The design of Labs 5-7 brought back a memory of a time when I completely failed, but had the trust of management to push forward.

I was telling this story the other day, and I figured it would also make a good post. The gist is "your corporate network is not your lab."

I want to talk about what happened at a sprint review at Ramen Inc. a few months back, as it is one of the things that I like most about the company.
We have development sprints where we discuss the product, the roadmap, direction - all of the pieces of a growing technology company.

In my last post, 15, I discussed the consolidation of the SSIDs and how only half of the students were using the secure network.
How did I force the students at my University to move to the secure SSID?

As part of our summer of consolidation, we also added a new secure and guest SSID without a special character. This is not something you can do on the fly, as it does require some planning. Here's how we went about doing it:

In post 8 I talked about the need to consolidate three different WiFi systems on campus. I wanted to dig a little bit more in the methodology around that.
Often in Higher Ed there is only one time to make large-scale changes and that is when

I had someone ask me the other day, "why are you writing about all this stuff?"
This whole process has been helpful to get my thoughts together for the keynote at the inaugural KC NUG event next Thursday, 4/10.
