Thank You, Comcast

by Nicholas Piasecki on November 10th, 2009

There is nothing quite like dashing to work at night to restart the “SMC Comcast Business IP Gateway” because it stopped routing packets for one of our static IP addresses.

The reason? Oh, it just does that sort of thing every 25 days or so.

About

I’m Nicholas Piasecki. I’m the software developer at Skiviez, an on-line store that sells men’s underwear. Like everyone in a small business, I’m in over my head and just muddling my way through. Having to keep servers running while cutting code and maintaining legacy systems is stressful, but there’s nothing more beautiful than when things Simply Work.

Unfortunately, sometimes things Simply Do Not Work. Sometimes it’s my fault, and sometimes it’s caused by a third party. These are my stories.
