As long as the HDD survives the drenching by the sprinklers, we should still have the data. That was back in the pre-cloud days (AKA the Stone Age). :wink:

We once got to the airport and found our airline's staff logging check-ins by hand. Don't know if true or not, but the story we heard was that there had been a fire in their data center, and the backup data center was in the same building.

At least the safety record suggests that their pilots are a bit better at their jobs...

Good news is, they kept paper copies of all the data. Bad news is, that's where the fire started.

I think that there's more than one programmer who's wanted to do this.

That'd be an interesting interview.
"So, what attracts you to work at our company?"
"Ticket AB1234 in your issue tracker."

I had one of those today.

"Thanks for your code to help me with my task, but when I do <this> it breaks."

"I must admit it never occurred to me that anyone would try anything as bizarre as that..."

(I was a bit more diplomatic - the kid's bright enough, but not very experienced.)
