On a lighter note, Rod (one of the profs here, not one of my profs though) let me uswe the tools and supplies here crimp a new RJ-45 connector on my 3Com cable. Rose-Hulman charged us loads for new ones so I had just duct-taped the cable to the connector since it had come loose of the outside crimp and I was worried about it totally pulling loose, and the little clip had broken off too... it's been broken since '98. But no more! It's fixed! I crimped it nice and tight on the shielding, it's not ugly like it was before (it had more than .5" of leads showing), and it works great. :) I'll have to bring in my 15' green cable Stephanie gave me and put a new connector on it since it's clip is broken. Rose gave us so much free cable. :P Anyway, I'm bored of class, we're not doing anything, and I waited too long so the union cafeteria is closed and I can't get food, so I think I'll go home. Whoop!
