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, 08:17 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, 08:29 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..

bunk · 08-06-2018, 08:43 PM

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.
