HITB: The problems never end...
If it's not one thing, it's another! The hard drive for our gateway server that does the routing etc for the site has died. Well not completely but it's going to die in the next 24 hours I'm sure. Eitherways, we're working on getting a new HDD as soon as possible and rebuilding everything from scratch. Needless to say, we're going to have to bring the boxes down and the site is going to be inaccessible for at least 36 to 48 hours. I plan on bringing the machine down at exactly 8pm MYT (about 12 noon GMT) on Monday 1st of April 2002. No, this isn't an april fool's joke (although I wish it was). I for one am certainly not looking forward to the prospect of rebuilding everything from scratch but thankfully, we've got some backups so all is not lost.
On a sidenote, don't EVER buy Seagate hard drives. They're totally fscked up! I think this is the 3rd Seagate I've bought that died on me! Certainly says something about their quality control (or it's non exsistence).
