The Plague!

Well, not really.. but close enough!

So far 3 of the 5 man Department I work in, have came down with a heavy illness (I know in some places it might be referred to as “Man Flu”) leaving just myself and Jaymes (my boss) in here.
Well, Jaymes would be here if he wasnt with his pregnant wife at the natal clinic having another check-up done. Which leaves me as the only fit and able bodied person in the department today.
Thank god one of the 3 aircon units was still switched on this morning when I walked in, or there would of been problems!

For a quick recap, our server room is a small-ish room set somewhat in the “middle” of the building, with no natural forms of ventilation (i.e. windows or vents) and it contains up to 40 servers and associated networking equipment, in an enclosed space with a roof mounted Aircon unit, and two wall mounted ones.

So, when you walk into a supposed “cold” room only to discover that its warmer than your office.. you do somewhat panic! luckily none of our servers suffered due to the heat and its all functioning properly.
I suspect a quick e-mail to the rest of the department saying “please check all aircon units are switched on before you leave, and DO NOT SWITCH THEM OFF” would be beneficial just in case.

On other things… I hate TdC even more (Mr. Alphanor there on the sidebar) as I have now gotten Battlefield 2142 to play (I wonder if he will read this!) And after the disaster which was Battlefield 2 and its patching woes, it seems DICE still havnt sorted it out (current hate: Servers which auto-switch you without warning in the middle of games when you die for no apparant reason)

Oh, and Zootfly got “slapped” by Sony Pictures over the Ghostbusters videos they posted on Youtube, so the stuff down below wont be working any more 🙁 at least the TimeO stuff is still there!
