#2haha, talk about hard code debugging.
I think this post perfectly illustrates the major difference between "theory & practice".

Going to come across as mean, but this post illustrates the difference between a sysadmin and a network engineer that specializes in things like this (and why you should not be using dumb unmanaged switches in an enterprise environment).
Remove the stuff about wireless repeaters and pallets of shampoo and this is a basic l2 loop that should have taken 10 minutes to track down.

Thanks! That was one of the more kafka-esque debug stories. Going to reread it for old times sake and encourage anyone who hasn't to give it a look over.

i'm not old enough to know the context, and out of context this is pretty funny.
