The end has been marked for over a decade you realise?



I haven't quite been working there a year yet. We're basically cannibalizing the entire company (codebase, data import methods, data storage, website and image hosting, MLS data warehousing, server and network infrastructure) to relaunch the company under the same name.

We're in the painful process of upgrading off ASP, DefaultHttpHandler code that requires 15-min recycle limits, 32bit DLLs with a GAC refresh process, 32bit IIS 6.0, MS NLBs, SQL 2000 DTS and undocumented built-in-house data-import processes, SQL 2005 main database servers, PowerEdge 2850s, and entirely non-cached nor accelerated sites.


That's a living hell. I wish you good fortune.
