Fresh New Circuits

We just got our new 3700 series Cisco router today. it will be used for our new 4.5 megabit internet connection we are getting for NYC. This replaces our 2 redundant T-1’s. this connection is basically 3 T-1’s plugged into 1 big router. less redundancy, but triple the bandwidth. We figured our corporate office can have some acceptable downtime. Since our uptime stats have been great on our current circuit it seemed like a good gamble. I hope that once this is done I can use my VOIP phone without getting terrible choppiness sometimes.

We hope the circuit goes live in about 1-2 weeks. Verizon will be out tomorrow (had to cancel for some reason today) to do the smartjacks. Like I always say, you cannot have enough bandwidth.

New Pillow

I have been having a huge problem sleeping recently. I think that it is part of the reason why I have been getting head ache’s but I cannot be 100%. I just know I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep. I decided a few days ago to try and get a new pillow. I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and picked up what you can call an ergromatic pillow. it form fits to your head when you lie down on it. It was not cheap. I don’t want to say how much I spent, but lets just say I hope this thing emits vallume to get me sleeping well for what I paid.

When I opened it up from its packaging, I got a little card that read “you may notice a “newness scent” when you remove this item from the package”. Basically this may smell, but just leave it out for a while and it will be fine. I thought that was the funniest thing I read all day. So I am following the directions and it is airing out now. I hope to sleep like a baby tonight!
