When Systems Go Down

Your system WILL go down.
That’s a certainty.

What is uncertain is
WHEN it will go down.

This is one of the reasons
I build buffers into
my project timelines
and
offer books on pre-order
and
do as much in advance
as possible.

I also have a list of tasks
I can do
when systems
are offline.

While I wait for someone else
to restore the systems,
I switch to these offline tasks.

Plan for your systems
to be down.
That WILL happen.
