Whats Antartica Like Mark?
Noticed your location and wondered what is like living and working in Antartica? 
Were you sent over there to work or did you choose such a remote location? I bet your heating bill is expensive! . But I suppose you won't get any trouble from neighbours!  |

I guess it's one way of preventing the servers from overheating.  |

Don't you ever get a bit lonely though Mark? - Or have you made friends with the local penguins, polar bears and seals?
And Penguin View sounds exotic( )? - is it a 5 bedroomed villa with indoor heated swimming pool? (now they would definitely be perks of the job!).
lol @ preventing servers overheating. So Mark, when are all the servers moving from the Maindenhead datacentre to the Antartic datacentre? |

Sure they can, if they freeze up make sure you overload the server. |

Do you get your food from the local Iceland?
It must be an ideal place to keep frozen food, especially as you don't have to worry about defrosting it.

Yeah, but it takes long time to make it good enough to eat. You need to hatch it for 1 hour by sitting on the pack.

Why not just stick it on top of the computer? That should be enough...
