Recent Happenings
It has been a whirlwind. Things around here just haven’t stopped lately. Between the phone system move, data center stuff, the christmas production and closing up end of the year things there hasn’t been a dull moment and the days have been long. Here is a snapshot of things happening.
As you may have seen on Jason’s blog we recieved our new racks and promptly starting filling them up. First with the move of the phone system.
While the phone guys were working their fingers off, we decided to start moving what other equipment we could.
Once we got the core switch(HP 5406zl) in and wired up the phone guys were ready to move our T-1. (Note: Rememer when VLANing that switch port numbers do not increase linearly)
We got the T-1 and our firewall and VPN moved all at the same time and wired up and ready to go.
When we ordered our battery backup from APC This is not at all like I expected.
The phone guys were then able to proceed through each extension and getting it punched down in the new rack. Looks much neater now.
Once the phone guys had finished, I took a moment to examine the cable they had removed from our previous location.
With all this excitement stress levels can run high, Jason came to the rescue with a great Christmas gift. R/C Helicopters!
Once we had relieved our stress with some pilot action, I was on my way to a rehearsal for our Christmas production and noticed that our lobby was now a park…with an ice rink!
And to end things out we had finagled a couple pans of brownies out of some co-workers but our second pan must have been rushed out of the oven because it was not finished. This is Jason spreading the middle like butter. There are however some who think this is how brownies should be…those people are wrong.
Things have definitely been crazy round here lately, but the mood is good. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this is shaping up to be a good one.
