8 Weeks without D: Week 6

Days 26-30: 16-20/12/2013

Monday morning

• J back from holidays for a week. He has noticed that a new service is down and he doesn't have access to the machine to restart. Restart machine and add J to access list.
• F arrives in office; Portfolio site down again. Restart system - all good for about 2 minutes and then stylesheets and images stop being served. No useful log messages that I can find. Spend 30 minutes trying to work out what is wrong - no luck. Give up and restart web server in desperation - all good.

8 Weeks without D: Week 5

Days 21-25: 9-11/12/2013

Week of the Plone update: all went well

Also the week I have been diagnosed with hypertension and placed on medication.

Some shibboleth configuration files needed updating.

Don't think I had to restart the portfolio site but can't remember for sure.

8 Weeks without D: Week 4

Days 16-20: 2-6/12/2013

All a blur - no memory of disasters......

8 Weeks with out D: Week 3

Days 11-15: 25-29/11/2013

It's all becoming a blur - days are blending into one another. Must remember to keep better notes....

Finally decided I'd better do some research on the system patching that is coming up. There are 18 sites that need to be patched, consisting of 7 different versions of the software of which only 1 is at a check point version.

At this point I'm just hoping that everything goes smoothly!

Oh - and D is the fire warden for our section of the building and they have decided to have the annual fire drill next week. So I have been nominated replacement fire warden until D returns from leave. Red cap and fluro safety vest look quite fetching.
