It's starting to feel like home......

This morning, I brought in a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch and cables so I can work on both the old and new machines in tandem. After everything was hooked up, I worked on the emergency fix, which I finished right before lunch.

The afternoon was spent reinstalling software. Thankfully I had kept a detailed log of all the installs with the old machine, and was able to find all the license and registration keys. (Yes, I receommend keeping a log of installs: what was installed, when it was installed, where it is, and where it came from.)

I'm feeling a little better about Vista now. Probably because I'm starting to get used to it, and that nearly everything I had is running on it. Except for Tomcat, which I'll look at later.

Tomorrow I bring in a double-headed USB cable and begin transferring my files from the old machine to the new machine. Then when that's done, I can go back to making those database changes in the Perl CGI scripts.
