We have an informal "test lab" that has been growing, over the last month, in some otherwise-unused space. It's currently up to 24 machines, which are for the most part all in use simultaneously. These machines are piled up, 4 to the desk, because we need to test collaborative applications.
Yesterday one of my co-workers asked the obvious (in retrospect) question: how are all of these machines powered? We both got visions of a network of power strips all ending at one or two wall outlets.
Fortunately, that's not the case. They ran real wiring on some reasonable number of circuits and just fed it all into this space. That's good. :-)
I told this story to Dani last night, who reminded me that the electrician we had in a couple days ago had yelled at Dani for his network of power strips all plugged into one outlet.
