If it aint broke, don’t fix it.
Ok, so a big woops on my part. I tried to update the server the other day. As you probably have guessed, I messed up. I miss typed a few things, left out a few things, and promptly rebooted the server. Whats wrong with rebooting you ask? Well, if the computer you are working on is located in a different state, behind locked doors, in a cabinet , then you might have a problem. Apparently the computer couldn’t find the right file to boot from, because i miss typed it. So it was just sitting there waiting for the “Any Key” to be pressed. I had to wait a whole day before someone could drive down there and manually restart the server for me.
So the lesson for today is, if it aint broke, don’t fix it. Maybe in a few months when I have more time to make sure I do everything correctly, I’ll try for an update.
