Bikes: Old Steelies I made, Old Cannondales

I work at a tiny place and it was a bit of a "free for all" a few years ago from what I hear. But we have made good progress.

Speaking of doosh:

We have a reporting server that was crashing in the mornings during heavy workload. Seemed to be caused by a battery on a disk controller or something. Battery on order.
2:00 in the afternoon, a guy comes over and asks me if there's a problem with "Server A", because he lost his connection. "Crap" I think, now it's happening during the workday. Sure enough, I can't connect either.

I go into our computer closet, and "Bill" our desktop and basic maint guy has it pulled out of the rack with the cover off, but looks to still be running. All the green lights look happily blinking.

Me: "Bill, did you shut this down, or reboot or something ?"
Bill: "No, just looking at it. Wanted to see where the battery was."
Me: "Hmmm, we can't connect, but looks like it's running ok."
Bill: "Well, I had to unplug the network cable so I could pull it out all the way, do you want me to plug it back in ?"

Me: Facepalm
