Theres nothing worse than trying to grope around in the dark setting up a system you don't really understand.* I am trying to connect my website to a DB2 database but NT4 doesn't have the drivers for this out of the box so I have to fiddle round setting some up. The trouble with *this* is that once I have set them up I get an error from my data source but I don't recognize it. The DBA says that I'm connecting but then its throwing me off - apparently I probably haven't defined a DCS entry (according to his help files). How ever, I don't know what this is and have been unable to find out where it should be set thus far. The DBA's really busy so he hasn't got time to help me with it til after the database release and so I am feeling hassled. Plus lately there seems to be loads of things that people want me to do really urgently and I'm the only person working on my system so they're piling up a bit. Which means that I won't get a chance to sit down and do the background database tuning improvements for ages because those won't be visible to the users but now that I know they're there its really bugging me. Arggg. And its only 15:13.
On the plus side, I am going to a gig tonight. No-one I've seen before but described as "melodic indie stuff" so should be my sort of thing. I'll let you know. Then I'm going to have hugs (yay!)
* Yes I know there are actually lots of worst things (living in Afghanistan at the moment for instance) but none of them are actually bugging me at the moment.
