    Default I had to upgrade the server, the old one had a defunct OS...

    The old server served us for so long the operating system aged out and I had to move. This always causes problems because the database is so frickin' huge that the WHM "transition" option never works right and the people doing the move never notice. I told them to start at 1 AM on Friday when I should have said Saturday so the delay was my fault. Sorry about that.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I was expecting to be there and be able to tell them to please move my dbases... But they went and did it when I told them rather than what time I meant. I mean how are they not psychic?

    LOL I have a lot of customers at work who are like that. Mostly in the North East. Those New Englanders can get riled if you don't read their mind on a timely basis.
