GeneralA sorry tale of people not doing as they are told. Pin

What they are told in this case is "Any Technical Matters To Come Through David"

Complaints abound that a set of email accounts are no longer working.
Investigation shows that the domain name has not been paid and is suspended.
Go to 'Go Daddy' (for it is they) to try to pay and have it reinstated.

Go Daddy say that I need to have the access password, which is not written down.
I find out that the domain name was requested by a company that was asked to provide a webspace by one of our no longer with us employees.
So I try to call the webspace company to get the details so that I can go back to Go Daddy to get the domain name paid for again.

The company that the employee who no longer works for us used has gone into administration and is not able to help, as no-one knows who set it up, where the records are or how to organise a piss-up in a brewery.

I am vexed.


Fortunately the domain name will soon be out of registration completely so I will be able to buy it back and point it to a new webspace.


But until then...
No emails, no online presence and a bag full of sh*t for David.



Sometimes I hate my job.
