I do not need your crap Lumpy.  You have no idea what happened.

What could be recovered has been recovered.  As to eactly what happened.  it was a fluke involving an electrician installing another UPS system. An accident that was completely unavoidable.

Skuzzy, it's ALWAYS the electrician's fault. 

We rebuilt here after a fire about 2 years ago.  Before that, I had CAT-5 running haphazardly around the place in a very ugly and ghetto fashion, but it worked.  The boss wanted me to design the layout for the network in the new building once it was time (awesome time for some CAT-6).  I did what he asked, but then he insisted that the electricians do all the wiring (as they were pulling all the electrical stuff anyhow).  That was fine with me, as I had my hands full trying to recover data from smoked (literally filled with smoke from the fire) HDD's.

When it was time to move in, I brought all the new computers in to the building and hooked them up.   NO-GO!
All the wires were in the right places and all landed in a central data "closet" like I had asked.  Problem was that ALL data ports in EVERY room had the punch-downs installed in exact REVERSE order than in the data closet.  Even worse,  he had hardly left any slack to play with. 

So... never trust the electrician.   :lol

Hey!@ I resemble that remark!!!
Back in the late 80's I crawled through the ceilings of the NORQEB head office in Townsville running cables and soldering 100's of RS232 connections for their network when I was doing my electrical engineering degree.
Why wasn't CAT5 around wheN I needed it?

Could be worse. ThePlanet here in Houston had an electrical explosion over the weekend. It blew out the walls of the power room and took down 9000 servers run by 7500 customers, including mine.

I kinda feel bad for their techs. Most people know within minutes when one of their boxes is down. Now when the box is down and support isn't answering because there's no power to... anything... you get a lot of very angry people.

I swear, I was suffering from withdrawal symptoms while the boards were down.

Good work Skuzzy!  My hands have stopped shaking and the tic is almost gone!   ;)

How long did it take for the hand shaking to go away?

Thanks for all the hard work you guys did getting the boards back up.  You guys rock.   :rock

The withdrawals were not pretty.

Skuzzy,

Thanks very VERY much for bringing it back. I don't have a job so I didn't have menial work to go back to...... :D That made the loss of the board very intense.  :(

As for those who decided to step on Skuzzy's last remaining nerve and pitch a fit, toodleoo we won't miss ya.

Ok, we're at 4 now.  And I have no idea who that was.  Clue?
