We just had the longest week ever in Arizona. Every hour seemed like a day and every day seemed like a week. We had a major system crash. The hard drive on the server completely went out-unrecoverable. We had no computer system- no operating system, which means no shipping or order processing, it also held all of our accounting information, we didn't have any internet, email, or fax as that is all electronic as well. Did I mention that the person who set up the system set the back-up of the system to back-up onto itself- the same hard drive- which isn't really a back-up at all? We were down for over a week. We had to buy new hardware, new software, and reinstall all of our systems. It was a total nightmare. The good news is that we were able to recover our orders and accounting data and our system will be more stable than ever, with a real back-up system in case this ever happens again. But now I am home to serve jury duty, more good times, which I don't mind doing when there isn't a crisis going on. We leave for the CK Convention in Portland this week as well. As usual, we could use some help in the booth. The show is the 8th, 9th, and 10th and we pay in cash or product. Email Michelle at michelle@lildavisdesigns.com if you are interested. That's it for now. Have a great week!
