Lightning Strike. 8/16/2004
We managed to get hit by lightning last week. By we, I mean this shithole of a portacabin that I have to call an office. The modem died, but more disastrously, the server went tits up. We now have no access to the database, which is essential for our daily work. Those of us on laptops can at least dial direct to the internerd using the built-in modems. But trying to access a server located in the city from a dial-up connection sucks. To all intents and purposes, the server might as well be on the dark side of the moon, for all the good it’s going to do us.
Smiffy made a call to ask when the server was going to be up, and the Sysadmin answered that he was in Hong Kong and would be back next Monday. Whoop-de-fucking-do. Might as well not come in to work.
