The network is back again. Yesterday they had:
1. VPN failure (someBob "tweaked" the software)
2. An IBM board went pop with no redundancy, pulling down 3 servers that affected everywhere outside the US to varying degrees of tulipness.
3. No tapes were harmed.

Reminds me of the time that a large ISPs live reports were deleted from the system.
Unfortunately the tape machine was actually broken (?!) so no back ups were being made.

They had to rely on my own personal memory stick back up, to get the Live environment re-instated

I feel normal today. I've even done exercise.

Three months ago: "No, that will never happen."

Today: "It goes wrong when that happens."

Hmm yep told you so 3 months ago....

Three months ago: "No, that will never happen."

Today: "It goes wrong when that happens."

I'm good at predicting what will happen, far in advance, usually totally ignored at the time.

Quite funny watching them run around when they are reactively trying to fix it, rather than do it properly in the first place .

Was asked earlier to change a slidedeck to add a point as "expert" wanted it in there.

End client argued the point and has shown me that the "expert"'s solution isn't worth the paper its written on.

Person who told me the expert's comment needed to be in there is now left with the task of sending my previous slidedeck out as the latest version.

In other pointless political games - the data upload that was on hold last week is back on tonight as a matter of priority...
