It seems pretty quiet here today. Everyone all right?
It's Monday morning here on the Left Coast of Canada. Just arrived at work, and digging myself out of a weekend's worth of trouble tickets.

Lot of problems over the weekend for work. Lot of network issues. Have to stay on top of stuff so the blame doesn't default to you.

Lunchtime Tuesday here and just checking in... gotta love weekdays :)
I find it easiest to blame whoever isn't at work at the time. Saves all those pesky counter-arguments :)

Home from work. Would normally be headed to the track now, but I'm
still recovering from my hip flexor injury and am prioritising fire brigade training, with the state championships less than 2 weeks away,
so I'm home for a couple of hours, before going out to train (but not overdo it ;) ).
Ended up having to reschedule my vacation and take a red-eye back to
work to calm the storm. I'd like to say that's why they were paying me
the big bucks, 'cept they weren't.

And last night's training went very well, got up to 80% of top speed without any issues. :)
Yeah, that sucks. Seems to be something about working in the IT industry.

One year I was two days in to my annual vacation, relaxing nearly five hundred miles from work, when I got a call from my manager. Seems the network onsite where I was working had gone down, taking the executive VP's secretary's computer, and all her work, with it. All hell broke loose. Never mind that the site had its own internal staff to handle
the network; since desktop installs and support were my team's responsibility, the secretary was adamant that, since I had personally installed her machine, it was all my fault.

Good idea.. it's a juggling act I'm sure but some lighter days now will pay off for comps coming up. So you get my vote :)

Rest is good. Watch three episodes of Home and Away and call me in the morning ;-p
Yep, so far, I'm on track to be 100% for these state level comps coming up, and in late April, I'm seriously considering competing in the Australian Masters championships. :)
Ewwwwwww.
I ended up walking 11km today. Guess that's active recovery. :D

Well pace yourself. I think you could do that if you chose to. My worry
is that you might over extend yourself... so go gently good sir.

More than me (I think?) actually I don't know... Hmm..I checked my
fitness tracker just under 6k today so you did well... compared to my little efforts.

That's one of those work storys from hell... yipes!
Here we have things called 'Friday Bombs' where the comms team that
sits next to the team I work in has to deal with some major
communications issue / calamity that befalls my organization or one of
our staff on a Friday afternoon usually around 3pm..

I alluded in a previous response - situations that I've seen like this usually revolve around management that doesn't back up their people.
Where was your boss when this happened?
That plugged both ports on the phone into the network and created a spanning-tree loop, which brought the network down. The network team
blamed the telecom team, the telecom team blamed the network team, and my team had the office knowledge to know who was visiting and could locate
the offending phone before the teams could set politics aside and work
the problem.
I will, too much at stake in the next couple of months. :)
BPDU guard is your friend. That would have prevented the issue. I can't tell you how many times people have done that on our network. That will put the port in error-disable and prevent the loop.
Yeah, it's funny NOW. You wanna tell me how to explain File-Save to a
corp veep secy without letting her in on the secret that all her lost
work was HER fault?
Man, I hate Fridat @3PM issues... especially the critical ones that
needs to be fixed right now. It's like you're almost ready for the
weekend and someone comes up to you or a call, E-Mail, or IM comes in: "Hey, we just found this issue, could you fix it? It's urgent."
You do it via Skype right? Saves getting hit by the cup flying in your

There is also the issue of a vender connecting a router or server
running DHCP on the network. Rouge DHCP is fun too, but can be
prevented by enabling ip dhcp snooping - and only trusting the ports
that have real DHCP servers.
Vk3jed wrote to Weatherman <=-
Haha yep I remember a few rogue DHCP incidents, like the time we took
down the post office's network.
And now I've just entered the Australian Masters nationals. :D

Back when Windows 95 was in development, the early Chicago builds had
all sorts of things that didn't make it into the release, like Netware File Services - a Chicago box could act like a Netware server, and if
you didn't enter the existing network number, clients would oftentimes connect to it instead of the production network.
When I chastised the engineer who broke our office network, his
response was "Well, it should be intelligent enough to not break...".
Not an iota of remorse.
I locked his port at 10mbps, half duplex.

This was back in the mid-90s in a mostly Mac shop. Remember After Dark? The "Flying Toasters" screeen saver?
The cool kids had Newtons, and they'd use Appletalk to connect to printers, shares, etc over our network. There was a sort of hub and
spoke arrangement, and one of the spokes included all of the printers. Guess where the primmadonna's ports were located?
... What do you think management's real interests are?
