One of my responsibilities at work is the backup of our servers, someone once said to me priority for backups is:-

1) All Directors and Managers data
2) Anything to do with incoming money
3) Anything you can use later on (True BOFH style - those in the know will know who I mean)
4) User data

Still enters my head when we have a backup failure on one of the robotic libraries.  

LOL - I remember one of our bigger libraries (70 odd LTO2 drives, thousands of tapes) started smoking one day....   ....talking about panic to get the tapes out before it burned (fortunately it didn't catch fire).

For some unknown reason my Ipod has reflashed itself ( some techies at works terminology) meaning ive lost everything apart from the last 4 DJ mixes i downloaded on Saturday. I have two years of music on this. Or had.

And the reason this transpired at work is due to attempting to put some music on as our dialler system has an outage with resolve time - ?unknown?

Means i have 100 staff sitting about not doing anything...

Grrrrrrrr

Precisely why I refuse to have an Ipod - the DRM implementation means that the slightest glitch on Apple's servers equals Game Over.

Hence I stick to standard MP3/WMA players, and keep my collections on a hard disk...

Shame I couldn't stay for the group pic   but at least I got my heating sorted  

And how was that fixed then Bo Bo ;

It was either a) The same way my fogs were fixed, or b) Timbuk's rule #1 and Mark's bible like EP.

Speaking of, did Pete & Mrs. EP scarper in the middle of the night?  Don't remember seeing them this morning.

They left early, just after I got up.  He said he had to go before someone disabled his car again

Ford Orion Ghias used to have them in the 80s.  Never worked that well, as the shape of the screen is all wrong for wiper.

The wipers are fitted to estates/hackbacks to remove dirt and grime which this shape car (esp the steeper rear designs) attracts.

Wow, Mark! Haven't we come on in the last year. Good work mate

Not really, the oil cooler I can do. But a MASSIVE thanks must go out to James for getting the head of dads 2.2, no WAY could i have got that off on my own.

From someone who this time last year couldn't change the oil?  You do not give yourself enough credit...

Yeah, it will.  I've filled the Rover up with fuel, so she'll have to fill the MV6. Right up to the brim

Got home at 1800. Clear road in front of us although I did notice there was quite a bit of traffic in the rear view mirror.  

Mentioned elsewhere, great weekend, great company, Mavis was a bit scary but we got over that. I'm sure this would be a good venue for future meets.

Nursing a bit of a sore head now and just feeling disappointed that it's all over. Hopefully see you all again in the near future and that loads more can come next time.

I agree with both of those statements!

I'm sat here, 7pm on a Sunday evening, drinking SOFT drinks  

Bath time then TB......with laptop....and a few tinnies   That'll sort ya out  

Done the bath and the laptop. And dropped the bloody thing - fortunately not in the bath but on the floor. The keyboard is looking very poorly
