      Either HAL or Smeg, but not both! We’re not here to reward schizophrenia. 😀

        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 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.

          by charliespencer ·

          In reply to PS

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

          Good luck.

          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

          I started work this morning with 52 hours on the clock

          In reply to sigh

          Put in 12, and going back out tomorrow. With anything remotely resembling luck (yes, that loud knocking noise is me!) it will be less than 8 hours.

          Love the paycheck, but jeez, I’d like to have a life or something…

          I actually did a Survey this week on Work Place Bullying

          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

          life in IT is limited to the small space between working and working some more.

          Oh, I know

          In reply to You should know by now

          But it’s always fun to be surprised. Had one of [u]those[/u] days today. Started in Columbia, then got to drive to Sylvania, then home. Five hours of driving to replace an effing Cat 5 cable! [b]After[/b] I was directed to replace the router before even performing basic troubleshooting! 🙁

          Sometimes I hate dealing with the NOC.

          But at least it was a nice weather.

          Made good time, too, until I got to Allandale, when the fog started rising. By the time I got to the river, it was all the way up. I think I might have averaged 40 mph the last 20 miles.

        Is being a Bully I would suggest going straight to the Authorities and reporting him.

        I bet they completely ignore your complaint though. 😀

        Thanks Wiz.

          That’s a drawback to working for yourself, hehe! No place or person
          to blame other than the one in the mirror! (And people wonder why
          I talk to myself!?!@#@) 🙁

          Not to mention you have the worst boss possible in the world and can get away with nothing as they know exactly when you are trying to pull a swifty on them. 😉

          There aught to be laws against Bosses like that. 😉
