sawylArriving early this morning I noticed something odd hanging from the atrium ceiling. On closer inspection, I discovered it was a modest sized weather observation blimp installed as part of this week's expo.
The rest of the morning proceeded more or less as expected, upto and including the depressingly predictable meltdown that occurred when the storage was shutdown for an OS upgrade. After much fiddling we decided to cut our losses and reschedule the storage update for later in the week, by which time we hoped to have come up with a strategy to ameliorate the impact of taking the nodes out of service.
