Repair a broken FireWire interface
I don’t mean this to sound snippy…but, if you can’t afford downtime, then you can afford sufficient redundancy so that something like this is an inconvenience to you and unnoticeable to anybody else. It’s really a management / finance decision. Hardware will fail; software will need to be upgraded; servers will need to be rebooted. If you’re on a tight budget, then it’s been decided (knowledgeably and intelligently or otherwise) that the resulting downtime is cheaper than the equipment necessary to avoid the downtime. If that’s not actually the case, then whoever makes those kinds of budget concerns needs to re-evaluate the situation. Cheers, b&

TrumpetPower, you are absolutely in the right. But gosh you sound snippy. If I find myself typing "I don't mean to sound..." it's a warning: Walk away from the keyboard!
"Snippy"
I dunno, it didn't sound snippy to me, just factual. Nature is cruel; business is unforgiving. The old adage "The show must go on!" is about Broadway being not art but business. And downtime happens: My online banking site suddenly stopped supporting Safari a few days ago, and they're still "working on it."
circumstances beyond my control
well, i agree redundancy is a great idea -- even necessary -- to keep businesses afloat. |
