BoR – Beer over Rails

Davy Jones — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:46:36 +0000

At Anchor, we have recently acquired shiny new APC Power rails! This means that we now have a whole bunch of metered APC power rails in the office, which we no longer need.

If you have read this blog before, you will understand how much our SysAdmins love beer. This is why we have come to a company-wide consensus that we will swap our power rails for beer! Let us know if you have some decent beer and we can trade you a power rail! (APC Model: AP7852)

Lots of rails

Belated cheers for the greenest day of the year

I think everyone in the office has just about recovered from St. Patrick’s day. Which is a good thing, what with the weekend coming up.

Are we doin’ it right? Honestly, the only glassware in the office is beer steins. This isn’t a problem, mind you…
