So while contracting IT at Grand Valley this week, I had one of the most amusing conversations of all time. I had to call Bobby over in H95 about his ethernet connection. Apparently he was not able to get out to the internet while using his wireless access point. Obviously he is an idiot, as well as his roomate. Anyways, after I get himt o connect his laptop and plug it directly into the jack in the wall to get a connections, he feels the need to tell me that it still does not work and he has tried everything. By everything I suppose that did not include checking to see if he had an IP address, because I had to walk him through how to figure that out. Knowing that I have an IP blocked in the Ravines, I ask what his IP is to see if he is the person that is blocked to begin with, ignoring the fact that he would probably have a different IP without the AP plugged in. He starts to read off his IP, and low and behold it does not start with a 148.61.x.x, but while he is reading this I hear his roomate chime in, “don’t give him your IP he is just gonna fuck with you” hearing this I laughed and had him do a refresh and renew after unplugging and replugging the cable intot he wall and look at that he is out on the internet. Apparently this kid’s roommate (Dustin) doesn’t realize that because I have his friends name and phone number and hey, they told me what building as well ….. I guess they forgot that I could just physically cut access for them. Wouldn’t that be a shame.

Now I guess it is time for Family Guy over at the Dutch and German place.
