Wow, worse than 1345, a new record!
Just as Planned.
Bowie, Rickman, Nimoy, Democracy.
1345 ain't got nothin' on 2016.

No, no, no, Tiger woods is mixed-race, not mixed drink.

It did have the black death, though.

At this point, I fear celebrity deaths more for the tiresome "Oh noes! 2016! WHY???" babbling than for the loss of the celebrity themselves.

I have no idea who most of the ones dying recently are. Golden age star something or another the other day. Thought at first they were talking about a golden girls star but I don't recall which if any of them are still alive.
Can't sleep, clown will eat me.
Just Betty White at this point.

White is gonna be the next Abe Vigoda.

Come in Friday, office floor is wet. Call maintenance, and they send someone up. While waiting I notice lots of stuff is wet, 2 storage rooms, hallway, water dripping down the elevator shaft, etc. De-ionized water filter is ajar in one of the storage rooms, with water running out. Maintenance guy gets here, proceeds to inspect it and breaks it the rest of the way. Now water is pouring out and he's frantically turning knobs on the wall trying to guess which one might turn off the water. Finally finds the right one and things stop getting worse.
3 days later I'm still waiting to get back into the office. Holes are in the wall and they're pumping in hot air trying to dry stuff out. Rescued my computer today at least. Now I can be productive aka post on forums again.

Sounds like the day that it rained inside the controlled environment.
Good times, good times.
Good times, good times.

Funny thing is this has happened dozens of times over the years and they've always just given me a fan and said "good luck it'll dry soon," maybe brought in a shop-vac once to get rid of some of the excess water. The difference in response this time is rather amusing.

Fun fact: The raised floor in your data center does do a great job allowing you to direct cool air around and run cables and whatnot under the floor. But it's the top of the floor that is raised, not the bottom. It does *not* do anything about flood water getting in from say, a busted water main. All those 3" diameter power cables running from the power units to the racks? Time to hit the big red button on the wall behind the clear plastic cover with a sign under it that says "don't touch". That was a good time!
Every once in awhile, when I'm working in the narrow hallway spaces behind the systems on our test floor, I'll stop and look around. Yup. There's the big honking water pipes that feeds the water chillers. And there's the bit honking liquid nitrogen pipes that provides the "chill" part of that. And there's the high power lines right there, and a big power box with more lines running 220 to each bay, plus a couple 110 plates as well. And network switches and cables running all over the place. Oh. And the chiller units themselves, which occasionally drop condensation onto the floor (there's seriously a mop and bucket in each of those rooms for that very reason). But hey. I'll just hang out here with my console cart doing some system updates for a while cause it's fun and exciting.
Actually, they do a really good job maintaining that stuff. But it's still a bit unnerving when you stop and think about all the dangerous stuff that's more or less surrounding you in that situation.

My last factory install we had 800 amp, 3 phase, 480 volt power feeds to the main panel that went under the concrete. This is in Kentucky near the Ohio River. It would pretty consistently fill the conduits with water.
But, the cables are rated for it (everything under ground has to be rated for it, regardless of how dry it may be).
Still a bit unnerving seeing big 500 mcm cables swimming water.

Yeah. That's a bit scary, but if it's just the cables, barring some kind of damage to the sheath, you should be fine. Those big three prong locking connector thingies are presumably not waterproof at all though.

I don't know about anyone else, but the site's errors today have been off the charts for me.

Haven't noticed, but I'm not really the type to notice things either.
Guess the corpse is still twitching a little while longer.
