Taste of blood

[patgund.livejournal.com]

While pulling a fiber channel card out of a G5, I got cut by the blasted thing.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the card. I mean, now that it's developed a taste for blood, I can't just put it up with the rest of the fiber channel cards in storage, it may escape out of the pack and go feral, preying on faculty and medical students in small, dark corners of the school building........

Put it in an old chassis in the corner of a darkened room (preferably one with a floor drain) and save it for troublesome interns..

'Oh, could you go and get the card out of that machine.... in there...'

Oh, I've shed blood every time I've worked on any of our prof's servers. I consider it a "DNA tribute".

It's a good thing.

I've found hardware that gets a taste of blood works better. It's a necessary scarifice.

No machine I managed to cut myself on ever came back.

When I was working for [credit union], we had a large number of white box machines that we built in house. the cases were very poorly built with too many sharp edges. the staff there quickly named them "gilette" cases for the same reason that we kept a box of band-aids within arms reach on the bench...

You say this like it's a bad thing... ;)

Find a server to put it in. It'll work better than anything else in the room.

Which reminds me, I think my desktop is getting restless. I bashed my fingers against the PSU trying to unplug a power cable last time I was in there (swapping out the DVD-writer that had become a DVD-only-writer).

I used to let my blood Every Single Damn Time I went inside the old (think a decade + ago) Dell Dimensions. Those worthless, twisted stamped steel razors with the Dell logo on them SUCKED!
