[nycbug-talk] Help!!! (server problems...)

[Kit Halsted]

Thanks, Jim. Heat was one of the first things to occur to me, & one 
thing I did last time I was there was cleaning the filter on the 
server room AC. (Dropped ambient temp by about 15 degrees! That 
filter was nasty...) Still, it never made sense to me that heat 
problems would happen when the box was close to idle; I would expect 
crashes at peak times rather than at 7:00 AM when the office is empty 
& no one's hitting the web db...
