The Server. The Server. The Server's On Fire.

Server on fire
In case you're wondering how important those fans are inside your computer, we received an email from a tech at our data center informing us that smoke was coming from one of our web servers. And we're not even serving porn.
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn! Burn Motherfucker. Burn!

If I got such a call, I really don't know if I could keep a straight face.

"It is? you sure? My ping response is still pretty good...oh, there it goes..."

They did do something about it right?

"Your webserver is on fire, will you please come here and put it out before it takes down the entire colo?"
