Avoid Overheated Servers
Back when I was married, one of the things I had to get used to in the beginning was X being called in the middle of the night to run to the office and put out virtual fires in the server room. Things would overheat or shut down for no reason, or sometimes just stop running certain processes. I’m sure one of the guys lower on the proverbial totem pole should have been the one to take off in the middle of the night, but X was a micro-manager and a terrible delegater.
By the time someone would realize there was a problem with the servers, it would be to the point where it took hours to bring things back up to running condition. It would have rocked to have a product like the Temperature@lert USB temperature sensor back then. It’s a little device you plug right into a USB port. It keeps tabs on the ambient temperature in the room and if temps go up or down too far out of range, it sends alerts to one or more email addresses. And, it keeps a log of the temperature stats in the room. This would have cut a lot of long nights out of the picture.
Technology just keeps making life easier.
I love what you did.
LOVE it.
Because you and I both know it’s better.
I’m knitting a cap now.
Just thought you should know that.
We need to design some tee shirts that we will sleep in when we have a slumber party.
Emo boys rock! will be mine.
