PING WAN - Down ended (now: Paused, "It went down, down down / And the flames went higher") A fire completely gutted one of our remote sites. I hope they got some tapes out, but they probably didn't even think of it. This won't be my problem but I'm sad for the folks over there. (We have 200+ remote sites and lol if you think we can herd random office admins into rotating backups offsite regularly, we're lucky if they even change the tape more than once a week.)

A decade ago, in my retail computer repair days, I had a guy bring in a funny smelling whitebox tower. The African-from-Africa dude said his computer had bugs. I asked him to clarify and he just gestured to the case, "inside." I opened it. The odour slapped my face and I saw a swarm of roach-things trying to scatter and hide. I slammed the cover back on and asked him where the computer came from. "Namibia!" he proudly proclaimed with a big smile. We were not in Namibia. I did not want a new invasive species in town, so I instructed him to put the computer back in his car and buy some Raid. "you don't fix bugs??" "only canadian bugs" it was funny at the time shut up
