techrecovery | disabled ethernet sockets (Reply)

We have a few rooms which are used only for meetings. As such, there is only one network port patched in, of the available three. This caused confusion for the meagre of minded, so in my ineffable wisdom, I cut the ends off some patch leads and poked them into the unpatched wall sockets, with the implication, that if there's only one choice the lusers won't be able to Fuck It Up.
well, I was wrong. I discovered this morning that there was a particularly bright moron who couldn't get their laptop working in one of the rooms, so they unplugged my DeadEnds and then threw them away. *sigh*
Back out there today, with some replacements and some string. They are now tied in place. I wonder how long they will last now? Or maybe, how long will it be before I get to do that to the other meeting rooms?

For the creative, I pulled the faceplate surround off, tied a knot in the ends of a piece of string, wrapped it around the anti-strain flex bits of the plug and put the faceplate back, with the knots underneath it, so they can't be pulled out easily.
