  • why doesn’t twitbin save my username and password? #
  • What happens when the cisco serial number on the outside of the switch is wrong? #

Windows Server 2008 screencast - NAP VLANs with a Cisco Switch

i’ll have to check this out tomorrow, but i think it requires vista on the desktop.

Michael Kleef has been doing some incredible demonstrations down in Australia and New Zealand.  I’d like to watch them in person, but it’s pretty far from Texas.  But you and I can see him in action because like many of us, he’s doing screencasts directly off his blog.  He calls them blogcasts.  Must be an Aussie thing.  Grin. 

Anyway, the one that caught my eye this evening is the one he recorded on NAP VLANs.  Check it out at:

Bad Day

This is more whining that a rant.

I’m at my end, our final remote site was put onto the new cisco VOIP system wednesday night. Both Scott and Dan where in Hart pretty much Tuesday-Thursday. I stayed in GH and dealt with most of the other issues. Including another remote site that lose the ability to make ouside calls. Since everything at the site was working, I figured it was the provider. It took them 2 days to get someone to test it onesite, but they said everything was fine. We decided to reboot the router, just to try and it seem to “fix” the problem. But in the mean time, the site that went live Wenesday night want was working great on Thursday lost their ability to make calls today. We tried rebooting their router and we though it “fix” the issue. But we didn’t test incoming calls to them which is still not working!!! I feel SO useless right now. I haven’ t been involved in the network details of this project and so I don’t even know the IP addresses of most of the equipment or how things where configured. Plus other than the tech onsite for most of our Implantmentation, the company we used has been useless. They have their main VOIP guy so busy he can’t even follow up on problems after the go live day.

ARRRGGGG, sorry I just had to complain.

Eating out.

Here’s some sites to help you save some money when you eat out.


Restaurant.com - Helps me save $20 if the restaurant participates (less than $5 for a $25 gift cert with discount codes and fatcash). See my previous post here for more information.

Opentable.com - For making reservations. I’ve used this site countless of times and I highly recommend it. On top of saving your time, there is a reward points program that allows you to save extra money (sometimes $10) if you show up to your reservations.

Menupages.com - Great site for taking a glimpse at the menu before you dine. Also great for ordering delivery from places you have never been to! Most restaurants in NYC seem to be listed here, and they recently just expanded to cover San Francisco and Boston. Has helpful reviews too.

Citysearch.com and Gayot.com - both review sites that help me decide if a restaurant is worth trying out or not. On top of that, they both integrate with Opentable.com.

I hope that helps. While some of those sites only apply to Manhattan, restaurant.com and opentable.com both work nationwide. I highly recommend them both. I was even able to use opentable.com when I was traveling over the winter holidays in Vancouver!

Are there any other sites that you would recommend?

Palm and Verizon to unveil Treo 700w on Monday

I know more than a few people at work that will be calling verizon for this phone. Even though my boss has the 600 and hates it. He complains the phone part of the device doesn’t work well at all. I’ve heard the same thing from my Dell rep, that the phone part on his 650 sucks.

Hopefully due in no small part to our exclusive first
look
, Palm, Verizon, and Microsoft will be holding a joint press conference on Monday; we can only presume it’s to
(officially) announce the new Windows Mobile-powered
Treo 700w. If our pic gallery wasn’t
enough to satisfy your Treo-jones, you still have the whole weekend to Photoshop some press credentials and book a
flight over to San Francisco. The fun begins at 9 A.M. in the Twin Peaks conference room at the Palace Hotel.

Cisco uptime

Our Cisco 4006 Switch has been up for 876 Days!!
We where just reviewing our IOS versions and noticed that the switch had been up that long.
It’s nice having multiple power supplies, different UPS’s and a generator to keep your network online.

Cisco has a hart, but I don’t.

This is funny. I understand the reason, but it just sounds so odd.

Cisco has announced that they’re giving a $2.5 million grant and equipment to a small non-profit organization that helps give voice mail boxes to the homeless. At first glance, this may seem like a silly idea - since you would think they have more important things to worry about then how people will reach them. However, it is increasingly becoming a necessary tool if you’re going to get a job. The employer needs to be able to reach you, and without a home or a phone, it’s not easy for them to do so.
