Thought I'd post some pictures of StuffÖ that happened today for those interrested.
Burned bladecenter
Burned blade 1
burned blade 2
As you can see we had a decent bonfire burning in our datacenter today. While not the primary reason for the delayed patch tomorrow this was definitely a pretty big contributing factor. This morning we had an alarm triggered on a powersupply in one of the bladecenters containing the Singularity testcluster. When reseating the powersupply which is part of a routine troubleshooting procedure before replacing with a spare part it somehow mysteriously, even magically (cause yet undetermined, and this is the first time we have this happen) managed to cause an internal short circuit in the bladecenter, completely fry one of the blades and seriously singe a few of the others. As you can imagine this caused us to immediately pull the bladecenter out of service and thus shutting down our primary public test server while we were juggling hamsters between cages to make StuffÖ work again.
Having Singularity, which is our primary staging server, shut down for several hours on the day before a big deployment is far from ideal, in fact it is critical as we use every hour right up until the last minute to test, retest and test again that everything is working. So add this to other issues that we were dealing with today and the prudent thing to do was to delay the patch and have a second dress rehearsal tomorrow, this time hopefully without incident.
Oh and by the way, the hamsters are still alive if somewhat visibly shaken.

You are damn right! 12 Bloody pages -long right! ;-)
Anyway: who forgot to turn the overheat OFF? who? who? Yeah, CCP! 
Honestly: I was expecting another snowball incident like last year. Well anyway wind&water (ice) and now fire is checked out, when will earth come? Next year? 
Ps:
 Do we get flamethrowers as an in-game item/joke??? Pretty-pretty-pretty please!!!!

Well its kinda scary that someone is sleeping and his computer catch fire in the middle of the night... Which one have a higher probability of catching some fire... The computer or the Oven???

Fuses and breakers are likely to trip before your home computer is going to burn anything. Those blade servers have some pretty massive power supplies. It appears that most of that power got shorted into one blade, which is why it fried. If you read the post, you will see that the power supply was already causing problems, and it was tinkering with it that triggered the fire. The server did not burst into flames all on its own, while the dev's were sleeping.

You know, I hear tech III servers have this subsystem which reduces heat damage. Might want to look into that.

That's just awesome
I've only had something similar happen plugging the power switch into the wrong part of the mother board of a really, really old computer once. Had melted plastic dripping on to my hand when i switched it on lol.

Wait, you use hamsters? I hope you keep them safe. I hear you got pythons in your code, and hungry pythons like to eat hamsters.

I see what you did wrong there. You have to shave the hamsters. Less heat buildup from friction.

That paperclip to hold the thing in place doesn't seem like such a good idea after all, does it?
Seriously my condolences. I'm glad no one at CCP was hurt (apart from the guy who is gonna get fired). Too bad it wasn't the server that was running Jita...
Now about your insurance - what do you mean you didn't have insurance???

Isnt it fair too say that My PC effectivly becomes part of this network once i log in ? :P
Actually theres an awesome idea why not make the program use free CPU power from other computers on the network too process data across the entire universe. (yeah i know it probably doesnt quite work like this but i feel im onto something here.)
