Catchup

It's been mostly quiet, they've moved out of the '41 building but have yet to move the fiber rack/connections, servers, ect..

Meanwhile I received a call Monday from Lynette. Seems that there is this odd answering service at 1010 that needs to be moved to the new SBC Tower. Local techs scratch their collective heads and go "what is that!?" So the Big Boss says to 'em, "I have the solution, we'll give the job to Lynette and Mike." Lynette and I went out there this morning, it's a simple little thing after you remove the non-working equipment that was cluttering the picture and making it look worse than it was. Not a big job. Need double LAN drops at the three desks for the answering people to handle the extra connections. And they use a DSL connection (probably VPN over it) which needs to be set up new, ahead of time, as they do not do from/to outside moves of DSL circuits.

Other than that, just a matter of picking a move day, on a Saturday, hitting 1010 and disconnecting, allowing them to physically move their equipment, and reconnecting at the new location. Will have to spend a day or two the week prior to make sure the to space is ready to accomodate the equipment, verify cables, etc..

Move date is not 'til May. Note to self (since I'll forget) -- you left your notes rolled up and tucked between the 66 blocks on the client's server desk.
