What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Quickly losing my sanity listening to the beeps of all the UPSes in here. Half the office is without power, including the server room. And of course it started right as I picked up my keys to go to lunch. All the things have been gracefully shut down but it's getting super warm in the server room without our supplemental AC.

On a weekly "touchy feeling" meeting. Ninety minutes with almost nothing for me to do except some awkward stuff that isn't related to my job.

Have you ever had to rent a portable evaporative cooler to help cool down a server room?

Lamenting some Wild-West-like workstation / server configuration management.

Luckily, no. We usually open the door and shut everything down if we're looking at more than an hour of outage. And we have an oscillating fan.
Wouldn't an evaporative cooler bring in a lot of humidity?

Not rent, but they bought one for when the AC unit breaks. And it does happen. They aren't that expensive to buy. Not sure what rentals cost.

At home depot, depending on the model, you can rent for 4-hours ($33), per day ($47), per week ($188)or 4 weeks ($564).

And how many hours and cost does it require for someone to go and do that every time?

Less than dealing with the cost of researching, purchasing, storing, and maintaining one.
Unless you use it many times, which means you have other problems.

Ya it was in the previous building. On days it was 100+ in the shade, AC on in the server room, some pipe or whatever would freeze over somewhere kinda often.
