Not all it’s cracked up to be.

You know, staying home and resting seemed like a good idea, until I noticed that the currently-vacant house next door is having some rather loud repairs done to it, and every recorded-message telemarketing firm in existence has decided to call our house this afternoon! Grr!

Hopefully Jason remembers to bring the extra wireless access point that he decided he didn’t need with him when he stops by for dinner tonight. It’ll be nice to be able to sit with my laptop down in the living room, or out on the front porch every once in awhile. Hopefully getting it integrated with our current Ethernet network won’t be a big deal. It shouldn’t be, should just be a matter of patching it into the existing router after I assign it a different IP address than the router is using, but you never know what adding hardware to a network is really going to do. Anyone done this before and have some thoughts on what I should look out for? I probably won’t have time to really deal with it until we get back from the in-laws this weekend, (where I have a small list of PC troubleshooting projects waiting for me as well) but I’m looking forward to it!

    So did your office recognize Systems Administrator Appreciation Day? Unfortunately, some of our own IS folks didn’t know it was today until our network admin wished them a happy sysadmin day first thing this morning.

    Saw this story over at Just Another Geek’s blog about knowing a few minutes ahead of time that someone’s going to get fired and having to slide into their office and disconnect them from the network while they’re being fired in another office. I’ve had to do that, and it sucks. I work in a…
