The long, long wait is over.  College football is here!  Its been a very long offseason for us Husker fans.  After last years debacle of a season we are eager to get this season started and put last season in the rear view mirror.  I’m not expecting a miracle season but I think a 7-5 […]

While some of us worked today, some of us didn’t.  Below are words from one of those that didn’t work (In chronological order).
“One hole in two beers down”
“Ohh I’m on the beach”
“Let the buzz begin”
“I’m hearing chickens”
“We are play my putting my ball we”
“I can see the hole but I can not feel it” 
“I couldn’t […]

Three posts in one night…I’m definately feeling spry tonight!  This post goes back to Friday and the expensive piece of equipment El Sidekick “popped smoke” on.  Really, it had nothing to do with him but he happened to be the bloke to flip the power switch.  Friday afternoon we went to configure our second LANenforcer […]

Better late than never, right?  We finally got around to adding some of our new Nevis Networks hardware into our environment today.  “Some” is a slight exaggeration.  We added one LANenforcer 2024.  Hey, that’s more than we added last week!  The process of configuring these things is really insanely simple.  We went through this a […]

When you’re a grown up, you get to enjoy beer.
Now you have it, when you’re in high school and college you have it.
But when you’re an adult you really get to enjoy it.
Lets’ say you work all day.  You’re on your way home.  You’re really tired.
But its that really good kind of tired, you know.  […]

And I thought we weren’t going to be part of the disaster recovery test on Friday.  Boy was I wrong!  In the early hours of Friday morning we had a hardware failure on the firewall for the link used for the VPN to the disaster recovery site for our mainframe (which was conducting a DR test […]

Wow…getting our LANsight Security Management Appliances upgraded has been less than easy.  Luckily El Sidekick considered this a normal upgrade for him. I can always count on him to find the good in most anything.  We did manage to get them upgraded to the 5.1 code tonight (just finished at 11:30 tonight) by stepping up […]
