We will be having a 4 hour outage on Monday, 11/19/2007, starting at 10:00 PST. The purpose of this outage is to reroute many of the power cords for the project servers, rearrange some of our UPSs and pull deprecated equipment out of the server room.

Will it really be 4 hours??? Perhaps a cat will knock over the human operators and as they are falling, they'll reach out and grab for anything. Only later realizing they grabbed the cables for the servers on the upper part of the rack. Causing the rack to come crashing to the ground. Thereby making this one a 6 week outage.

Let the speculation build.

Oooohhhh....
Did that once with about $20,000.00 worth of stereo equipment. The kicker was the 200 watt amplifier that landed on my foot. Took me days to get it all back in order.
Hope the boyz in the lab are a bit more organized than me.
It a cabling thing. Getting a hundred or so patch cords in the proper sockets can not be a fun thing.........
But the kitties helped...LOL.

Hehe. Sounds like what happened to a friend of mine. We had had a few drinks and she had a few more than me. She walked across the living room in front of our tv/stereo outfit and tripped on a cable. She started falling and reached out to catch herself on the tv. That tipped the whole equipment stack over and she hit the floor. I was lucky enough to be close to her and saw what was happening. I made a dive for her and got down on all fours on top of her to protect her from all the equipment while a tv landed on my back, a vcr bounced off of my head, and a massive stereo receiver/pwr amp landed on my shoulder. I had to get my wife and the girl's sister to hold all the stuff while I slid out from under it and helped her up. I came out of it with a few scrapes and bruises and a knot on my head from the vcr, but this girl was a lot smaller than I am so all that stuff landing on her could have killed her! (I was coming down with the equipment so it didn't have that much actual impact on me except for that *%&$ VCR!!! Ouch!)
Just hope they don't trip over a cable or anything in that closet!

Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.
Others live life day by day and look back at the wealth of experiences and enjoyment they've had.

Yeah I've got a potential cable situation here too, One PC that's not in use has cables going across the floor(No power cables are there at least), As soon as I can I'm going to move that PC and It's cables and move a PC with It's own monitor, keyboard, mouse and 54G connection there instead, Then there will be no more cables going across the floor between the Kitchen and the Living room.

Man, she owes you a favor, if you know what I mean. Saving her life and all. Well, at least it was the right thing to do. And on that note, I hope you bought a more stable shelf. :)

I'm trying to decide whether to lengthen my cache from one to two (or more) days. I understand there'll be a longer outage after the Monday one.

How far ahead/behind GMT is PST?

I'll use the outage to shut dowm several systems & service them.

Thanks Fred & Keith, much appreciated.

Will shut down systems tonight. Nice, it gives me a lovely excuse for tomorrow (will have a sneaky quiet day).
