FWIW, I am still thinking the Steam release is months away. There are still some significant items on the SoH “must do before Steam release” list.
There have been interruptions.
Last week I went to Denver to get that dead server running. It has 64 CPU cores and lots of RAM, a significant chunk of our server resources. It’s hard drive failed; in all the years, I have rarely seen a hard drive go bad. That explained why the remote hands team could not get it to boot.
Unfortunately, SAS hard drives are not commonly used in consumer products so the computer stores don’t stock them. That meant ordering a new drive, and another trip to Denver later.
I received the new SAS hard drive on Friday. Tomorrow (Monday) I plan to go to Denver to fix the server. If all goes well, I will be back to work on Tuesday. Another day lost.
I think I am wide open after that to get stuff done again. That list has less than 100 items.
