I thought this post was going to be about networking wiring problems.

I'm doing hurricane prep today. I'm installing the UPS's for the TV, phone and hopefully, cable and wireless network.

Next, I'm upacking the generator and firing it up for it's test run. Tomorrow I'll be putting up the plywood on strategic windows. We're in Northwest Houston and I expect we'll be OK, but they are predicting hurricane force winds even 70-80 miles inland.

The good news: Houston is much better prepared. The evacuation is occuring and appears to be orderly. And it looks like _we_ are the planned emergancy shelter for several friends. It may be a bit crowded.

I was thinking, why hasn't everyone gone wireless by now?

Have like a mile of CAT 5 leftover.

Fiber is the new CAT5

As they say, everything is bigger in TX. Not a good thing in this case... "Houston, we have a problem"

Last time I used cat 5 was wiring up a classroom for Net Day '96!

Good luck to you Texas gulf folks. All the FEMA pronouncements today sound as if Chertoff and the new FEMA guy are really on top of things.

It's gotta be pretty weird for the NO evacuees in Houston, right now... deja vu all over again

A whole bunch of them were on TV last night, complaining that we were only trying to get rid of them.

Funny thing, I think it's working...

One word... latency. Nothing beats the rapid response of a hardwire connection, say for gaming, or moving data. Wireless also degrades based upon your environment, copper and fiber give the same speed unless a rat chews through it!

Red, come up to Dallas. It shouldn't hit us. Should it?
