Anyone watching it? We have brought a TV into our back room at work to make sure we can watch the live stream on the big screen.

Anyone else interested? Been some interesting images from Sochi already, and you can google it but check this out: http://www.businessinsider.com/sochi-hotel-photos-2014-2

We've turned on the opening ceremonies. I don't know if the kids have changed away from it yet, since they're home from school for Teachers Convention.

We were going to set up one of the tvs in the office but we got kind of busy

Melbosa · February 21, 2014, 09:22:07 AM

Well it is turning out to be a hell of a last few days. You guys checking into this?

Canada has been KICKING some SERIOUS ass.

Yep, back in second for over all gold!

I have had to enable emergency bandwidth restrictions in the office to prevent the Olympics from killing our line.

It's been a good time to have off. I've been able to see almost all the events.

In fact listening to the game in the car right now

Thorin · February 21, 2014, 12:25:53 PM

Tom · February 21, 2014, 12:33:27 PM

A few days agio, the quarter-final win was so heavily watched @ agric that it was taking me 5+ seconds for GOOGLE to even load in a browser, let alone Gmail (nearly a minute!) ... a buddy told me someone in IT did some analysis and said there was somewhere between 10x and 20x the normal network usage.

Will definitely ask around on Monday to find out about today's consumption.

I had our 100% utilization problem fixed on the first day of the olympics.
