RE: Re: ISDN TA to HH Wallport

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

*chuckle* The idea was more "I'm waiting for the switcher before I do
anything" than a serious "I can't make up my mind on
colours" comment.

Ultimately since I'll be making my own cables to length as much as possible
I'll just get a roll of CAT5e stranded and make 'em all up the same colour
-
can't really justify (or store) multiple reels of different coloured CAT5!
(Especially at the moment!)

By the way ... I am anal enough to keep a patch list up to date. Only this
morning I went through and rechecked my X10 house/unit codes allocation
spreadsheet correcting a few modules that I'd installed on housecode
"P" (my
"test and development" housecode) and moved them to their correct
housecodes
for the room that they're in. I also updated my internal IP address
allocations list as I've been ripping all my network apart for the last
couple of days and rebuilding / reinstalling machines. Who says I don't
lead
an exciting life?
