Cable Management

In my years of experience, seeing a sloppy server closet with wires hanging all over the place shows poor infrastructure maintenance. And a technician not concern on wire management alarms me. Cable management is a simple task to do on a daily basis. Not doing it properly or carelessly leaving wires hanging all over the place is an accident ready to happen.

When there is down time the company loses money, when money is lost in most cases it is never recovered. And a server being shut off because of a loose wire or being pulled is not proper cable management. 

As a Network Administrator you should be aware of your server closet and keep daily cables labeled and organized. Doing so will help you be better organized when problems occur.

Amazon Delivery Confirmation Solved

If your one of those consumers who always buy at Amazon and always wonder why you get those delivery confirmation from them with no package. Here is the mystery to the where's my package problem. 

It looks like carriers are being instructed from their superiors that after a specific time period they have to pull over and scan all your packages. Regardless if they have been delivered or not. It's an agreement among Amazon and the carrier to continue doing business. Not doing so by the carrier will eventually result in the carrier loosing business from Amazon. 

So what this means is that you will get a delivery confirmation from Amazon that your package was delivered, when in reality it's not or it's in transit.

Now it all makes sense and consumers have no choice but to adapt with the reality of package delivery service.
