...it's dead, Jim.
May. 2nd, 2001 08:06 amThis place has turned into an extremely bad movie over the past two days. If Kubrick had worked at ISU...2001 An IT Odyssey would have been the ill dismissed substitute for his original masterpiece. Forget Hal, but Dave and Frank are still the procrastinators....er...I mean protagonists. What are you doing, Dave? They must overcome Amber, the University's main administration server as she unleashes technology's bound wrath by kicking the light for two and half days straight and ceasing the production of numerous departments and users.
Dave was here from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon, and Frank was here from yesterday morning to this morning trying to get the server's file system restored. They are both here now. They have no clue why it kicked the light, though they have stated that we are lucky that it doesn't happen more often. That's a unique perspective to say the least don't you think? Forget special effects...not even a sinister little red lens like Pylon's lj icon. This production is that bad. Settle for the amusement of watching Frank and Dave trying to find their asses with both hands as they wonder if they will soon be kissing them goodbye.
My unfortunate role is telling one hundred people each morning that the server is still fuct...with professional courtesy of course. I am also responsible for getting a full or incremental backup of each server nightly, so I would have been the third stooge if the restore media wasn't attainable. I retrieved the media immediately for them upon my arrival Monday night, and then exit, stage right...break a leg, guys. I have been nice and even shared my coffee with them...I want the server up so that I can use my e-mail...and get my livejournal reply notifications.
