Reply to: My Server is Down

Unfortunately I remembered that I have downloaded a server version last week, not up to date, but workable with - and stupidly I mentioned this to the boss, hence they are expecting me to work

Ah b*gger!

No work? Give up, go home, come back tomorrow, bill for the day, come back tomorrow & repeat. - Boomed!

'My Server' is Down. Wow you own their Server hardware, impressive.

[SandyDown]

Bus B undervolt.

And it's a good day to die, as my furrow foreheaded colleagues are wont to say...

No what I meant is what a Labor spin Dr (JO MOORE) said, describing September 11 as a "very good day" to bury bad news

All my work is on a server that is based in Houston!! the server was down since Friday...

Admin by EDS by any chance?

Guess you are clever and am not

I seriously doubt that!

[SandyDown]

Odd that. I do a lot of programming work (about 50% of my time), never work late, and application server configurations are for the technical cave-trolls in the basement.

Once good thing about Houston going down is that all managers are busy trying to sort things and looking into the recovery plan.... as one spin Dr once said, today is a good day to...errrr (oh forgot what am I supposed to do in such a day, but gather to give bad news)

[NotAllThere]

I ditched being a code monkey for years now - don't want to go back to it really, I want to have a life mate... no more staying late hours to fix a stupid bug, no more worrying about application server configurations blah blah blah...

Come on people - where's the 'Houston, we have a problem' !!??

Jeez...

oh there is no mirror server as the work on this server was not considered business critical

Judging by your comment on the Gurkha thread sandy, I very much doubt that any of your work has ever been considered "business critical". I expect your continued employment has more to do with your coffee-making skills than your initiative and enterprise. Can you suck a golf ball through a garden hose I wonder?

We'll see what happens, may be a miracle would save me.

Maybe Allah is punishing you for your sins

All my work is on a server that is based in Houston!! the server was down since Friday... dunno what to do, don't want to call the poor admins in Houston, they probably have enough on their hands with all damage to their houses and no power or water, only am running out of things to do...

Many years ago I was working at City Bank. A nerd in the US changed the system board in the master DS and time server and he did not set the time on the new board so it ran with the default date (1980?). There was no external time source to correct this and the global network and transaction times on all servers were all reverting back causing lockouts and database inconsistencies. We unplugged the LAN in the UK preserving our servers integrity the twats in the US still left their master serving connected and running trying to correct the error.
