Sorry to hear about the bad news, I hope your sister gets a better job soon. That's what she needs.

I'm truly sorry, Kevin.
I hope everyone is doing OK. I've been awfully busy as my signature says - but it pays me off well. I've increased my grades significantly, and soon I'm going to look for a higher Education Examination Programme within Economics. The error-debugging sections seems perfect as it is right now. The people that are there are getting a good hang of it, and it seems they pick on a lot of unanswered threads, awesome.
Will I be more active for the time being? I can't say, maybe. It depends on the current situation. And the current situation is still busy. Enough about me, how are all of you?

Today.....the day finally came.
After a debacle last week, our servers at work, and the inventory that they "lost" are now fixed.
Not happy with the new servers that we put into use only a couple months ago.
We were told that there was no way what happened could happen. Then it actually happened...and they said "oh, well that's impossible", until they came and saw it for their self.
To put it simply, the servers are mirrored, also backed up on drives, plus backed up on a tape drive. Well, when the main server had an issue in one tiny ass file and something was wrong, there was no way to get the other server to take over operations because it DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME MESSED UP FILE and saw that as something wrong. Ummm, that's the whole point of being mirrored for the programs we use. Of course, the last 2 backups that were automatically made were worthless. So after 4 days of being completely dead, we ended up having to go back a full day before it went down. Lost in total about 4 days worth of info, including all payroll, inventory, invoicing, and any other paperwork that would be done in that time period.
Countless hours of overtime, fixing this, and fixing that, I am done for the week...about damn time.
Sorry to hear that. 4 day-fixing up server is quite unusual. But glad you made it, and hope it won't happen again. :)
It would be one thing if they were old, or if it was a pure hardware failure, but they're only 2 months old blade servers. Also, just as a comparison, since our company isn't big(it's mostly local) our old servers were of the tower type. Roughly 10 years old, yet they worked. As the software got more complex, they got slower and slower and just couldn't keep up good anymore.......but we never had any major problems. Backups always worked fine when needed, and there were some scary moments, but nothing like this. It just gets me how they said "that can't happen"......but it did.
So...now i'm sitting on a laptop at home. You'd think i'd learn and want to stay away from computers for a couple days, but nooooo.....lol.
I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day. Also I have just gone for a part-time Retail Assistant job at Vodafone in Tunbridge Wells.
I thought today was my lucky day. Got small bottle of perfume, a gift from friend who just back from Paris. When I get home my wife said, "That's a perfume for lady..!"
Guess who was lucky then?
