Upstairs we have a small server room and this morning one of the UPS up there started to produce a lot of stinky, dense, toxic smoke. Everybody immediatly evacuated the office. Me and a few others tried to cut the power supply but, you know, UPS systems exist precisely because they can operate (for some time) even without the power. Smoke wasn’t stopping so Max called the firemen. You know, better safe than sorry. He’s been careful to tell them there was no fire and not to worry and everything. None the less, they arrived in 2 minutes with 3 big vehicles, as in hollywood movies! Of course, the problem has been completely solved in 5 minutes but then our internet connectivity was still down, so we’ve basically spent the rest of the morning waiting for the situation to normalize.

I love sunsets. This wonderful picture has been captured from the window next to my desk. I’m lucky enough that from my desk I can see Florence in all its glory, including Brunelleschi’s Cathedral Dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Palazzo Vecchio and Basilica di Santa Croce. And when this amazing landscape is completed by a such a sunset, you gotta believe me, you completely lose your breath.
