I think Rocky's still on the road, so I will answer

Yes it is a Hemi.

I drove it when he first got it, and he said to open it up

I went from 30 to 70 in about 2 seconds and the car squawked out of second gear WOOT!

Speaking of which... I would appreciate it if those interested could let me know some how if this is something they would like to see more of?

If it is something you'd like to see more of, how should we control the content? Ie. Do you think, if we are putting things up for fun or informational purposes we should allow others to comment if we are posting the videos etc to our own site?

I believe that we should keep the comments here so they are more objective.. and that our site should be for the purpose of informing only.

Thanks in advance for any feed back

He needs to get a telus stick and use the $15 a day unlimited data. He could have streamed while driving.

Or the Rogers $30 for 6GB which came back yesterday.

Steve some type of tour. your DSL login request comes into here and goes here and here and then there etc...

The ones who freak out when there are outages or even planned outages may then understand just how complex it all is.

Re: Rocky on his way to Toronto!

How do you string fibre in a facility such at 151 ?

Does the building owner have its own people who physically put the cables in between 2 points that you specify ? Or do you just string your cables along "public use" paths on the ceiling (or under floor) between different points in the building ?

Are you allowed to lift tiles on the floor ? Or does that require special permission that deactivates alarms ? (For instance, if you need to string a cable between 2 racks on opposite sides of an aisle).

Re: Rocky on his way to Toronto!

You basically request the "x" amount of fibres from your collocation provider, they charge you a setup fee (and monthly after it is setup).... They would then take care of pulling the fibres to/from the various points. Suspect you need some sort of building authorization to pull between suites....

Doesn't STD handle a lot of the suite-to-suite cabling at 151?

Ya the people at 151 would setup a bulkhead where they string in x number of fibres that you request. You connect your fibre patches to that bulkhead

From that bulkhead it would run to the cross connect field the strands would terminate to the Fibre Termination Box. There would be a large group of these termination boxes together and then the people at 151 would patch as necessary to route the signals coming from Teksavvy's fibre to wherever it needs to go ie Peer 1.

As an employee this has to be one of the coolest thing an employer has ever done.

Not only is it nice to show customers what it looks like inside 151 Front, what is being done, changes, modification etc etc. but for employees that don't get to go, to actually have an idea of what's going on there is super cool too.

Keep up the good work, don't sleep on the job guys!

Keep those videos flowing.

Yeah I remember when my boss was talking to me a couple months ago when we moved to another datacenter... We have a 5U Quad-CPU MONSTER box. The thing takes 3 person to move. He says his ears rang and his back hurt for 2-3 days after that. And he's about your build.

Good luck with tonight's maintenance!

The best is the fees they charge for conduit for running from the risers to your suite.. they charge per foot per month for the conduit. Also I believe they charge per foot/month for the pipes for the water cooling system to a suite.

I used to love going to 151, wish I could go there again. Nothing beats going for street meat at 3am on all nighters lol. Still have my access card, but they have to be "renewed" annually. Spent many a long night there with my friends at Accelerated Connections...

And those guys in Switch & Data can be fun.

/me is drooling over the junipers... why oh why does my work have to sell more Cisco than juniper...more Cisco sales = bigger discount on Cisco = that is what we use internally lol. I would use Juniper/JunOS any day over IOS.

Do you guys use the Juniper EX series switches too? Or just for your routing infrastructure?

/end drooling

At least I have some Juniper logos to look at in my basement racks with a bunch of Netscreen firewalls lol.
