tpd is getting really b1tchy these days! First suity - now me.

Clearly I need to up the drivel rate...

I didn't mean it to be bitchy, sorry.

It was my attempt at humour.

My fault. I am getting touchy. Continuous Quin a week Tuesday and I am getting very nervous.

Sorry. And congrats on the IPSE thing. And to all others who spend their time helping others by making things better. Organizing contractors is like herding cats....

A french chap didn't know what number to put into the field for the number to be called if there was a problem so he filled it with 9s. This was a test system. Plod wasn't impressed

There's a story on the Daily WTF about how a manager modified their SMS sending system in production and put in a fake URL for people to click on.

So he put www.xxx.com as the domain name until he had the proper one. Cue lots of angry parents complaining about how the company was sending them porn.

I cocked up some escalation code, and sent test emails to the CEO at clientCo.

I used to use examples of that in my Workflow training courses - that if you are going to loop through the hierarchy, you might want to have a limit somewhere.

They did that mistake at an insurance company I was working with - kind of combined with Nick's example. Every 10 minutes that the server was down, send a notification to the DBA. If they don't reply within 10 minutes, escalate to their manager.

Server crash on a bank holiday weekend - I think they were notifying God by the end of it.

Home!

Met the rain as I drove home. It's coming down pretty steadily out there now

Had to go for petrol and a few bits of shopping, which in theory ought to take about twenty minutes but, what with rain and rush hour, seems to have added fifty minutes to the journey

[eek]

Arrived home to find my Niece's guinea pigs in our front room (only place they can be as its away from the chocolate)..

I was warned last night but had totally forgotten...

Pan of scouse on to simmer - just the thing on a chilly, damp evening
