Well, after a bizarre day of floods, snowdrifts and storms right over Ottery St Mary now is a good time for staff at COSMIC to be reviewing our emergency procedures and flexible working. Our offices were unaffected by the flooding, but we escaped the water literally by feet – the pub next door was flooded and has a massive clean-up job on its hands.
I had already made a commitment to others to write a feature on disaster recovery, back-up procedures and how flexible working arrangements can help with business continuity … well today I have more to offer in developing that feature and its certainly risen up the ‘to do’ list!
For more news on the weather and conditions in East Devon yesterday take a look here
Well, that makes my problems with domains and servers over the last two weeks look small! Glad you’re all alright.
There’s a good video from a past lugradio (2006 maybe) lightening talk on archive.org about disaster recovery. http://www.archive.org/details/LugRadio-Live-2005-Talks-DisasterRecovery

Sounds like you’ve been having fun down there. Glad to hear you escaped the worst of it.
