RE: Service startup on Windows 2000 fails

I cannot trust my network admins. They do crap without any notification. They will make a change and then I will spend the next day trying to figure out what happened. Their typical response is "Oh, we didn't know that the databases would be affected". DO NOT TRUST NETWORK ADMINS. And from my time working in IS I have found that network admins have no communication skills. These are NT guys. I had better luck with unix network admins though. Go figure.

Lyndon, I wish I knew what caused the problem. And I have no idea how the monkey that broke it solved the problem. I think it had something to do with removing folder shares, but I'm not sure.

I am so busy whipping out volumes of pl/sql code that I can't stop to understand why. I have to figure out how to smooth over the fact that we lost one day in our already tight schedule that is making it necessary for me to work from home at night (DSL + VPN = FUN! Sometimes.)

Cut, Paste, Test, Kill. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Wish I could just leave work and "get pissed out of my tree."

Mrs. Monkey.
