While I was up spewing and blogging at 4am this morning, I sent out a couple of emails, it was lucky I did, or else I probably would have slept all day..

I slept through my alarm that went off at (I assume) 9.45am as it was set to, and a nice lady I'd sent an email to at 4am rang to thank me for what I had to tell her at 10am, which woke me up.

I got out of bed, gingerly ate breakfast, feeling pretty rough, and so sore it's not funny.

I got dressed, and took off for the Cafe, we were having a meeting with the solicitor at 11am. On the way to the Cafe, I had to deal with a closed road and a detour, which wasted a bit of time, but I got there just in time.

We had discussions with the solicitor, and at this stage, our plan is to keep running the business. We're going to start doing things properly, keeping track of money, paying wages properly.

After he left, we had some continued discussions, we plan on getting rid of stupid expenses, tidying up the Cafe, try to make it profitable.

Someone tried to print something, and I discovered the admin machine (with all the emails on it I will need to sort things out) has virii all over it, so I got to muck around trying to fix that, and I nearly flew off the handle. I've got really crappy stress management at the moment.

After that, I had a technical meeting with a couple of the other tech guys that used to run the ISP side of things, at our Gosford pop. I showed them where the missing server is supposed to be, we went and looked in the area in the carpark, and worked out what was in there. Before we left, we had some discussions with the organisation in the office where our equipment is. Apparently they are moving in a month. Now we have a big issue. We either need to relocate some or all of the equipment/network links/phone lines somewhere else (we don't even know half of what is there) or try to organise with the organisation moving into the office to allow us to leave it. I'm assuming this is the intention, since before my friend crashed his plane, he had installed wireless equipment in there.

We went around to the other location in Gosford where we have equipment, where the machine is supposed to be hidden in the roof. It took me a while to find the right key, but eventually got it. I looked around in the colo, I couldn't find any of our equipment anywhere. I climbed into the roof, I still could not find anything up there.

Now we have an issue. The server is no where to be found, and the machine hidden in the roof is not there. Hopefully they are the same machine, and we've only lost one machine, not two, but then again, the server we are looking for has 50 websites on it, and only some are backed up.

After we left, I remembered that the machine hidden in the roof was to connect to another office nearby, I did not know where though, and I didn't have the phone number of the guy I needed to contact, I decided I would do it when I got back in the Cafe tomorrow.

I left from there, and headed to Wyoming, to get some lunch with my mate I go to dinner with. We had some conversation about what we're planning to do with the business, and about the missing server. I don't know what to tell the customers, but we can't tell them that the server is lost.

I started to feel really sick, the airconditioning in Hungry Jacks was too cold.

I went to Coles, and got some cheap and nasty brown vinegar, apparently it's supposed to work well on sunburn.

I got home, rubbed some of the vinegar on, didn't notice any difference. I lay down and started watching tv.

My phone rang, it was the guy who's number I didn't have, my mate I went to lunch with had just called him, about the missing box. He told us that he had removed a machine from the roof it was hidden in, after it was found, and the people who found it went apeshit.

He told me he would drop the box over. I hoped it was the server we were looking for.

He arrived about an hour later, and it was our missing server. Thank God for that.

I had a chat with him for a while, it turns out that the webserver had been hidden in the roof, to make use of someone elses internet link to serve the websites hosted on it. The guy told me that my friend had put it there, and told him it was part of a wireless link they were setting up, but there was no radio equipment with it, or it has been removed by someone else.

So now I have the server here at home, I'll take it back where it belongs in the morning, and hopefully be able to reinstall it back in the rack where it belongs, and to the correct network.

I called my mate I go to dinner with, and told him I had the server here, he was relieved.

I went and had a bath, I put a ton of brown vinegar in it, it didn't seem to make any difference, I still hurt all over.

I've just watched some tv, and realised I am really hurting. I just tried more vinegar, I think it's a waste of time.

I'm going to try and lie down.
