I announced a downtime for a smallish GPU Cluster starting from christmas eve just a few hours ago. It is just the perfect time to schedule a day or two of downtime for a system like that. And if IPMI doesn't fail me, I can get a lot of things done without leaving the comfort of my home. I scheduled this without pressure from my boss. It was a totally voluntary decision... While being raised as a Christian, this time of the year is for me more about solstice then about the Christian clelbration. A time to enjoy the comfort of a heated home. A time to celebrate that the days are going to be longer from now on again. A time to reflect on the past year. And all of this is easily done while having a few terminals open and waiting for remote stuff to complete...
