Redundant Power Supply

Or perhaps at least an independant generator?!?
WTF?!?
Some fool drove a car through a phone pole last night, about 4 blocks away
from work, and it killed the whole town.
Now I have to mop up all the records from the 6 or 7 batches that ran last
night -- oh, and since SQL Server is scheduled to back it self up at 3 am,
that never happened either. So mopping up the batches is taking bloody ages
because they're now running the stupid backup in the middle of the work day
with all the users online. I think the bosses here are all retards.
Peace & happy computing,

Very soon you will see experts discussing about the origin, development
accuracy and inaccuracy of gov. systems, power management, generators blah

You would think.
But I'm a developer, not a DBA, and if I started messing with replaying
transaction logs, (I don't even have the authority to do so) I would
probably make the system worse.
This company refuses to hire a DBA (?!?) and the clowns over in MIS can
barely spell "SQL".
So we are currently re-running all the batches. I have like five copies of
the application on my machine running concurrently, and I'm getting really
bored looking at progress bars.
Thank God for code that has "indempotency".
I'm a peace-loving man, but I really hope the idiot that drove through the
power pole got hurt real bad.

ROFLMAO! If you were here for a single day, you would either laugh at
everyone, or beat everyone with a keyboard, and then fax them a very large
invoice.

Hi Mike,
I think that he has gotten enough punishment already, having has car
wrecked and all.
And you can't hold the poor chap responsible for your company having no
UPS and no proper recovery procedure.
(Maybe you should hope that some managers happen to be walking just in
front of a power pole next time... :-)
Best, Hugo
