Ut oh, some employees are going to be upset. HR director sent an email yesterday evening telling everyone the company would be open no matter what. When some of them showed up at 6am this morning there was a closed sign on the door.

I'm confused, IT help tickets of users not being able to logon to their computers in various locations around the plant this morning are rolling in.

Didn't have any trouble going in to my office this morning.

Friday sucked. Spent all day trying to get internet to work properly. DNS was all wonky. ISP blamed it on my registrar, Registrar blamed it on my ISP. When ISP finally sent a guy out it was working again within 10 minutes, yet he claims they didn't do anything. Yeah, right. Bet they remotely reset the tables on a router or two.

Friend of mine worked on a proposal several years ago to set up the pay per view on demand for the cable companies. He said it was really challenging because most of the internet was mapped. Meaning there existed an actual map of which router was connect to which routers that make up the internet UNTIL you got into the cable system. Says no one documented anything. The company hired young people fresh out of school, then let them go so there was no one to be accountable for what was connected where. Really shows up when they are troubleshoot problems like I had Friday. They had to send a guy to my physical address to log in and trace the route to my servers to find which routers to reset.
