Back in the office after a long weekend. That’s always a mixed blessing. On the one hand, there are the mental pressures of Things that Need Doing which can finally be released. On the other hand, it means getting up at 5 a.m. and dealing with … well, the stuff they actually pay me to do.
Last week we had a major server melt-down in the office — two RAID drives on the main NetWare server going bad, which turned out to be actually a bad SCSI cable to the backplane. Non-NetWare services weren’t affected, though, so no major impact on me.
On the other hand, this morning, with most NetWare services back up, our e-mail is running veeeerrrryyyy slowly, and usually timing out after 5 minutes or so of hitting it. Since e-mail is about 90% of what I do and/or how I do it, this is a Bad Thing.
Looks to be one of Those Weeks.
