My kingdom for some fresh air….

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but one of the big downsides to being in a small office like this is that, instead of having a server room, my office serves as home to both my powerful PC, and the main file server. In fact, there’s enough equipment in here that, combined with the fact that it’s an internal room with no windows, it’s generally a couple of degrees hotter in my office than it is elsewhere in the building. On top of that, in order to keep the server physically secure, my office is locked tight any time I’m not here. Over the course of any normal winter weekend, my office gets quite stuffy and is usually pretty uncomfortable for part of Monday morning. Today, after being locked tight since Friday evening, my office is unbearably stuffy! Even with the fan going it’s taken all morning to even get to a point where I can sit in here without getting sweaty. What I wouldn’t give to be able to pop open a window for a little while and let some fresh air in here!

    Turns out the network cable wasn’t unplugged, but somehow, someway the data-port just went dead on us. Has this ever happened to you? I’m thinking some sort of electrical short or something from the desk hitting it, but that seems somewhat far-fetched. Especially considering the telephone jack still works fine! I’m not an electrician, so…
