...in terms of temperature in the lab, that is.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting NWC Inc. lately has noticed that it's really warm near the servers. Too warm, in fact. Last week the temp starting rising, and rising...until Friday I was getting e-mail like this:
-- Report from Network Computing Green Bay Real World Lab at http://216.43.82.235, at Oct 28, 2005 12:45:45p --
Notification 3 of 4 in the third alert level
The temperature is 90. The high limit has been exceeded
Turns out the air conditioning lines were frozen. Our friendly management company took care of the problem and this morning I was greeted by a NetBotz report that said:
Temperature: 67.1 degrees F {value normal}
Humidity: 44% {value normal}
Airflow: 120 feet/minute {threshold not enabled}
Dayam! Even the airflow is better - we've been hovering around 40 feet/minute - but that 67 degrees is music to my ears. Ahhhh... it's downright chilly in there now. And just in time for me to start gearing up for our ESB review...excellent.
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
