@VeriFoneSupport Is there an alternative to spending my day on hold?

@VeriFoneSupport I have a dozen other systems I need to be fixing. It's rediculous that they can't have someone call me when available.

@VeriFoneSupport I have case number 100701-10897 open for a PCCharge incident. My case has been escalated. I have been on hold forever...

@VerizonSupport She told me someone else now handles our account but gave me another number that's disconnected. Help!

@VerizonSupport I repeatedly called our account rep who wouldn't return my calls. Months later she finally answers when I call from cell.

@VerizonSupport We had a T-1 circuit that was disconnected in July 09. We continued to get billed for it and now it is in collections.

Cisco regex sure do come in handy: "show cdp neighbor detail | include (Device|address)"

@systems_eng101 I was an Aviation Elect tech in the Navy. I hated trying to dig the potting out of the backshell, LOL.

With metric-type E1, the metric adds the cost of each hop across the network. Doesn't that make more sense to use E1 vs E2 for the default?

Why does the Cisco command "default-information originate" default to metric-type E2? This gives routers many hops away a metric of 1.

Pulling out my hair over driver issues with a Windows 2008 64bit print server with Windows XP 32bit clients. Arggggghhhhh!

I'm back to working on upgrading Cisco Call Manager after putting that project on hold for a while.

I decided that python didn't quite fit they way my brain works. I had some C programming experience, so Perl feels more natural.
