Today didn't go so well. Suffice it to say Windows and NTFS are not my friends right now. Adaptec is questionable too. I spent a good chunk of the day and evening sitting in a server room, which was noisy and the chair isn't that comfortable. Tomorrow I think I bring my headphones. On the plus side I got automatic Incidents and notifications for blackholing hooked into MIMEDefang on the email servers so I can pretty much completely ignore those messages (a very good thing, since I had 468 new messages between when I left work and got home). Another plus is my 2U vented rack filler panels came today. So I got to get rid of the big box fan at the base of the rack. Mounted a 3u blank panel, then suspended two fans on the inside rail of the rack and a 2u vented panel on the outside, and created support for a filter. Cut fiberglass to fit and then sealed up the bottom with another 3u filler panel. I also rearranged the vent panels a bit so now the cabinet should be slightly positive pressure with filtered air and all the components staying cool. We'll see how that ends up working out and if I need more fans soon. Maybe tomorrow night assuming stuff goes well.

Grr. Another 370 new messages in the time it took my to write that, bringing my since-I-left work total up to the high 800s. Viruses are a pain!

Yes, I'd like to see pictures of Mooney's rack. Snicker.

Be careful what you ask for.
