Here in lies the problem. Hal has a different listed Burfday to Smeggy.
One is in November and the other is January 12 and I’m not telling who’s is who’s. :p

Not to sure about that
by hal 9000 · about 11 years, 4 months ago
In reply to I also believe
But here yesterday there was good soaking rain which will help the grass grow.
Of course the down side, where I was working is that with no soaking rain for a long time and a blocked down pipe the phone system produced lots of [b]Magic Smoke[/b] and if I wasn’t there the server would have as well.
Now I wonder if they will be open today and if I’ll actually get the job done. :^0

Magic smoke…hehe…
by Wizard57M-TR · about 11 years, 4 months ago
In reply to Not to sure about that
used to give people a hard time when they would call for help
with their PC, saying it smelled burned, and smoke came out
the vents…”Well, I’m afraid your computer has lost its Magic
Smoke. If you weren’t able to capture the Magic Smoke in a
bottle or bag, I can’t put it back, and you’ll have to purchase
new sealed components that still have their Magic Smoke.”

In reply to sigh
Not going to happen here, it’s a terrible weekend and getting worse by the nanosecond.
I’m just about to go to the local Quacks and load up their server with a 64 Bit OS that supports their Medical Program as the old 32 Bit version has now reached the end of it’s useful life and the SQL D Base is consuming 2.8 GIG of RAM out of the 3.25 that is available to the 32 Bit OS.
The server is under 6 months old and the Medical App within the past week has just been certified for a 64 Bit OS and just to keep life interesting I don’t know which OS I can use as I have yet to see the Specifications for the Program and the place is open all weekend.
I can describe things in quite a few ways and it’s defiantly not going to be Boring but Happy it’s most defiantly not. 😉

I assume you’re not going to be able to do an upgrade in place.

And that you’re stuck with a complete re-installation of OS and apps.
Good luck.

In reply to I assume you’re not going to be able to do an upgrade in place.
We have rain here today and it’s been a long time since we have had any rain. [i]So is this what happens when the [b]Cloud[/b] has a security breach?[/i]
The down pipe is blocked and water is now running into where the server was. This started just after the reinstall started and I pulled the power and yanked the server out of it’s home to some place much dryer.
Took the rest of the day off while they fix the building up and then I can go back tomorrow hopefully and start all over again from scratch. Good thing I have heaps of time and don’t have to have this fixed till Monday when they are busy. :^0

In reply to what’s a life??? nothing related to IT -nt
Apparently constantly getting more work than you can do and being expected to constantly pull Rabbits out of the Hat by making things work the way that the Execs want is Bullying.
Seems that what I considered as Normal IT Work is actually bullying of the poor Computer Tech.
Now if I can figure out who to sue I may be able to retire and not be in a position of being asked to do the impossible immediately ever again.
Seems that these Educators didn’t consider people in IT when they framed their questions. :^0
