A writer for a large computer networking magazine has been working with a few people here for the past few weeks in our network lab doing some evaluations of different network products. This benefits both us, and him. He gets to use our fairly sophisticated lab, and we get to evaluate products that we might be interested in using without having to go through the vendors ourselves. One of those devices happens to be a network security device that I’d been interested in testing myself for quite some time.
Stay with me, this won’t get gratuitously techie, I promise.
I had previously mentioned to the writer that I’d be very interested in working with him on the evaluation of this particular product, and so one of the other guys in the office called me today to let me know that they were in the lab and might begin the testing soon on that device.
When I got to the lab, however, I was informed that we weren’t going to be able to do any testing as the company had sent us one set of passwords for their software, but not the actual username and password to login to the machine. I glanced down at the machine in question and saw a familiar label on it. It was a distributer we frequently order from.
I sat down at the keyboard, popped a couple ‘o keys, and on my third try I was able to log into the administrator account of the machine. … it feels good to be a gansta.
Did you mean to spell it Matirx or was it a typo?

This phrase, this “Stay with me, this won’t get gratuitously techie, I promise.” was definately well placed. I had waning interest and scrolled down to do a length check right when I saw it. It was beautiful… masterful… perfect in time and space. It got the job done, so I am going to go read the rest of Jordan’s post now.
