...and there's the usual rush and flurry of things to catch up on. Going away for a while has always been a point of interest to me. Our main server went down (I suspect in the past 24 hours as no one contacted us about a problem and Sunday is traditionally our light traffic day), along with one of our other servers (ditto). I'm talking with our server guys right now about it.We installed a new email server the day I left for vacation and I returned home to discover I could receive emails but not send them. I've already talked with our email guy about that one.
And KBar sent me something to let me know that my situation could be worse:
This is an excerpt from a conversation I saw on an IRC channel this morning:
<+Kurin> We paid like $70K to wire all the doors with RFID scanners
<+Kurin> Which for a business of 25 people is a lot
<+Kurin> And it all gets managed by one central server that goes down about twice a week
<+Kurin> And of course they took all the keys back and set the doors to permanently lock
<+Kurin> once it was rolled out
<+Kurin> Of course the server room is RFID locked as well
<+Kurin> So whenever it goes down they have to break in
<+Kurin> although I think after the last time they found a key
Ah...thanks. I needed a laugh...
