oldbloke's mutterings

#1. That Maploco thang can be done, though without the map, by some of the stuff in LJToys, innit.

#2. We were, naturally, discussing the possibility of being snowed in, unable to leave the computer centre. Who would you eat first?

Just seen:

Service Notification System
Just after midnight, one of the power supplies in [name of server] failed, damaging the associated UPS. Additionally, despite the server having redundant supplies, the one that failed is required to maintain correct cooling. Consequently a replacement supply was required; this was fitted at 08:45, and the server has rebooted OK.


A not-very-good UPS, then. And if a particular supply is required, there really isn't any redundancy after all.

Bobbins, innit?
