All the planning and research last week paid off as with the additional time being the weekend, getting the borked system up and running back to normal went a lot smoother. There’s still some minor issues (one I had to put a ticket into because my backup service just wouldn’t work) but aside from those, it’s pretty much about back to where it was before all of this happened.
Ultimately ended up learning a lot more about the software that was originally on it, and what it all did, but even with all of the weekend time, it was still a very time consuming process. Saturday movie was Back to the Future: Part III as planned, and that was a really fun time. Hadn’t watched Part III in a very long time, but can appreciate all of the references and nods in it far more than I did in the past.
Not much else aside from that, just in the ‘waiting room’ for Patch 7.3 now – not exactly where I was planning on being (as opposed to 6.3 and 5.3), but it’ll work out. Still really busy and just tired all of the time now, but still have to keep fighting the good fights, no time for extra rest.
I think this weekend I might just attempt to get some extra rest and not try to pull another all-nighter trying to fix something. Happy Monday y’all! We got this, kick lots of tails!
