Whatever you do, do not move here.

Our office got hit here really hard. (In Melbourne, Florida) Our generator died then our UPS died due to being pieces of fvcking shit. So then our AC unit in our server room turned off.

Everything got cooked.

When my boss got here three hours after the generator and ac were off (He just wandered here by chance), he said it was so hot in the server room that you couldn't touch any metal, it would burn you.

Right now, $300k of hardware needs to be replaced. But in the next couple weeks, we are taking everything out a replacing EVERYTHING because all of the servers, switches, routers are flaking out. We are gonna replace everything now and let the insurance battle solve itself, don't have time for that.

I'm gonna have a lot of fun in the next couple weeks.

So why didn't you start powering down when the cooling failed? Or better yet, have it power itself down when things got to hot.
Wow ... unemployment++ if I were the boss there.

Our T1 provider failed on us so we had no idea what was going on. Oh well, my boss says fvck it, insurance is gonna pay for it. That's what it's for.

Our admin guys set up something that tries to page them, but if the tempurature keeps going up, it starts shutting things down. Before we had that fancy hardware, I just had a program running on every node of our cluster that would shut it down if the temp got to high.

Every State, every location has its problems.
I used to live in California; we have heat waves, earthquakes, mud slides, and fires.
Florida is no different, they have no earthquakes but they got hurricanes.

The middle states have Tornados.

Here in NY we have Northeasters and possible hurricanes every 10 years or so.

Everywhere you go, there will always be problems.

I had 350 days/year of sun in Tucson, and the annual wildfire in the mountains.
Other than that.. no worries.

indeed welcome to AZ where you can roast a pig on a hot summer day

I love it here

Let's talk about the school system and immigration issues if you really want to get a good chuckle or two.

Carbo, something i've never understood. Why did you move here from NY if you hate it so much?

I think he meant that he hates Aphex!

Not a very good insult, but nice try....

munruss is still trying to insult you every chance he gets, huh? :roll:

Glad to see you posting Aphex...i guess the hurricane didn't do much damage to where you are...

To bad the hurricane didn't trash Aphex's room where his computer is. The world would be a lot better. Hey Aphex, did the cloudiness in your urine clear up? I remember you crying about it awhile back. You dope!
