There was a time when I spent lots of time in the Data Center. I didnt enjoy them very much then, too much noise, too many people telling me what to do and way too many unpaid overtime hours clocked up. The last of that was about 12 years ago. These days I goto the DC maybe three or four times in a year, and its mostly related to CentOS infrastructure or my own personal machines hosted around London. And unlike things 12 years ago, I quite enjoy my trips into the vault like colo rooms now.

Apart from a bunch of routine things that I need to sort out tomorrow, I'm hoping to bring online a hardware rng adapter, and a Tilera Server. If you havent seen this platform before, I recommend you do : specially if lots-of-cores is something you are keen on, or have a problem domain overlap with.
