Dortmund drama

[eek]

Had a lovely time looking round the Christmas market yesterday and it now looks like we might be staying here for a while

That is unless we can get our passports out of the hotel room safe.

Step 1 : Place your items in the safe, close the door and enter a 4 digit code of your choice and press the lock button.

All good. As you press the numbers they appear on the LED screen in place of dashes.

Step 2 : Enter your 4 digit code and the safe will spring open.

Doesn't beep when I press the buttons. Just displays 4 dimmed dashes and seems unresponsive.

Have you been done to reception to see what they suggest.

Jeez, it's not rocket science.

Step 1 : Leaving the safe empty, close the door and enter a 4 digit code of your choice and press the lock button.

Step 2 : Enter your 4 digit code and the safe will spring open.

If Step 2 completes successfully, then

Step 3 : Place your items in the safe, close the door and enter a 4 digit code of your choice and press the lock button.

Step 4 : Enter your 4 digit code and the safe will spring open.

End If

IMHO that's a better test for competence in IT than many that I have seen.

He's having a stakeholder requirements workshop with them this very moment.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I tested the safe first. Yes it worked. Yes one cycle of locky unlocky was completed.

In the morning it was fooked.

The hotel sent someone in with a widget to unlock it.

Was the fault tracked back to a Jersey investment bank?

Has suity ever been involved with a project that has not gone horribly wrong the moment he arrives?

It's a good job he's always there to save the day.
