Don't be so cruel!
If he wants a pointless server, he should be allowed a pointless server.

Also
you should be nice to him. A six year old girl managed to score more than him at the bowling yesterday.

I am lovely to him, always,
but I also know his wants and we can't afford to go spending £500 on a server and just need to remind him of this before we have to go through his in-depth 5-page, 3-year, heavily-macroed spreadsheet budget - all. over. again. God, I was dreaming about Excel functions for 4 frickin' nights after the last incident.

I sympathise with him over the bowling. Bowling is tedious. If you want to knock things over, use your feet. Or a sledgehammer.

You bought a server for fun?
I get the buying the server bit but I don't get the fun bit.

I..
Host my own websites and stuff. It proved to be extraordinarily useful. I love having it, but now I've moved all of my stuff to datacenters so i have no need for it :P

PS I'm a geek ;)

Really, I never would of guessed.
What websites did you host?
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Sun 6 Sep 2009, 17:18, Reply)

My personal sites, mainly..
And a few other select people.

www.thewallapp.com is the main one right now, its still under development though.

I also host my own SAN (RAID5 volume basically). Backup service and a few other bits and bobs. Its just to prevent me paying billions on hosting at a datacenter.
