I hope you had a good Memorial Day.  Do you remember what Memorial Day is for?  And how it’s different from Veteran’s Day?  Good, I knew you did.

Cabling update

In the beginning, there was a cabling project, phase 1, with a before picture of spaghetti sneeze.  Then there was a phase 2, with a before picture that took where the last one left off.  This brings us to Phase 3.

Behold the new after pictures

Many thanks go our our new temp Alex, who pulled an all-nighter or two to help me out with this project.  Of course, yesterday during the Memorial Day holiday, one of the switches failed, meaning many of those yellow cables needed to be restrung to other switches with no thought as to aesthetics.  At least the new switch will be here tomorrow so I can re-set those cables.

Next project?  This server rack:

This week’s major project at work is recabling one of our communication rooms.  I got to work pretty early today (before 5am) and just took my first break, and I have a good 5-6 hours planned tonight since a lot of the cabling changes either have to be done after hours, or they require a special maintenance window for the items connected to those cables.

Here’s my original “before” picture:

I’m hoping to have a good “after” picture by end of week.

Wish me luck!
