Murphy's Law of Network Outage
My server (the one that hosts, among other things, the T-Files) was unreachable for two hours today. Not having made any backups (in-spite of having experienced my fair share of disk crashes recently), I naturally feared for the worst, but when it eventually came online again, the logs indicate no problem on the server itself, so I assume it was a network problem. But the timing was memorable: It went off-line ten minutes before the start of the meeting in which I was supposed to run a presentation off that server, and it came back ten minutes after the end of the meeting in which I was supposed to run a presentation off that server. I conclude that my server likes meetings even less than I do.
