We have a fridge behind our server racks. No need to hide anything. The fridge is on it's own circuit as god intended.

Thanks Ants posted:Always good to rip an old server out a rack and have the thing on top crash down a level because somebody couldn’t be bothered with finding the correct rails for it. I’ll never forget the time I had to swap a bad CPU on a dell server that had 4 servers stacked on top without rails. I managed to wedge something in behind the one I needed to pull out that was big enough to reach down to the next properly racked server, and shimmy it out enough to get the case plate off without the other servers collapsing entirely. Then I called my boss and demanded justice be done upon whoever pulled that poo poo. This was at a major state university, which I was attending at the time. Never work for someone you pay for services, it’ll always be disappointing at best and alcoholism inducing at worst.

Honestly this seems like a lot of effort for something three dudes could get through in an hour. The solution is to store more down there, obviously.

Siochain posted:24x7x365 mining operation here. Getting outage windows to reboot servers for various issues is hard enough, let alone trying to schedule one for "cleanup". We'll get it done eventually, just not anytime soon. Bigger fish to fry as well, its ~mostly~ cleaned up now, we just need to make it easier to trace. 24x7x365 here aswell. One day though. One day i'll grab my chance to fix this. I've been fixing the cabling in the datacenter a little bit every maintenance window. They are 2 hours so it's not enough time to get it all done.

I work at a healthcare company which does IT for radiology centers. Over the past few days, one of the centers got one of their scanners replaced. However, they ran into an issue yesterday with the new scanner where the images were being scanned upside down. The vendor for the scanner decided to fix this by replacing the computer connected to the scanner with another one (not the easiest thing to do since the scanner computers are on XP and the rest of the center's computers are on 7 (no, I don't know why they're on XP)). Everything works fine after that. However, the computer didn't actually need to be replaced. Would anyone like to guess what the issue was?stevewm posted:LOL wow... had to look this up.

My experience is getting a quote from them and my boss saying they're too expensive. He wasn't wrong, their product does way more than what we needed. Are you trying to accomplish a specific task, or just have a general need for workflow tools in sharepoint?

mewse posted:*being wheeled into giant radiation emitter* In my old office I had one of our WAPs sitting on a little table. When I got booted out one of the senior managers moved in. A couple of weeks ago he came to me asking that the WAP be moved because it's a radiation hazard. He explained that he had watched several videos on YouTube on the subject. I tend to be a nonchalant about rads because I've had so much radiation that I couldn't give a poo poo about what comes off of a WAP, but I didn't want to be a jerk about it. I explained that our office is being hosed with EM from at least FIFTY other wifi networks and that a random person on YouTube is not an authority. He said that the YouTube people sounded very confident and that if I didn't move the WAP he would go to my boss. So I moved it into the next office and that was enough for him.

MJP posted:"Okay sir, let's begin your radiation treatment." Initially my radiation oncology doc misaimed the beam, so the side of my leg got particularly roasted by the radiation. It's a tossup whether my original cancer will be the one that kills me, or secondary cancers from the rads. I'm due for one, or both. I'm hoping for the wild card: a massive CVA!

One of them got turned into a chair, one got "Lost" and the third one got all the guts ripped out of it, a small fridge placed inside of it's guts and filled with beer.
