Mystery Light

A light showed up on my speedometer on my drive home tonight. I pulled over to look up what it meant and apparently I need to check my brakes.

Annoying.

La Fonda’s Sports Cantina, Eagan, MN

Out here with Jeff and some of his friends for his birthday. This location may be a top spot for overhearing shop talk about the Northwest Airlines strike. (NWA is based in Eagan) Either way, I bought a round of Jägermeister and everyone passed the shots up except for Jeff and I. So we enjoyed them. Happy birthday Jeff!

Further Netgear Woes

After my problems with Netgear I posted about a week and a half ago I essentially got confirmation that the level 2 support guy I spoke with was a moron. Thanks to my vendor First Tech, I was able to get in touch directly with a Senior Support Engineer who will be working with a Switch Engineer on the issues with my switch. This is after a tech from First Tech came out (at their expense) to check to make sure I had everything configured properly. The tech also made a few suggestions which, while good ideas, didn’t change the problem.

Now Netgear seems pretty concerned and wants to figure out what is going on.

Even though I don’t really want to spend much more time on this switch, I am providing them with a bunch of logs and even a large sample of packets from our network. Before I send it off I am going to filter out packets that may contain passwords or proprietary information. They are mainly interested in broadcast traffic anyway. Boring.

Traffic Violation

I get pulled over on University just west of Fairview doing 45 in a 30. He gave me a ticket for “40 in a 30″ asking “Is that fine?” I said, “Well.” He replied saying, “You’ll take what you can get, huh?”

Almost a $120 ticket.

Blah.

Old Chicago, Roseville, MN

So Amy’s ex-roommate Jen works at Old Chicago. Amy and her roommates, along with I go out to enjoy some pizza and beer. Amy’s never met any of my friends yet so what do I do? I bring the most obnoxious drunk fucker I know: Bill. Bill brings Kim, naturally. Well… long story short, Amy and her roommates left an hour before we did.
