Thank you, Tom Metro, for engaging on the actual technical merits of this topic. But at my workplace we just had a good-bye celebration for a 9-year veteran of my company so I've had a couple drinks, and got a laugh out of Rich's suggestion here so I'll address his first and then look at yours later tonight or tomorrow. So: the dog-cage idea. Well, I did point out that I moved from Cambridge ($360/square foot) to San Francisco ($1200/square foot). Your cage idea's a good one in locales where space isn't at such a premium. Like any good DevOps guy, I've got two-of-everything, and to avoid the cruise-ship-fire scenario (wherein there have been multiple cases where the redundant diesel generators were both in the same room, knocked out by a single fire onboard $billion cruise ships), the servers are separated on different floors. So I have to install big-ugly dog cages on two levels of a pricey condo. I love the idea but household members probably won't. ;-/ Maybe I'll commission a sculpture artist to help implement this idea? -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
