Domenico 08-19-2002, 07:48 AM I really think you are unique and you should be taken away from home and be put in a curiosity museum. :D btw. maybe one day magazines will come out with names like playnoc and pentnoc and surely those good interviews will be there too... reseller 08-19-2002, 08:06 AM ahahaha are you people serious? they're computers!!! i'm betting you thought the game "tomb raider" was brilliant and just loved the lara croft character right? :stickout :D Tux-e-do 08-19-2002, 08:23 AM Originally posted by reseller ahahaha are you people serious? they're computers!!! i'm betting you thought the game "tomb raider" was brilliant and just loved the lara croft character right? :stickout :D Mmmmm Lara Croft, if only :D davidb 08-19-2002, 08:30 AM Ya, I love lara, I mean Tomb raider.

Really. :rolleyes: I should send you some pictures of some of the centers I've seen. Far from perfect. :( On the other hand, there were others that made me go :love: and want to move in and never leave. :D NetXL 08-19-2002, 08:55 AM Originally posted by SoftWareRevue Really. :rolleyes: I should send you some pictures of some of the centers I've seen.

SoftWareRevue 08-19-2002, 08:57 AM We will be posting pictures of our three centers soon. ;) They are so cool. From the dual 56k feeds; to the fact that two of them have doors. Aplusmedia 08-19-2002, 10:08 AM I think they are cool. but hell no I wouldnt spend all day looking at it.:stickout dynamitehost 08-19-2002, 10:29 AM One word.... why?????? Acronym BOY 08-19-2002, 11:32 AM geek porn! JTY 08-19-2002, 12:29 PM I like looking, but I'm not obsessed. It reminds of me of back in '94 when I went with my Dad to visit our ISP, which was run out of the guys garage. And, he let me use his Sun Sparc 20 to surf the web. Even though it was only a T1, it was fast. jic 08-19-2002, 12:44 PM Yeah I remember going to my friends house who had ISDN (DEDICATED) hohoho. Then I think even farther back and fearing that my ISP had a 56K dedicated connection to the internet.. Where have those days gone ? :) WebmastTroy 08-19-2002, 01:07 PM I'm not obsessed or anything....its just that I think they are cool looking with the cabinets and the way they are designed.

Yeah, i could look at them all day too. artisan 08-19-2002, 03:10 PM You need to get out more. Computers age too quickly...in 6 months when you see it again it'll be outdated and worthless. Go and check out a World Wonder. Much more rewarding :) As a bonus, you might meet a woman with a rack that you don't have to plug in. Maybe you'll get turned on instead of the computer :) (Stop me now, please) ... jhcashman 08-19-2002, 04:50 PM I can tell some people are still virgins :stickout blitzlight 08-26-2002, 04:57 PM Originally posted by WebmastTroy ...datacenters are the coolest things in the world?

Anyone else? or am I alone on this.. :rolleyes: :confused: I don't like being in datacenter! ... got a number of scars & bruises from datacenters :rolleyes: I'm sure many in WHT experienced the same thing too The only time I'd camp in datacenter is when doing network troubleshooting, when everybody panic and screaming, phones continuously ringing (cell phones not allowed), people busy activating their backups or in larger scale, disaster recovery plan. They then will contact each of their counterpart in different part of the country/region to "swing" their production network to the other side etc, I can see managers nervously busy preparing damage control and politically correct statements, etc. and the word "datacenter: reminds me of: - heaps (and sometimes messy beyond belief) of network cables underneath the raised floor - it's cold in there! - monotonously noisy (come from lots of server/router fans or power backup system or temperature control system, humming monotonously) - Lots of LEDs (when you switched off all the lights, sometimes it makes nice scenery though - as if you're surrounded by green/orange tiny tiny small little stars) - security systems (lots of sign-in, password to punch in, card to be flashed, retina/finger print to be scanned etc) - rows and rows of servers, cisco routers/switches, multiplexers, modems, fiber distribution frame/patch panels, PBXes/DMSes, DWDMs, etc BUT, when you manage to fixed the network and the havoc finally over, you'd walk out from datacenter with a feeling which hard to describe, as if you just saved the world! :D citrus 08-26-2002, 05:05 PM I too am a sucker for data center pics... Honestly though, sometimes when I can't sleep or I'm bored I head over to communitech.net's live DC cameras for hours of enjoyment!!!

I used to do business with them so here and there I look over their website just to see what's up. And if you spend alot of time watching their live cameras, you might be lucky enough to have witnessed some interesting things the staff do. :cartman: Aussie Bob 08-26-2002, 09:06 PM Someone should arrange "datacenter tours" or a "datacentere crawl". :D JMD 08-26-2002, 09:13 PM Originally posted by reseller ahahaha are you people serious? they're computers!!! i'm betting you thought the game "tomb raider" was brilliant and just loved the lara croft character right? :stickout :D yes and your point???:D RackFive 08-26-2002, 09:26 PM Originally posted by WebmastTroy ...datacenters are the coolest things in the world?
