OK … so I was in at work on the weekend … big move … we were shuffling a large number of servers from one building to another … and the ones which were remaining were getting thrown into new a new rack configuration … so effectively we moved an entire data centre … no small task right?

Then we had a problem with one of the two main Toronto mail servers … it lost all the data for every mail file in Toronto … <sigh>

So I spent a large portion of Sunday and Monday trying to fix that and recover from tape … so what’s my reward? Getting some kind of illness which resembled food poisoning … can’t say for sure if that’s what it actually was as I didn’t get to eat much over Sunday and Monday … I’m only just now starting to get some of my strength back, and my stomach feels like it’s been doing crunches for three days straight …

So when I get back to the office with what little strength I have? It’s tapped to solve all the various complications of the server crash from the weekend … <double sigh>

So yes … send your sympathy and condolences right on to me … I need them all … clearly …

And no … the server crashing was NOT my fault … despite any historical precedences which some of you might refer to …
