( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I can't help you with network connections so much (it just makes me miss the office when our network jacks and power were above the desks -- the room had been a former machine room, and they kept the power high, and they didn't want to run the network across the AC)

But, I've kicked my share of power strips, and seen other people do the same, so I'll mention a trick that one of my former co-workers showed me:

Kick-proofing your power strip's on/off switch

  1. Obtain the lid from a Gatorade or similar sized lid (about 1.5"/4cm inner diameter).
  2. Using a box cutter or other utility knife, cut a rectangular hole in the top of the lid, large enough to get your finger through.
  3. Orient the rectangular hole over the rocker switch on the power strip, and secure with duct tape.
  4. Cut the duct tape away to expose the hole.

If you see no reason to ever turn off your power strip, then you only need steps 1 and 3, and no need to orient the lid.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
