That's how we ended up with all these fucking computers in the first place.

Kathleen, I wanted to do this in this most potentially embarassing way possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a quarter of a million strangers was as good a way as any. I love you more then I can describe within the limits of this tiny little story. We've been together for many years now, and I've known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my life with you. Enough rambling. Will you marry me? Update 15 minutes 30 seconds later: Subj: "Yes", message body: "Dork. You made me cry. :)" Hazah! I'm getting married! :)

I laughed out loud when I read this:

But, says Yazz, "Since the Cisco was rebooted there were no logs to look at."

You fell into the classic "Windows" trap.. this is what I tell the Jr. tech guys here when one of the servers goes wonky: "If it doesn't work, there is a reason; something is wrong. Rebooting will not fix the problem."

WTF!

Any halfway decent Network Ops (of which I'm in charge of one) have syslog servers for all their stuff. Often one uses som sort of smart agent checking thoses logs, like CiscoWorks or DFM. (Or handwritten in Perl, like for our firewall logs.)

BTW, 6509:s are pretty good stuff, we have a few here at The Big Hospital. And believe me, you don't wan't any network downtime here...can you say "dead people are cool"?
