miller60 writes "The facilities team at Australia's Pipe Networks is down to the wire in its bid to complete a data center in 60 days.

Their goal is to complete the job by Friday morning eastern US time."

Sorry mods, nothing insightful about the parent. Informative perhaps, but certainly not bearing any insight.
