Good luck fixing it all. I guess it would be safe to say improving physical security is suddenly higher on your list of priorities than improving electronic security now?

I'm told that the electromagnetic fields attract small furry animals.

The physical security of my server is a such:

It on a metal shelf behind a shut closet door on the third floor of a 200 year old house that doubles as an ISP.

The kitchen is used for wood storage.
The master bedroom, for rug storage.

The ceiling of the attic is partially collapsed. My old boss sleeps on a mattress in the closet on his old volition.

There is the upper computer graveyard and the lower computer graveyard.

The server racks double as knife racks, but we all obey the rule "no blood on the carpet".

The backup generator is finicky, because there is a 50 percent chance it sits in a ankle deep puddle of water.

On the bright side, access to a T3.

I loved working there, and would not have worked at any other ISP. Anything else would be boring.

We fixed it today! Some pictures....
