Oy! Maybe my job does rock. Da Fluke network tester (a $6000 Gameboy wannabe) was broken today since someone took the lithium batteries out of it and neglected to put them back in the case. We had to test out the connection between floors 2&4, going through floor 3 in the process. So I tell da b0ss that the Network tester is dead… And I need to generate network traffic so I can see the stats on the switches and routers, make sure no packets are being killed prematurely. So he says “How much is that tester worth?”, I say “6K”. He says “Great!” He picks up his office phone, hits the global announcement bumon, and says “Floors Two, Three, and Four, our IT Admin requires that you generate network traffic for equipment testing. Grab Half Life off my network share, I’ll host”. He hangs up and says “Happy?”, I say “that works.” The rest of the afternoon was dedicated to a rather large Half Life MP game on Crossfire Log in to see images!
