Wifey in Hospital and things are not so terminal at work – life twists again.
My beloved has been in hospital today to have her hand fixed. Private med is great when you can’t get into the NHS. Considering she is a nurse herself, it is rather poor that they wouldn’t see her.
No matter, she has had the op and the best surgeon in the area to boot. Now there is just recovery time (4 weeks) and the hope that the nerve damage isn’t too great.
She doesn’t complain much, but I can tell its hurting a lot. Its times like this you realise how much you care for your partner isn’t it? If I could take the pain for myself I would.
On a more mundane note, there is light on the horizon at work.
It would seem our friendly consultant wasn’t quite so forthcoming with all the details about how to configure the system. The since quoted “50% command line stuff” to configure the system correctly, wasn’t initially mentioned and may be a clue as to why it didn’t work when we tried. I suspect much of the CL work is concerned with BSD’s dsconfigad command which tweeks the settings of the AD native plugin. I was lead to think that this was a propriotory plugin but they have again taken freeware to use as their own.
I am still learning the arcane art of *nix CL and although I can get by with extensive reading of the man pages, some stuff still doesn’t occur to me.
I am on holiday until Tuesday but the consultant is in on Wednesday for two days (at a serious cost to the company, I hope he gets it working) and I am looking forward to getting to the bottom of the whole thing.
I suspect much of these issues and concerns would not have arisen had we have attended the ACSA courses we have been plugging for the last year. Now that they are available we need to do them. The irony is that after June (with another feline release due), the exams we have already achieved will be void and we shall have to do the process again.
