The IT dept say my Ubuntu laptop will cause "broadcast storms and spanning tree collapses." It's not entirely clear how a device on a single connection can cause a spanning tree to collapse; we'll be asking for a detailed technical explanation. We did ask if it "might induce a FUDstorm." We know they run Ubuntu themselves. My boss is defending this assiduously — "we're a Unix department, a Unix laptop is appropriate, Windows isn't" — mostly because he'd quite like it himself, as would several others in the department.

I have new headphones. Skullcandy Ink'd. Apparently they are hip with the kids. Also decent headphones. Wish I'd gotten ones with a side-entry plug. Also, left and right aren't marked. Very good noise blocking for the Victoria Line.

Is the DHCP for the network controlled by a windows domain controller? If so, they're probably alluding to the fact that under certain circumstances windows dhcp shits itself so badly that it destroys all network connectivity. This all because a device that doesn't speak active-directory got plugged in and requested an IP address. It's a wonderful system. Absolutely amazing watching an entire network of windows machines pop up with 'there is an ip address conflict' one after another.
