Adam Newbold ☛ URL as a sentence
I wondered about the idea of a URL being a complete sentence, and I picked up the domain newbold.is as the basis for my goofing around with the concept. I set up the subdomain adam, which made the start of a simple declarative sentence that might be reused countless times: ”Adam Newbold is”. And then I wired it up to my latest Statuslog entry via the omg.lol API, and configured it to always redirect to a URL derived from the text of the entry.

University of Toronto ☛ We might want to regularly keep track of how important each server is
Today we had a significant machine room air conditioning failure in our main machine room, one that certainly couldn't be fixed on the spot ('glycol all over the roof' is not a phrase you really want to hear about your AC's chiller). To keep the machine room's temperature down, we had to power off as many machines as possible without too badly affecting the services we offer to people here, which are rather varied. Some choices were obvious; all of our SLURM nodes that were in the main machine room got turned off right away. But others weren't things we necessarily remembered right away or we weren't clear if they were safe to turn off and what effects it would have. In the end we took several rounds of turning servers off, looking at what was left, spotting remaining machines, and turning more things off, and we're probably not done yet.
