If anybody asks, I might deny having said this, but the leftovers from Mission Critical Linux (those which haven't yet been auctioned) are being disposed of and it's probably a good scavenging opportunity.
I was helping with the cleanout this morning and was personally responsible for tossing lots stuff that seemed genuinely valuable into the dumpster, feeling the whole time I'm gonna burn in hell for committing such egregious acts of wastefulness. Stuff like 19" rack mount trays, expensive SCSI cables (wide, fast, deep, LV, LVD, round, flat, etc) and enet cables, various brackets, slides, manuals, CDs, bags of screws and other hardware, etc, etc - basically, all the sorts of random detritus you'd expect from the demise of a typical computer company. I gathered some of the smaller goodies into a box that I intend to bring to some upcoming GNHLUG meeting at Martha's for the hordes to paw through, but (IMHO, at least) there's stuff in that dumpster that should meet a better fate than being entombed in some landfill. Also, there's still some stuff (including servers, UPS's, monitors, keyboards, etc) available for sale (or maybe even for the taking) in the adjoining storage space until tomorrow evening when that space must be emptied. Unfortunately, some bonehead has midnight-dumped some of his furniture into MCLX's dumpster, which not only takes up valuable space but makes it even more dangerous and strenuous to dig around in the dumpster, but if the weather is nice and you're in the neighborhood of the Boott Cotton Mills (100 Foot of John Street in Lowell, where the Boardinghouse Park outside stage is, across from Lowell High School) and you happen to be walking by the dumpster that's near the place where the trolley tracks go under the 4th story walkover bridge between the mill buildings by the canal, you might want to have a peek. And if you're in that neighborhood around noon tomorrow (Sunday) you might even be able to get inside the storage facility to have a look at what's still available. NOTE WELL: I am not an authorized representative of Mission Critical Linux and do not speak for them. I'm just reporting what I believe to be true on a channel where I believe it possible that interested parties might be listening.
