Had a bit of a power issue this weekend. The building we work in has some pretty ancient wiring… and some of them gave out this weekend. Took most of our QA lab down.

Lessons I have learnt from this:

Daisy chaining power bars is not a good thing. Daisy chaining more than 2 power bars is a bad thing.

Electricians are lazy, and like to run as many outlets off the same circuit as possible.

You can never have too many power outlets in a server room.
