This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Too Hot
One very hot summer in Newbury, the building that a large mobile telecoms company housed all of it's main servers started to get rather hot. The air con wasn't working and all of the windows were bricked up to provide added security. They firstly removed the bricks to get some air flowing through the building, they then hung fans in the windows to get more air flowing through. They then put containers of icy water in the roons to try to cool it that way.

They eventually started hosing down the roof to try to cool it that way.

The hot spell luckily ended before they had do think of anything else.

Also too hot (an unrelated venting post):
Edited: Removed irrelevant story.

(Interesting idea about hosing the roof though - and if it was painted white that might have helped matters further.)

the outfit in question would be the one with the logo that looks like a red tadpole
