tales from an ordinary world

1999-04-04

It's been a fairly robotic weekend - I spent part of Thursday evening, all of Good Friday and Easter Saturday, and some of today, upgrading one of our main mail servers at work - I had to do it this weekend because it was going to take so long, and for most of that time people wouldn't be able to read mail (and you know how much everyone's going to like that...). I don't know why this time was any different to other out-of-hours upgrades I've done, but I'm feeling really shagged out now. But it's all done now, and I can rest. It was pretty cool how a few people actually noticed that I was going to be spending my weekend doing all this, and sent me good wishes and stuff. It always makes a difference...Of course, there's always the other side of the coin - while I was on my way in on Saturday morning, someone called me, asking "is there a problem with mail ?".
