I was about to ask what was going on with ML cause it keeps freezing.
Then I see everyone's already talking about it.

Yeah, and we've got confirmation from someone else in the same datacenter that they are seeing issues there, too.

Ah I gotcha.
I shall just carry on with everyday activities until my time waster website is back up and running.

I used to write those when I was at AT&T.

Because getting funding for IT or Development to do something for small internal projects was not ever approved.

Yeah. I'm doing this because apparently no one in our Help Desk can figure it out. So I, with zero experience with macros, get the job.

I'm drinking a glass of water atm. Getting a bit light headed. I've only had 1 cup of coffee as my liquids all day.

In other words, its broke and we don't know how to fix it. Its best if you just restore from backups.

@NerdyDad

Yep, restored to a new instance within 45 min. All good now. I got a follow up email from them saying, the data is most likely gone.

@wrx7m I had to manage it for a few years and it was a nightmare. There may be people who love it . Not me. Always had issues.
