I celebrated my 39th birthday this week, if the term "celebrate" can mean "sit alone at home and watch TV just like every other night." Because my birthday is in January, I do Birthday Resolutions instead of New Year's Resolutions. After all, that gives me a couple more weeks to …
Kris, the production system isn't working since we installed the newest release. Can you tell us how to fix it?
Can you send me the log files?
