server not ready, rats!

Lack of planning or whatever, but a critical peice of the web server I'm building as an upgrade to our current system is the DB2 Connector.  So instead of installing version 6.1 that we got 3 years ago, I installed version 8 that we just got and I just can't get the thing configured right.  So, I could just put the old version on so we can still complete the upgrade tomorrow as planned?  Wrong, the only CD for the older version is off-site in a Disaster Recovery Kit with our tapes and its $$ to make a special request for it.

So, that will have to wait until next week; but it's probably for the best.  I can have our AS/400 guru work on the connector and make double sure everything else is ready to go.

On a personal note, I'm about 2/3 through the book Wild at Heart which has me totally energized.  It's message is like "God didn't create us to be wimpy sorta wet noodle men like we see all around us.  But, He created us to be strong, adventureous and anything but tame (like He is)."  Now, I'm off to see The Two Towers and get a big dose of war and mayhem.
