Part of our network, the core of our London office is handled by a Cisco Catalyst switch, it quietly gets on with the job, but we don’t have any monitoring in place – we’ve never really needed it, when things goes wrong we can monitor on the commandline to see what’s going on temperature wise […]
The time has arrived when we almost have data to display. Two separate projects have somehow, without any planning, announced their intention to deliver content for our Kodi endpoints in the next few days.

A spokeswoman for New York’s Medical Examiner reported that he had hanged himself. No suicide note was found.
