Yep. I still recognize and use it.

Also the ID-10T error.
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

More than once, I've said that we can dramatically improve throughput, performance, stability, and security if we don't allow anyone to access the network.

I always heard it the other way.
Layer 8: Users
Layer 9: Politics

New frustration. Customers canceling scheduled work less than 24 hours prior. Important enough customer that I can't even bill them for not enough notice. Just get to suck it up. Oh, well. More time for me to plan and test.

Between a canceled meeting and a meeting that drags on without the right participants to make a decision - effectively meaning we have to have the meeting again - I prefer the canceled meeting. Still a frustration, but at least we don't have to endure it all twice.

80/20 Rule.. 20% of the people do 80% of the work.

I had never heard it put that way until yesterday.

It usually is that way. And if that 20% leaves and gets hired with 80% material, then it's a recipe for 100% trainwreck IT within a few weeks.

I am 40 minutes into a 3-hour call for upgrade support.

We are at 30% file copy of a 3GB file.

Suddenly, both customers drop off the call. I try to email them, no response. I try to email their manager, no response.

That was 20 minutes ago.

And as I type this, the customer *just* reconnected. :rofl:

He's back and now we're finding that some networking ace decided it would be a good idea to block access from our main appliance to about half the child appliances. Whether it was a routing table mistake or a firewall mistake, I don't know yet.

UPDATE: It's a sad day for security guys everywhere.

It *was* the firewall.

The same guys who had to request password resets on our IDS/IPS three times because nobody could seem to write down a password sent new devices to replace our old hardware. In the email they said the password is
Code Select

example* OR example!


Or ??? What do you mean Or?

Neither one of the passwords work.
