National Physical Laboratory has a IT guy - look like he does punch cards for a living. He has the IT beard - really looks he part.

The documentation is extensive, but sorely lacking in clarity; the fact that it's a development branch doesn't help.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostThe fact that lots of stuff is only documented on the back of fag packets keeps me in work!!!
I mean, saying that something accepts "a comma-separated list of arguments" is all well and good, but they might have mentioned that it means only a comma - so if you do
instead ofCode:arg1, arg2
it fails silentlyCode:arg1,arg2

FFS...

Hi ED
Sodding application framework driving me up the wall... I wish they'd write some decent documentation, preferably not written from the perspective of assuming that you understand all the minute details of it already
How goes it?
Ello Nick, I'm good thanks. Worked from home today and tomorrow too and ClientCo two just rang me for some more work they want me to do.
All good, it's not all doom!
Ahhh documentation, a couple of ClientCo's ago I arrived and asked for all known documentation re some processes and they looked at me and laughed.
Little did they know that the head dude had brought me in to audit them! Muahahaha
I was kind and helped the to rewrite - at additional cost of course
That boy go raaaaaaa
