Following Cables for Fun!

Hi Folks,

I came accross this picture taken a number of years ago now, I just thought I'd share it with you guys. We were in the process of removing equipment from the Data Centre and had followed the cable through to this area, where one of the old patch areas had been.

When we lifted the floor tiles to access the void which I should point out was 24" deep, we found this - the pair of cutters in the picture may let yo know what happened next.

As an aside, after disturbing the tiles I had to leap up and down on them to get them to go back down. So, this is what 45 years of cumulative cabling looks like for anyone that want's to know.

Regards

Dave

DateTime::LeapSecond(3) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   DateTime::LeapSecond(3)

NAME
DateTime::LeapSecond - leap seconds table and utilities VERSION
version 1.06 SYNOPSIS
use DateTime; use DateTime::LeapSecond; print "Leap seconds between years 1990 and 2000 are "; print DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_2000 ) - DateTime::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_1990 ); DESCRIPTION
This module is used to calculate leap seconds for a given Rata Die day. It is used when DateTime.pm cannot compile the XS version of this code. This library is known to be accurate for dates until December 2009. There are no leap seconds before 1972, because that's the year this system was implemented. o leap_seconds( $rd ) Returns the number of accumulated leap seconds for a given day, in the range 0 .. 22. o extra_seconds( $rd ) Returns the number of leap seconds for a given day, in the range -2 .. 2. o day_length( $rd ) Returns the number of seconds for a given day, in the range 86398 .. 86402.
