  • The ultimate geekdom response..

    I was brought into an email chain because one of my users was having issues with the WiFi in our office (the WiFi is as temperamental as a spoiled 4 year old child).

    Here is one of the emails from tech support:

    The issue is that the WiFi here is hit or miss – it can work for some people and not for others. Cisco has some very odd protocols set up with wireless routers like this one. If several people try to connect within a certain amount of time – it might lock them out considering it is a hack attack.

    But – it may only lock some people out and not others, it can lock out all attempts to connect, or it can disconnect everyone who is connected. It is extremely erratic - you’d have a better chance of figuring out if Schrödinger’s cat is alive or not (or both).

    Oh, brilliant

    I have a shirt that says "S's cat is dead" on one side and "S's cat is not dead" on the other side. People always stop me asking whose cat died

            My grandfather named his cat "Vengase" (Ven Gah Say) It means "Come Here" in Spanish. Now imagine an elderly man in East LA shouting "Vengase" at night when looking for his cat. Makes you wonder how many people tried to find him

                      Mine are called The Stig (A large pure white tom) and TG (A slender tabby)

                      Do i get extra geek points for knowing that TopGear Dog's name is almost always shortened to TG for ease?

                        Am I the only one who has actually named a pet geekly here? My cat's name is Alan (for Turing)

                          My last cat was named Dirk "The Daring" Gently.

                          And my family has had two Russian blues. The first was named Zane, and the second was Dorian. We had another cat named Rocky, then a younger cat who had the same markings was named Rocky II.

                            I named mine Fenris. Solid black cat with bright yellow eyes. Classic halloween cat. Then, of couse, she turns out to have the sweetest disposition of any cat I know.

                              Ours is a former farm cat named King Tut. We renamed him Pumpkin for his white-and-orange markings and (somewhat) turned him into a house cat.
