Clean Server Room
I spent the better part of today going through the server room and cleaning out years of accumulated junk that had been thrown in there.
Highlights include:
- 100+ DLT backup tapes, all headed to the degausser on campus
- 30 heavy gauge power cables from various servers
- Norton Internet Security 2004, never opened
- Office 2000
- Tons and tons and tons of empty boxes.
The goal? To make it so that when I need to retreat away from the noise of my office and actually get some work done, I have a place to go that not only has a door, but a door protected by a mag reader. And, if I position myself close enough to the Liebert (which is where the table is in the room) I don't get blown on. The ambient temperature of the room is about 74 F which isn't bad, and the noise from the servers is at least better than listening to people talking loudly.
Oh, and Jae is a jerk.
