper, walk around like you're concerned about something or looking for something.. while referring to the stack of papers ever now and then..

Quick nap before heading to arizona. Good evening all!

My mom died 24 years ago this month, pops is in demand and always had a girlfriend ever since, at one time he was juggling 3 at once

One in Florida, one up in northern Mich. & one by his house! It seemed like a lot of trouble to me, but whatever ......

We were at a memorial service once and I actually witnessed this woman try to give him her number

Clipboard and a stern look! I like to mess with them by jotting notes on my clipboard while sighing and shaking my head. When asked I say, I am sorry I am not able to talk about this audit, just yet.
When we got new APs I told all the staff they had cameras built in and live feed to the IT office.
