For nerds only
I was at Merritt on Friday, sitting at my desk trying to do something productive. I needed a little network hub so I could get internet on 3 computers at my desk. Of course, I couldn’t find any power adaptors for the one I had in mind, so I just stole a massive stackable switch. I think it had like 32 ports. I connected 4 computers.
I didn’t realize that it had a fan in it. I think this added to the amazing rush of overkill that I felt as I plugged in my $1000+ switch, with its 28 empty ports.
Art: What are you doing with that?
Me: I needed a switch, and I didn’t have a power adaptor for the little one
Art: You realize that’s our backup switch for [Insert major client here]
Me: No.
Anyway, it’s still under my desk, whirring away.
