long day...

well, my day is nearly done, but i am typing to you now from our newly upgraded network, with fancy gigamajig switches that make the 1's and 0's go even faster.

of course, most users will whine like the whiney twonks they are, but at least we can say with honesty, that things are a whole hell of a lot better than they used to be. even in SW, but they'll whine even more. they always do.

my part in all this was to replace cables and reboot servers, as well as move said cables from old hardware to the new hardware. it was actually a lot more time consuming than i expected it to be, but then i wanted to do it right. there was one blip when i goofed a cable (created that nasty loop thing) but i realized my mistake pretty quickly so there was no damage. i now have a brand new (just about) switch on my desk whirring away (as does RB) so i can now do all kinds of things. like...no clue. access my server at kick ass speeds. yeah. that's the ticket.

the good thing is the one thing that i wasn't looking forward to doing, i actually didn't, but DH and i are going to discuss a time to do it in the future. this needs a little time to allow the afore mentioned twonks clean out some of their mail which some people seem to have no idea how to do. i also discovered (much to my delight) that we weren't in as bad shape as i thought we were, so that helped clear the way for me not having to do it tonight. heh. i'll just be really glad when we get a brand new exchange server...

well, i'm getting tired and i wanna go home.
