Amateurs talk Servers......

Had a crappy day? Think your only friend is the dog? Got fired? Someone piss in your Wheaties? Just need to blow off some steam and rant? Here's the place to do it. No judgement, maybe some sympathy, possibly some advice... but definitely a safe place to go off on the world.

.......Professionals talk Storage

Does anyone remember that in FWIS 2.0 I bitched about an idiotic customer that was blaming me for a data-center disaster they had for New Year 2013?

Well, they're back. This time their storage sub-system apparently has a big problem, and it took down 4 servers that handle all their apps (along with 2 that had non-critical stuff on it).

Since we currently have no obligation to them (they didn't renew their support contract and the Monitoring system I set up for them died 3 months ago and they never replaced it). They can't blame it on me. They know they have a major hardware problem, one they had been warned about multiple times, and now it's type to pay the piper.

Welcome to the bajadita bitches.

How do you say "Nan, nan, I told you so" in Spanish?

An approximate trasnlation would be "Ledo Ledo, Te lo Dije!" :P

sigma, sigma, sigma. there you go again, being logical. (and who could forget that customer?) of course he can blame you. and i'll bet he already has. you weren't clear. you didn't emphasize this or that. of course it's your fault. after all, you're the professional.
and still i persist in wondering whether folly must always be our nemesis. edgar pangborn

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare

All too True, too bad that they couldn't use it as a negotiation tactic, they had to pay up this time :)
