Yes I work in tech support. I do a little of everything break fix, AD, Exchange 2010, IP telephony, network support, etc. I work for a company that makes sensors and sound monitors and microphones. We have facilities in NY, MI, NC, and Utah so I do need to visit the other offices from time to time. This trip I will be doing some hardware upgrades in the office and replacing a switched PDU in the server room, and helping my senior engineer with some phone controller updates.

Well hopefully you have redundant power in the servers were your replacing the PDU and hopefully all the PSU come back on line. If not you could be in for a long night

Have pulled the plug from a server only to have the PSU not come back, luckily they are hot swap.

Very true! Although lately I've started feeling like I'm "done" and want to move on to another car.

oh man lol stripes... I've gone so many ways with which stripes I want on my Camaro I'm confused as to what I like now.
I know I do not want stripes that go all the way down the car... too mustang, and I do not want those double side stripes on the front fender. looks like what Dodge use to do.

I believe they started on the corvettes way before Dodge did them but could be wrong. And thanks for dissing my stripes

haha I dunno if the corvette had them before or not, but you have a unique stripe kit going on. its has that transformer 2 bumble bee stripe kit with the side stripes. So it looks cool. the ones with only the side stripes on the front fenders make me think of Dodge.

I actually kinda like the stripes on one of the site banners. looks like this


and then add those thin stripes that go on the hood, where the center of the hood starts to go down? if I'm making sense lol.

It took me a while to decide on stripes (or in my case, stripe). But ultimately, I wanted to go with the same style as the SSX Camaro.



The hash marks were originally used on corvette's grand sport race cars in the 60's. Then they caught on as "stylish" with the public years later...

They do seem to somewhat be a dodge thing now, especially with dodge's use of them in their logo.

He has the NS-1 kit. Which was another style kit I considered.

That'll look good! The work involved in painting stripes on is another reason I went with the simple center stripe, lol.
