Internet kills off oldest bookshop. Thanks to Garret at array for pointing to this story.
My employer is a company just outside of Boston. I work, remotely, from Austin, Texas. We are setting up our webserver at the Boston facility on a T1. We will be using Microsoft SMS so I can manage the webserver remotely from Austin. I was on conference call yesterday from 12:30 until 5:30 pm and today since 11:00 am and still counting (it's 3:00 pm) with our network manager, and microsoft. We still don't have it working. My head and my ears hurt, bad.
UPDATE: It's 3:07. We just took a lunch break. In case you were about to ask, no, it still doesn't work.
