Aren't they the best? Not spoken to one in a over a year, but I accidently managed to corrupt a Sybase database today ::)
Maybe because I physically rebooted a blade I should not have done :-X
Despite swearing black and blue at my screen it could not get the database back.
So an old work mate is popping by at 7:30 tomorrow morning to help me fix it! :o :y
Was getting worried, if this system could not be restored, my little job on the side would be no more. But hopefully it will be back and billing some chavs by lunchtime :D ;D

Common in all walks of business, but IT related jobs seem to especially attract this sort of Solidarity.
I had to call up an old buddy a couple of days ago that I hadn't spoken to in about 3yrs, because I'd broken something :-[ ;D

Its called 'friendship'. They are proper friends ;)
I know I'm blessed to have many friends who will drop anything to help if I hit the panic button, and for those, I'll do likewise ;)

friends who will drop anything to help
::) Their trousers? :P

You've clearly met my mate Darth Loo-knee then ;D

Thought at first you were referring to the Black & Decker ones. To be honest, I never found them much use in an IT context.
Mind you, nor were most of the human ones... :)

I don't know, they are useful to lay a misbehaving PC/Server on, and thrash it until it behaves or dies...

No :'(, but Percy Pickaxe and Charlie Clubhammer are normally more than happy to stand in...

What about Left 'Red' Foot and Right 'Swollen' Boot? ;D

Yet again I am completely lost by this tech speak! Sounds tricky though ;D

Can undersand. Sometime they are the salt of the earth and at other times, they can be seen far enough and make you wonder why you spent the candle trying tommake them into longterm 'friend' possibilities.........

Well she came in, fixed it in around 40 mins! Fantastic :)
Trouble is although database is back, I still can't get the system to work. The company i used to work for is down to 5 people now, I'm doing the jobs of about 10 people.
I have root access to boxes I really should not be messing with ;D
Going to try dialling in again tonight.
On the upside I was allowed to expense beer for everyone helped me so far, it turned out to be a rather heavy night :-X
I've also learnt loads of new Linux stuff, being on my own, I'm forced to understand new things and work problems.
I used to only just dabble, restarting JBoss on RedHat was about as hardcore as I went, but now I'm rebooting the entire servers & services, full access to server room :D

Imagine my dilema. Full root to several thousand Solaris, HPUX and Linux servers, and full Admin to several thousand Windows servers. Mad fools ;D
My problem comes from remembering to change heads between Windows and *nix/Linux servers. del *.* doesn't do too much unsuspecting damage to a Windows box, but rm -rf *.* in any directory is pretty dramatic on a *nix/Linux box. Apparently ::)

On the upside, after 10 years, they have at last removed by NetWare account at the top of the NDS tree... ...took them long enough to notice I haven't done NetWare support since around 1999 ::)
