Does anyone know what's running on that new rack?<br><br>I'm afraid I somewhat pre-emptively unplugged it from the network until we have a better idea. I left a note for whoever is running stuff there to talk to <a href="mailto:rack@lists.noisebridge.net">rack@lists.noisebridge.net</a>. If everything breaks, let me know and I'll plug it back in.<br>

<p>I interacted previously with a tall white guy named rob who seems to fit your description.</p>
<p>I was over by the fire escape and noticed one of the shelving units had been moved to accommodate our newest server rack - moved in such a way that it was now leaning drunkenly and coming apart. That quiet bike riding guy was back there and I asked if he knew who moved it. It was rob! Rob was in the space! I asked him to show me rob, then I asked rob to come look at the shelf with me. He came over but started looking out the window and ignoring me. I got his attention again and showed him the shelf. He didn't seem to care, although he implicated quiet bike riding guy's involvement in moving it. I showed them both an example shelf that wasn't coming apart.</p>
<p>Quiet bike riding guy started fixing it (after suggesting I be nicer). It is certainly fixed now.</p>
<p>That's my story about rob. I wasn't the most polite person to him, I suspect you weren't either rubin, but overall my impression of him was that he didn't give a shit what I had to say anyway.</p>
<p>Generally I am open to throwing in my in-person voice to helping people feel the weight of the community's opinion, but after this experience I have no hope for rob to listen to me.</p>
