Oooops^2.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostToday's exciting news is that the automated tool I built to apply a modification to ~70 Chef cookbooks, which I set running immediately before leaving yesterday, has instead ****ed most of them hard due to the unfortunate omission of a newline character in a string, which just so happened not to affect the three or four I tested on
Having rendered them inoperative, the script then uploaded the changes to the main Git repository, where they triggered the Continuous Integration server to try to test and deploy them, causing almost everything to fail and turn red
Current status: knocking together a script containing methods like "is_****ed?" and "un****" during the lunch break from the planning session

Now I think about it, that panel got scrapped & never made it into production.

That's A Good Idea.
I may purchase some on the way home.
I like jam tarts.
I purchased 5 jam donuts last week.
I could only manage 3.
The remaining 2 were consumed the next day.
Even more effective than immodium.
Due to the extended shutdown:
