R.I.P. igor

The bosses here are technophobes mostly interested in risk management. They think that all hardware must come from a major manufacturer, and that FreeBSD is something unreliable written in a shed last Tuesday.

Our DNS master, igor, was built by my own fair hands using spare parts, back in the day when we still employed a couple of PC engineers and gave them an office in which to fix things, late 1997. It died last week with a broken boot drive.

Uptime was 2129 days, 14:27. See? Unreliable!

Ian.
