By afternoon we managed to get our main line back and i had to connect the server to the main line to get things back up and running. So there are all these power chords and extensions all over the place as the technican is re-wiring the damaged lines! The ceiling and what not is ripped from various places to allow access to the wires.
Basically the work place looks like it went through a mini war. And the technician is in front of me drilling the wall!!!!
WHAT THE HEY!!! :eek:
Anyway it was ammusing getting the servers and computer up and running and then have the power over load and then suddenly you hear nothing. You'd be surprised how much computers add to the background noise in an office place because when all the computers went off it was really really silent. Very odd. This company runs on its correspondance with its buyers and since the office lines have been out since 4pm yesterday and we couldn't get at least some power till this afternoon thats a lot of money on the line.
Anyway because its friday things are generally slow. And i'm sitting here at work bored because we have to be careful at not overloading the lines till the problem is fixed. I can't even have my server monitor turned on!!! Its that bad. We had take our color laser jet off line and move our other laser jet (HP 8000n) somewhere else where it won't load the lines to much.
What a day! and yet its very dull right now.
I shall rule you all!!!
ph34r!!!

Over here in OryGun we had a good windstorm, knocked power down all over town, tree's where flying, it was pretty good. People where acting like it was the end of the world. :)
Today I put in a HD in my roomies computer, pissed me off, Symantec's ghost PCDos bootdisk was giving me shitfits on larger partitions, after a few hours I got it all up and running, and now, here I sit attempting to get samba to work properly..... I got it working, but the passwords aren't working properly. :(

a blue screen in NT? don't the BF 'tards always harp on about how if you post you had a blue screen in NT you're a liar because only win9x has blue screens?
:biggrin:
I love the parallels you see here and at the BF. Basically what ever problems you guys post here at the BF would be 'pooh poohed'.
Its all really inane anyways.
Back to the point, i think i've had blue screens once long ago on my NT server but everthing has been working really well with all the service patches up to date and hardware following the HCL (except for one LAN card).
So how come you had a blue screen Duff?

NT-based OS's can blue screen. They can't BSOD -- Blue Screen Of Death. In NT-based OS's, blue screens can be recovered from fairly easily. In 9x it's a big problem.
Or maybe I'm a stupid fuck and have those reversed.

Unlike OS X where i've experience some really odd (and rare) freezes i have no idea whats causing it other then if i did something out of the ordinary. I have YET to experience a kernel panic that seems to effect the other OS X users.
So i don't look at bluescreens as a bad thing. Now teh irony as i said, the systems i put together myself with good hardware i haven't experienced any bluescreens with the exception of the ones i had on my server last year before i rebuilt the server.
No blue screens in Win2k on this dual piii 866 computer either. Not to bad seeing as i have a nvidia riva tnt card. :biggrin: its not a gaming rig and i just wanted some cheapy video card.

YOu can often work through them in 9X.

now i'm really confused. I was actually convinced that Blue screens were non-existent in NT. So it is?
A BSOD - or in technical terms, a kernel stop or a "stop" - happens when the Windows Engine decides it's more hazardous to go on that it is to just stop processing and frighten you with a stack dump. Normally this is when a driver has gone bonkers nutzoid and is trying to do something above it's privilige level.
In 9x, the "Bluescreen" is usually the Win9x boot loader freaking out - you've took a CD out and it's not kept track of it or system code has been corrupted or the stack has crashed. Limp crap like that.
They've "done things" to the stop screen in XP that I can't remember, and as I haven't had a stop yet (even in Beta Form) I don't know what it is. Maybe I'll grab Peter's program and try it out.

Still sucks to see, but at least it's "improved" ;)
