Hardware Hates Me

The past few weeks have not been good on the hardware front:

  • An IBM RS/6000 PSU tries to murder colleague
  • The UPS for RS/6000 cluster at work died
  • Then we had a power outage at work
  • Then the UPS was fixed - requiring a Sunday at work day
  • Then the UPS of phone system dumps sulphuric acid fumes into server room - office evacuated
  • Then the Power-pylon in front of my home burns down, so home was without power for 7 hours
  • When the power was restored I discovered that my Ethernet switch had died
  • I was late into work this morning because the alarm clock lost the alarm settings because of the power cut
