Datacenter Outage….
Final Google Plus repost…. (for now)
Spent 20 minutes tonight after putting Isaac to bed moving around the cable modem. It is now living in the ‘datacenter’ or what is otherwise known as the laundry room. Rosie was off learning how to-do something crazy in the snow this winter at REI, so it was a prefect time to take a 20 minute outage at the Richards house. We take our Internet connectivity very seriously. The good news is that everything just came back up and the signal to the headend unit is actually better now. (Which makes sense, about 40 feet less coax is involved)
That left just enough time to design the inter-connects for the dv-node adaptor. Now that the dv-node adaptor is inside the repeater PC case, I need to run the connection out to a 6pin DIN header and then make a 6pin DIN to weird molex connector cable. (Thanks to Jeremy for the 6pin bulk head connectors) I’ve found that actually writing down how it is all going together, including a wire color chart, before making the cable saves lots of head aches. Plus, I then have a record to refer to later if something breaks.
