If NextGrex had been up last Sunday (1/4) would the mail disk have
died? I thought we were replacing the disks; I may have been wrong.

Yes, NextGrex has all new disks.

We had hoped the mail disk would survive until the new grex machine went into
service. It didn't. :(

Why didn't someone anticipate this, and replace the disc BEFORE it broke?

Did my eyes deceive me, or was it not the *controller* that died and not the
"disk" (media)?

They replaced the logic board of the drive itself, Kevin.

... but it was not a head crash or other damage to the platter or head.

I think we should pay to get NextGrex up before we have *another*
disaster. We may not be so lucky next time.

Speaking as a staffer who did spend a chuck of two nights getting mail back
up on Grex last week, I haven't had a lot of personal time to spend on
NextGrex.
Those of you who know my professional life know that I have been
consumed by work on the new Malletts Creek Branch for the AADL. I and my
coworkers have been writing new circulation software and setting up a new
class of thin clients for the patrons to use at this new branch. Not to
mention the fun of having to go through three different connectivity methods
to get this branch connected to the rest of the library.
Those of you who know my personal life know that my partner, Tracey, suffered
a venous ischemia during a resection of two brain tumors in September and has
had a difficult recovery requiring much of my remaining attention.
Now, writing today, the day after the new branch opening, I have a few days
of tweaking work to do, and Tracey's rehab therapy is coming along nicely.
I'd like to think my life will finally slow down enough to pay more attention
to NextGrex and get it up and running. Those of you who doubt my dedication
or wish to poke fun at this idea need to remember that it was myself and Jan
who stayed up late at night and recovered Grex's email last week. I think
I've made my point.
Please give our current staff a little more time.

right.

I certainly feel the same way, Kip. I'm glad Tracey is feeling better.

My goodness. Yes, I agree with Sindi and Mark. I apologize for my
critical remarks in this item and others. I sure didn't mean to
criticize anyone dealing with such circumstances as those. Best
wishes to Tracey!

You are certainly not the problem with the delay of NextGrex, kip.
You did outstanding work for Grex *and* in your day job with the
Library.

Unfortunately, it's all to easy to forget--especailly for newcomers--
that Grex is all done by volunteers. They don't /have/ to do this.
The fact that Grex has lasted this long is certainly a testiment to the
staff's dedication.
