I think it's getting to the point where it would be easier for us to do a backup, they do a clean install, and then we recover everything ourselves.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Let me talk to them about that.

Okay, found out why it failed--there's a table in the MySQL databases with a period in it, and all the MySQL utilities are balking at it--it's what frelled the upgrade.

I don't actually think it's one of ours, but I'll have to make sure.

They've cleared up the issue with the wonky DB and tested the upgrade on the new system and it worked.

I'm of the mind that we should just let them at it Sunday at 9pm board time.

Go for it!

Um...we seem to be in imminent need of a new Bitches thread name and, shortly after, a new Bitches thread.

Some Spikey possibilities:

Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
Help me out here, Spock, I don't speak loser.
I'm not the first choice for heroics.
Some truly spectacular kickings of my ass.
Hasn't got a death wish? Bitch won't need one.
Did I sully our good name?
Impure as the driven yellow snow.
I made a promise to a lady.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm partial to Did I sully our good name.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
