Well work sucks this week.
Saturday was a database server migration that went pretty well, we had a couple of un-documented applications that didn't work at first but everything appears to running now, fortunately these were not core business apps.
Very laet Sunday night the disk controller failed in our email server and that took a day and half a night to recover so Monday was a right off.
Tuesday was spent finding out about all the small things that went wrong at the weekend, all the users who had direct connections set up on their PC's pointing to the databases adn couldn't email us on Monday. We also had another system failure in this weird little application that does some printing for us. This program is mission critical, sits on a dodgy old PC, has not been clearly documented and is not backed up. This took all day to get fixed and was the cause of much angst in the office.
Today I am going to discuss the option of delaying our business applciation replacement project for 6 months so that we can focus on fixing these other applications that are undocumented, insecure, on flaky hardware but our key applications to the business.
Am get a little anxious about the race now, need to get my diet back on track this week and load up as well as finish getting the bike sorted and myself organised.
