Gave a tour of the new server room today to about 30-odd people in the department. Ended on a bit of a low note ("…and that's the end! Any questions?") but other than that it went well. Even got an ounce of champagne at the end of it.

Oh, and yesterday I found out that our SL-500 has three fibre channel interfaces, compared to the one interface in the server we bought. I think the sales folks assumed we had a fibre switch, and I didn't realize it all (data + control) wouldn't go over one cable. Arghh.

Just saw a character named Terence on "Entourage" who was not Terrance Stamp. Now I want to see "Bowfinger" and "The Limey", in that order.
