Pressure test

I had to work on Saturday, due to a pressure test being done on our computer room. To ensure that the room is confined in the case of a file. The computer room is a sealed unit, which shouldn't allow air in and out - other than via the air conditioners. So once every couple of years the fire service come in, strap a couple of big fans where one of the doors is, and create pressure in the room. By measuring the pressure created, they can calculate if we have any leak.

A clean pass once again - but a pain for use, as we had to shut down and restart all the production servers, so the room doesn't get too hot during the tests - something that took us just over 5 hours.

Today (Sunday) was thankfully work free, and started at 10am with a big breakfast party at D & M's. A very nice cooked breakfast, which tired us out for the rest of the day!
