I need to stop doing late nights… Another night of going to bed after midnight. And this time I did not wake up after 7:00AM unfortunately. And it was not as if I was either relaxing or doing any of my own work either. Initially I was giving a friend a hand with some of his work… Doing a tiny bit of research into a problem that I had seen solved before… And then I did some work for improving procedures at the local pre-school. Neither of which were particularly successful last night. AS of this morning… Well, I have some solutions for my friend at least.

I just saw an article on Harvard’s Internal Network. I did not realise that harvard would have 120,000 users and 250,000 IP addresses in use. That is a LOT. Then again they have a medical school and a hospital system and the like. And over 1000 buildings. And managing this network seems to be a well automated task for a large number of people… Guess that is the way the world is moving… This network is larger than most companies in Australia. In fact there would be only maybe the NSW government or the federal government who would approach that size…
