Mine.

That server had ongoing problems, Friday is usually a quiet day, I have to watch it on Saturday anyway and if something goes wrong, the colo is closer to my house than work as well. Sorry about the forum downtime.

I performed an upgrade to a server in a prison back in october for one of our systems
and despite prior testing it went horrendously wrong.  I thought I'd fixed it when
I left, but got a 5am call the next morning and brought back in.
By the end of the day part of me was wishing I was an inmate (They at least got food)
and it was starting to feel like I had a longer sentance in front of me.

I've a further 3 systems to upgrade over the next couple of months.
If I disappear one day, then it's probably gone horribly wrong again
and i've got a life sentance with SQL Server.
