July 30, 2005Space Shuttle Verifiedi meant to post this a few days ago, but between my normal mishigas, my desire to continue leveling up my WoW character, and a hectic work schedule it just didn't happen. anyway.... coincidently, on the day the space shuttle finally launched, i had to finish up some data and voice wiring for an office we will be occupying and the previous tenant left a lot of wiring that i needed to clean up. i found some decent cat-5 cables that i thought were worth keeping, so i bundled them up neatly and noticed that some had interesting markings on them. i have done a fair amount of wiring in my day and see a pretty wide variety of cables, but this one was new to me. using google, i got a few hits, but none said what the significance of that "verification" was all about. i first mused that maybe someone borrowed some cable from nasa ames down the road, but one of the things i found via google indicated that the person bought theirs from frys. so much for that becoming an interesting story. in case others are curious, i have put a picture of the cable up on flickr.
