Recently a friend showed me the tool MailListStat to generate mailing list statistics and I thought it would be much easier to implement this in Perl or Python instead of C.

Murphy’s Law applied to power failures
Some observations after a power failure at my office:
- Because of low occurence probability a UPS configuration update/test can stay an the end of a todo-list for months and years.

- Some devices just do not shutdown fast enough.
- Those devices that do shutdown correctly will have errors at startup instead.
