My main hosting server roached its hard drive this morning

[feren]

So now I get to add that to the list of things that (desperately) need my attention to be given to them.

I run a hosting service why? Oh yeah, I do it because of my love of technology.... except when it fails and roaches a drive in a machine that's half a continent away from me.

I should just convert my office at home into a proto-datacenter and be done with it.

Raised floor and Air conditioned goodness

[(Anonymous)]

Time to install the raised floor and install more central Air units. It's either that, or employ a design similar to a data center that I have been in 4-5 years ago.

Shanedoll :D

Sounds like a plan. Hey Feren, you don't mind if your power bill quadruples, do you?

Just think of all the pretty flashing lights you'll see! It'll be like Christmas every day!

If I wasn't near capacity on the wimpy 15A circuit in the cave already, I'd offer to colocate here. :oD

Just in passing buddy, If you want I can collocate it in my datacenter free of charge. Only shitty thing would be that it's still 6 hours away and your publics would change.

Hate it when that happens. Lost a mirrored drive on my webserver not too long ago. One good thing did come out of your plight, it reminded me I need to fix my failed drive before the other one goes too...

Hope you have good recent backups :)
