    Oddly during a basic server update, the site went down. Sorry

    No clue as to why yet. Still trying to figure it out. If you see any issues on the site please let me know.

    That's not bad but Wildblue/Exede/Viasat satellite service has been down since 5AM that I know of. Talk about panic mode. I'm using my mobile hot-spot and getting along just fine. Tried calling and got a busy signal, wonder why....

    I thought it was me. I was reading the funny pictures thread about 4:45 am this morning and clicked the next page and it stopped, I guess the Internet didn't think they were very funny.

    I took over one outfit and we had about a 1000 computers etc we supported. The staffing on help desk was eyeball deep in people. I used to tell the Mgr that he had more people on the help desk than we have people we supported.

    I have always followed a rule: Any issue, any update always get a 2-reboot sequence. I was able to reduce staffing on help desks in most cases over 50% when that is given as the first command on and intake call. What I called "take 2 aspirins and call me if it doesn't make you feel better" thinking!

    A valid approach for Windows computers and 90% of printer problems.

    Personally, I got so spoiled when my Officers first got computers and everything, from the laptops to the servers, was 100% Unix. That was about the time I moved from field Officer work to back-end support because I was a mediocre field officer and I thought computers were the future.

    The full staff of server sysadmins, desktop/deskside support, and continuing training for a staff of 300 old-line, often computer-phobic field Officers was 2 people. We used to joke that we only had enough work for 1.5 people so there was never any problem for anyone taking vacation time; we could always cover for each other. We literally left the server room and went walkabout once a week, stopping into every group, asking every manager if they had any computer problems, anything we could make work better, any issues they'd like for us to explain in a presentation at their next group meeting.

    My heart was filled with pity for the Windows-using side of the house.

    The first computer that sat on my desk that was not a terminal from mainframe or DEC was a Sun Workstation in early '85 when I got promoted to Project Mgr for Software Dev. My first Wondoze machine was in 1996 which was in terms of use like trying to unlearn how to ride a bicycle, what a convoluted, crude, archaic OS...

    Zilog terminals, a dual 8-inch floppy computer on my desk, (later) the copy of 2600 that was always in my drawer...you're bringing back memories.
