Much like Rahoul’s post on knowing you’re on the right path, I had that moment this morning whilst we were discussing a future feature for our control panel.

john: will I be able to superpoke our customers?
john: is that in the spec?
Jeremy: “John made server10 a zombie”
Caius: “server10 zombified server9”
Jeremy: “David has poked server19 19234 times”
john: server16 messaged David “My disk is filling up and I have files I need to put somewhere, please help!”
Caius: “Rahoul ended his friendship with server15”
David: “server02 is now married to server05”
Rahoul: server10 has sent you 12 videos of a fat man eating a cake
David: server11 joined the group “KVM ftw”
Caius: “server16 threw a sheep at server15”
john: server03 joined the group “Centos sucks!”
Caius: “server15 sent an emergency broadcast: physical movement detected”
john: storage03 has logged off
Caius: “x13 flew to the moon 0 times”
john: disk5 in storage02 is now a zombie
Jeremy: disk4 in storage02 is now a zombie
Jeremy: disk3 in storage02 is now a zombie
Jeremy: disk2 in storage02 is now a zombie
john: storage02 was sold on ebay by Jeremy
Caius: “john was sold on brightbox marketplace by storage5”

(In case you don’t know, I work for Brightbox.)
