New offices

Moving into new offices are never easy, but I must admit that I was totally unprepared for this experience.

We ordered 3 new pc's, one of them our development server. We specified that we wanted Seagate hard drives and not Maxtor hard drives, but apparently hardware people always knows what's best.

So after setting up our pc's, we found out that the wrong hard drives were installed. After this, we had to call up the hardware guys and let them install Seagate hard drives (we did this to keep our network admin sane - he hates Maxtor), this meant we had to install everything from scratch, never fun.

We decided to make our new network totally wireless - who needs the hassle of wires? It's now almost 8 hours later, and I still haven't managed to get a pc onto the wireless network. All the clients can detect my wireless network, but as soon as I try to join them  to the network, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 freeze.

So now I'm busy with a hopeless search for better drivers.

On top of all that my laptop is acting up and blue-screening me all the time and my Oracle AS installation that took me a while to figure out isn't working anymore. It decided that the password that I wrote down and used several times isn't valid anymore. 

Now that I've got that out of my system, I'm going back in again....
