Misc. Ramblings

Sometimes, I really hate computers (and the software that run on them). Both our mail server and voice mail server are acting up. Mail sent on Sunday did not show up until 7:45am Monday morning. Then access to voice mail, both my own and others, is random, at best. Sometimes there is a very loud, annoying beeping sound. Sometimes there is silence. And sometimes it works. We really do rely on both these systems and having both go down, at what seems like random intervals, is very frustrating.

Now magnify that by a thousand times because we are drafting testimony that is time sensitive and you have the makings of a system meltdown. Or at least a human ware meltdown. Sigh.

I don't know what operating system(s) or software these two systems use but it needs to be fixed. I contacted our Information Technology Division but they apprently don't know why it's happening nor did they suggest a solution.

The bottom line, I guess, for both problems is we are just supposed to live with it.
