So let’s make the first post of 2009 in here. First of all: Happy new Year!
After updating Wordpress and the start of our new I-Mod Design I felt the impulse to post something,
so here it is:
Vacances, what a beautiful word - but there is the I-Mod server, who as of course a word to say in that issue…
We write saturday, the 31. January 2008 2009. After my weekly saturday-radiocast I had the glorious idea to carefully look after the status of our server. So I entered the URL to Plesk and the fun started:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function of_get_key_by_product() in D:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\admin\plib\common_func.php3 on line 4506
“Hurray!”, I thought, Murphy doesn’t want you to have vacances…
After11 hours wasted with fightinh against Windumb 2003 resignation captured me and I activated suddenly the Support of Keyweb. 3 hours later - we had 2 o’clock in the morning - I went dog-tired to bed.
“The next morning” I encountered a surprisingly happy awakening - Plesk was running! But the good feeling did not last for a longtime, because of the fact, that it did not the thing I wanted it do do - as the cherry on the cake with lots of cryptic Errors…the odysee of searching began…
So I fought till Tuesday, the 3th of February 2009 (4 days of my holiday!) against mailservercrashes, incompatibilites of AV-applications (Don’t for christ’s sake replace ClamAV by something other! Never!) and a moderate loose of files. All this fun only because Parallels seems do be to poor to spend some money in something equal to a so called “quality assurance”. Well, it seems to be the zeitgeist to bring unstable beta-version on the market, as also game publishers like Bethesda proof, who pleased us with a Fallout 3 which only made one thing reliably - crash. As my german teacher likes to say to this occasions: “Oh Times, Oh Morals!” (german: “Oh Zeiten! Oh Sitten!).
Whatever, I wouldn’t be the guy I am, when I couldn’t handle that. (Yes, I know: self-sraise stinks! But this time I really deserved it.) and can now (hopefully) begin to enjoy my freetime.
I wish all of you a stressless week and that you keep safe of that kind of farces.
