10:17.32ChoHagDon't ask me why but I'm reading about snakes.
10:18.04ChoHagFemale garter snakes produce a sex-specific pheromone ... the formation of mating balls of up to 25 males per female.
10:18.15ChoHagThat's a wicked orgy.

10:53.05mindbenderalmost friday
11:02.41ChoHagI drift out a lot when my wife is talking to me.
11:03.00ChoHagI just spent 5 minutes on the phone and I have no idea what we talked about.
11:04.19bilarhpay attention, in my experience not paying attention comes back to bite you in the arse
11:15.18ChoHagI try, really. It's automatic.
11:15.55ChoHagWe'll be sitting around and I'll just suddenly realise that she's been speaking for long minutes and I've got no idea what she said or any recollection of stopping paying attention.
11:28.45wethrinoops
11:33.46ChoHagFools don't like my Chopin ringtone.
11:33.57ChoHagThey have no class.

11:35.20wethrinsounds like it'd be a welcome escape from your workplace
11:35.26ChoHagIndeed.
11:35.41ChoHagI've redoubled my jobserve efforts.

11:40.17bilarhchohag: seriously, you seem worse than me with changing jobs
11:40.23bilarhare you sure you're not doing sometning wrong?
11:40.26bilarhi do/did
11:40.35wethrinbilarh: Yeah, he's getting shit jobs
11:40.56bilarhthe solution is not to accept any old job "just to get out"
11:41.17bilarhbecause that will invariably leave a string of short jobs on your CV and it will look like you get fired all the time

12:35.48wethrin'ello dick_turpin
12:35.53wethrinyou should sell your Alphas on ebay
12:36.14dick_turpinToo much trouble and there's a glut of em
12:40.40dick_turpinService will be suspended at 1pm due to patch panel movement normal service will hopefully resume at 2pm we apologise for any inconvenience.
12:41.09wethrinhmm
12:41.14boudiccaswhats a 'patch panel movement' when its at home?
12:41.23wethrinThey're moving patch panels
12:41.36boudiccasbut whats a 'patch panel'?
12:41.44wethrinnormally, your ethernet point on the wall goes through various ducting, and connects into a patch panel
12:42.01boudiccasis it like cpanel on centos?
12:42.06boudiccasah right
12:42.10wethrinthe front of the panel has an RJ45 socket so you can connect network cable to a switch
12:42.46boudiccasnow you're getting technical which means you're losing me, but i'll try and keep up
12:42.48wethrinhttp://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00iaEQZOGFvtvp/24-Port-STP-Cat-5E-Patch-Panel-WT-2043-.jpg
12:43.04wethrinConnect cable from the front to a switch
12:43.25wethrinand from the connectors in the back, they go to a wall socket
12:43.31dick_turpinPlease remember to label your patch panel correctly
12:43.33wethrinfrom which you connect another cable to your computer
12:44.07boudiccasah right, i think
12:45.24boudiccasin that photo, what are ht ethings at the back? are they up/down switches?
12:45.47boudiccasor just lugs for some thing
12:46.02wethrinpunch-down connectors
12:46.15wethrinso the wires inside the ethernet cable get pushed onto them to make the connection
12:46.16boudiccasdown being on, and up being off?
12:46.19wethrinno
12:46.22boudiccasah right
12:46.24wethrinit's just an electrical connection
