Sorry for the interruption in service

We got a notification of a security upgrade for the program that displays the ad in the upper right of every page. Downloaded the upgrade and it wouldn't run without upgrading the server. Well...this was a job for the $200 a month smart guys. The smart guys monitor the server and provide tech support such as this so I requested the server upgrade. As it turns out, the guy that monitors is not the tech support guy and they don't talk. The tech support guy took the server offline and during the upgrade the monitoring guy's alarm went off. The monitoring guy contacted the data center in Texas and had the server rebooted right in the middle of the upgrade. Jeeez...

I think these guys are all retired nuclear plant operators.
 
Wilbur,

I just did a server migration myself. A process that was supposed to be 24-72 hours turned into 240 hours+. When it was all done, the feature I did it for doesn't work for my purpose anyhow.

Ain't computers great...

That's known as the first Gates law of computing. :cool:
 
I'm currently doing router and switch upgrades/reconfigurations for a large company over in Europe. I upgrade 40-60 devices per day...... they don't run Bill Gates' "special" software either. :D

Phil,
You need the manual that explains all of the undocumented features of that software. It usually starts out by saying the documented features don't work as planned! Been there done that.

It's funny here Reagan, but not when you're beating your head on a desk trying to figure out why the documentation <> reality, all while remembering that incorrect documentation is actually more than you got from the competing product. (ie: This was the GOOD choice! :D )
