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!

From there it’ll probably move into…

    We have a new employee starting tomorrow. We listed her in our website’s staff directory on Friday. I went to setup a PC to log in to her email this afternoon, and there was already spam in the account! The spam directed at her got here before she did. If that doesn’t smack of an…

    I checked the Dell site last night to see how the production of my Axim X5 was going only to discover that they had shipped it on Monday, and that it had arrived at the UPS distribution center in Columbus yesterday evening.
