I'm glad you can count?

Well I can't see any other reason for your comment unless you were just trying to be a pain in the ass.

Maybe it was an impression ?

Of who, we have a lot of pain in the asses here.

I'm pretty good at discerning the tone of most posts. His seemed to be an innocent offhand comment.  Superfluous to your original comments to be sure, nonetheless it was a neutral toned post.

I'd rather see AIG's data centers get back online before free trade coffee houses.

AIG and every other company everywhere should have failover data centers in a different geographic region.

Of course, most probably can't even do nightly backups right.

My hotel room has a private roof deck with chaise lounges. Definitely different from what I was in last night!

Now I'm on a bus. Feeling like Cinderella.

Should.  SHOULD.

My Dad finally heard from his Uncle Paul in Staten Island.  Some buddies from the VFW came to get him.

The Japanese couldn't kill him, he wasn't worried about a hurricane.

Ya know, it annoys me how many places are like this.  It's not like that's CCP-level work- every freaking A+ student has to know good backup policy, and yet virtually no company I've come across does it correctly.  You think that's corner-cutting, laziness, or just stupid, willful ignorance?

It's purse string holders not understanding how their companies work.

Tubes! It's just Tubes!

Yup, like GF says, it's the MBAtard bean counters that determine the final outcome.  YOU WANT US TO SPEND HOW MUCH ON SOMETHING THAT *MIGHT* HAPPEN????

Us worker bees just try to fit a round peg into a square hole the best we can, and try not to look snarky when we show them the email from 2 years earlier, saying, "yeah, this is when we told you this would happen".

You'd love it here.  With the attention we pay to disaster recovery & whatnot it has to take up about a third of our budget.

Alas, so did we.  That shit ended quick.  Shareholder value and whatnot.

And here I sit, managing my own disaster recovery.

My production environment could sink into the ocean and I'd have it all back online in less than 45 minutes. Virtual environments are the shit.

But, for people like AIG with massive infrastructure needs, I don't think they can be nimble enough to convert everything that fast. They probably have banks of old-school mainframes that can't be mirrored and stuff like that.

People are bitching that Bloomberg is kicking refugees out of hotels to make room for marathon visitors.

[Grey Fox]

How can they have that Marathon. Staten Island is barely out of the water.
