R.I.P. secure1...
So I just came across the ticket that my boss opened at Rackspace to suspend monitoring on our old shared hosting server before we killed it last week. It's pretty humorous, and easily worth sharing.
Please suspend/cancel all Rackwatch monitoring on secure1.liveoakhosting.com. This box is going back to the rack in the sky tomorrow morning so we're going to go ahead and shut it down and make sure nobody calls. :-)
She's been a good box. She's had a hard life, but has done her work well. We'll miss her around here, but know that she's done her best and has earned the rest. It's a wonder that those little platters weren't sparking from all the clatter. Her single processor worked laboriously through the years. Oh how she struggled during the fights with the hackers, spammers, and other misfits. Somehow, she prevailed, and was an inspiration to others around her. She led the way fearlessly and volunteered to be first for many upgrades. Without fail, she trudged along and gave hope to the younger, faster generation.
34631 is survived by four siblings; 61698, 67046, 83122, 96721, two children 76690 and 78712, two cousins; 108205, 92503, a half-brother; 70.86.80.2, and let us not forget the adopted 61710.
The holidays just won't be the same without you. Farewell 34631. We'll miss you.
