Well that was stressful

Sorry about the outage. A routine deploy went totally nutso due to an out of date config file being left in the bin directory. The interesting thing, if you call blind panic interesting, is that the error was manifesting as a null ref in a web control. The web control's code was solid. It was literally impossible for it to manifest this error. What was actually happening is that upstream there was a null ref that was being reported as occurring too far downstream in the stack. Nothing like trying to put out the fire when you're being told the fire is in the wrong place. Especially odd when the "fire" was essentially in something underwater and covered in asbestos.

Good work nonetheless. I remember one time when I responsible for a particular computer system at a customer's site. We kept have weird glitches. At one point I thought it was fixed so I took the afternoon off to golf with some of the customers. Of course, the thing crashed again while we were golfing. Fortunately, the customer rep who I reported to was in the foursome. So, at least you were on the ball and not out golfing or otherwise messing around. :) :thumbsup:

Can we assume the poor soul responsible for the errant file has been flogged accordingly? ;P

On the plus side though, I got to see the hamsters everyone talks about.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
