Ode to Destro

Destro was the first server at dreamhost. One could say it’s the father of dreamhost. Here is my Ode to Destro. Pardon the production quality, I did this from my bed this morning. I used my own CRM method (Cyclic Record Mix) to accomplish this, no editing software needed.

    You don’t happen to have a server named “Dr. Mindbender” do you? Or maybe an array called “Tomox and Xamot”?

    We do have a server named Zartan. It was originally meant to replace one of the several iterations of Destro but now they live on together.

    I think it’s an exhibit in the Smithsonian now.

    It hosts a bunch of old friends and stuff. My personal site and email are on destro. But it’s been given more than one new box since then. Even the chassis shown in Tavis’ bizarre little video isn’t the original…but it was destro when I started working here in 1999.

    Impressive! All that running from that little box! Can we get some stats on it?

    Disturbing Video, hopefully Destro will be given a proper send off once decomissioned.

    It’s hard to imagine Destro ever getting so sick that being “decommissioned” be its ultimate fate.

    When it goes, let it go quickly in a sparking sparkling blaze of bright orange and blue glorious fury of smoke and flame.
