This was my (and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
frenchiephish and non-LJ using co-worker)'s day. You can see my leg in the left of this photo plodding away at a serial console to the switches.
We got in at 10ish, started unpatching everything, then untangled everything. We all went to lunch between 12:30 and 1:30, and then I piked out at 5:30ish, when most of it was plugged in and up and going.
Yes, this is the hard way, but we needed to move some switches to install a redundant core for this building, and if we were going to that, we may as well make it neat, because, you know, we're Arts. Click the link to check out the before and after photos too.
I also left in the middle to answer a request to buy an iMac for my grandma ($1250 from Digilife Mt Hawthorne for 20 inch/2ghz/1Gb/250Gb!), which we're setting up tomorrow (and she is paying me back for it, I'm not /that/ nice).
