It's been a bad week all in all although things are getting better but I could have done without the expense of sorting out IT and now doubling it just in case. Once bitten twice shy they say but this was quite a psychological hit considering I really thought that I'd nailed the backups and storage etc.
I felt bad yesterday knowing that I'd get the PC back but not certain about whether the Server would kick back to life. It didn't but I was able to revive it and an upload of the last firmware release did the trick thank goodness. Later this weekend there will be three servers and UPS sets so let's hope that I've learnt my lessons!
Of course the gates are givig me trouble yet again. The cold weaher must have frozen the brackets and made the gates work and now they've defrosted, the issue is back but I can see the drive bracket moving and so I've ordered some bolts and nuts (can you believe among the hundreds I've got, not one fits!).
So I woke at 4 am and my mind was alive with realising that I DO have nuts and bolts spare as I have the second set of gates equipment! Oh FFS and of course they are made for it. Anyway, I will go and do that while I am waiting for the IT stuff. Then my mind kicked in about how to use the spare bays I have for Memory for the PC then I need to get some other stuff sorted - I have three old PCs that I need to get rid of and I know a nice man who recycles them. I could I suppose sell the MAC, I'll see if hey are going for reasonable money - it's a big and heavy beast of a machine.
Other than that, I can now get back on to my newsletters, accounts and getting the App tested.
My head though is pretty bad and I am certain that it is caused by the stress of this week and the IT problems. Let's hope that after tomorrow I will be secured, I'd hate to go through that again!
