  • Twisted Pair Ethernet Connectors

    I’m doing an expansion of the editing systems where I work, including setting up and entire new separate LAN for the metadata traffic for the new Xsan.

Wish I’d figured that out two days ago. 😛

    Reflected in faces
    On the edge of their seats

Nothing much happening this night, so we grabbed some grub, […]
