The Life of Brian (or so it feels)
Life in London, Today.... No Comments »In the past two days:
Primary domain controller crash: Two out of our 3 drives in the RAID 5 array died leaving us with no data left. Dell were very helpful but there is nothing they can do. Everything gone. We’re still rebuilding and Exchange will not install. Active directory is luckily still up on a BDC but building this the server is turning into a bitch. On another note, no one in the office has email because exchange is down. Yum
Phone system crash: No outgoing calls which means no connection to HSBC (they require modem connections) . This also means that none of our clients can be paid.
Launch of new Accounting Engine: Going smoothly but added on top of the above we’re starting to show cracks in the good nature that is inherent in IT people.
One month until I get married: Lots to do, no time to do it - see above.
