Mr. Bump on Feb 13th, 2008So relevant its scary…
Over at CIO.com is an article about the productivity gap between mid-market and large IT shops that hits so close to home its nothing short of scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah…you’re probably wondering why in the heck would this clown be reading CIO.com? To which I say: a boy can dream! I […]
Mr. Bump on Oct 4th, 2007The Numbers Game
Late this afternoon we increased the number of users going through the LANenforcer 2024 by 60%. That’s a significant increase. However, with only five users going through the LANenforcer 2024 that 60% equates to an increase of three users. We currently have three switches in-line through the LANenforcer 2024 with a total of 8 users, […]
Mr. Bump on Sep 26th, 2007Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
Today I attempted to do some knowledge transfer about the LANenforcer 2024 and the LANsight Security Management Appliance. I’m not exactly sure how much knowledge was actually transferred though!

Any publicity for this site is more than welcome. I received another […]
Mr. Bump on Sep 21st, 2007Ending the week with a bang
Where to begin? This has been a crazy day for me. I guess it only makes sense to start with an update on the possible bug I wrote about in the previous two posts. The word “possible” can be eliminated. It was in fact a bug. I can’t stress enough that this was beta code […]
Mr. Bump on Sep 20th, 2007First call to support
We had to make our first call to Nevis Networks support today for the possible bug I wrote about last night. I placed the original call at 8:51 AM and left a message. I received a call back exactly 10 minutes later at 9:01 AM. Tough to complain about a 10 minute turn around. We […]
