Re: [AFMUG] sneaky sob...
Just a rat snake, I grabbed a shovel and flipped him over into the field. There are a couple of bald eagles nesting somewhere nearby (I see them in the field often), either he slithered off or became eagle poop.

This sneaky critter decided to drop into my hand hole while doing inspections for some upcoming fiber plant work. I opened the HH, went back to my van to grab my notebook, reached down to pick up the enclosure and didn’t notice the little bugger coiled up in the corner. Luckily for me he was cold enough that when he struck at my hand it was in slow motion and he only covered about half the distance to my hand before falling over.
Re: [AFMUG] Friday Funny (belated)
We had an older lady named Patricia that got married. She wanted to change her E-mail address to reflect her new last name of Burns…. Yep, pburns is what she wanted.. She called back a few weeks later and changed it. We finally forced all of our dialup users to a 256k/256k dsl service for the same price as they were paying for the dialup. We still have 4-5 grandfathered on the tier today.

Re: [AFMUG] Aerohive AP's
The other schools in the area have them. Like Mike stated none have had anything bad to say nor anything good to say. The district went to all chrome books and they are saturating their AP's (my guess from the symptoms he was describing). Unfortunately they use a consultant group for their E-Rate RFQ's and we can't talk to the school directly without our bid being rejected. Because the RFQ names those AP's I don't think we can bid any other products but the project as a whole is to re-wire a couple of buildings, move the infrastructure to Gige and place the AP's.
