Fuck, fuck, fuck, I hate scripts!

Ok last week the OS on my server was upgraded. Went pretty smooth, a few paths got changed, after a few days I thought that I had caught everything.

Today I go to do my Monday bulk mailing using MojoMail. It's broke, mess around with it for about 45 minutes, finally decide to grab a fresh copy of the script.

Go to MojoMail and see that it is now called DadaMail. Still free and should work even better.

Install new version, well all my paths have changed in the huge amount of e-mail forms that I have across a dozen domains.

Also it doesn't read any of my old databases so I have to basically redo everything.

No problem do search and replace on just about everything that I own. Re-upload a few thousand files. Redo all my templates. Open up old databases in text editor and copy and paste info out of them into the new databases.

All I wanted to do was a quick mailing before taking a shower. Now it is noon and I still haven't taken a shower or any real productive work done other then to get everything working the way it was before the upgrades.

Actually the new version does seem a bit nicer and a bit faster.
