Hardware Rant of the Day

Another fun day in colo-land. Todays hardware rant (apart from the keyboard with a non-functioning space-bar - how much use is that?) is the people at Intel who designed a server with 1 serial port (RJ-45) which for some reason they made COM2 and not COM1 as you would expect. Of course, I only discover this after trying several different cables (including one I crimped myself). Argh.

OK, that's enough lynx posted LJ for one day. Time to go home...
