No, no, no, no, no. Server crashes are bad, and MUST NOT HAPPEN.
They are not an excuse for saying what a good job the admins do - the fact that the bloody thing went tits up is a sign we (in this case, me) are not getting something right.

Bugger ive got say sorry to Virgin now :-[

and sadly seem to be happening a bit too frequently (though that is the first for a few weeks)...

No worries here. Helen kept me company on the phone while the site stopped & started again! 8-)

TB - last week you made me feel a bit embarassed about my non functioning fan switch. (Only a bit, to be fair).
Well let me return the compliment.
I have here 2x500 meg matched DIMMs (233 MHz) that are yours for the asking,
And a Dell XPS 640 with 1 gig of RAM, 2 x 150 gig SATA HDs and a Nvidia RAID controller. (The b*stard fans in it are so agressive that it will keep your printer free of dust and dry Mrs TBs hair in short time too.... ;D)
You are welcome to either or both if it helps.

I didn't even notice TB.......................as I was asleep!! :D ;)

Well in that case TB, then yes it was all your fault, and don't let it ever happen again, otherwise you will have me to answer to ;D ;D ;D :D :-* :-* :-* :-*

What on earth did you do to warrant an apology to virgin/ntl? Blowing up all the call centres would get you a medal in my book...
Dont worry TB, we know youll sort it.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall though... Dont paniiiiiic...! Cids, soldering irons, and dust flying everywhere... ;D

Thanks for generous offer, but its crap disk controllers that I reckon are the root cause of the outages :'(
Current server spec is Core2 Quad 2.4G, 4Gb RAM, and a pair of 320Gb disks hanging off a really nasty RAID controller...

Ah, you too noticed all the dust on the printer in that photo I posted up ;D
I 'power cycled' (its a VM, so not real power cycle) VM from downstairs based on the fact:
a) too lazy to walk upstairs
b) knew there was bits of NCDC and CID, along with ROVER 25 CLOCK/DISPLAY scattered across the server's keyboard

Like the crappy Dell PERC we had at work. Quietly went round corrupting bits of the volume without a murmur that anything was wrong. >:(
Keep meaning to dig it out of my junk drawer and "educate" it.
