Delivery Distortion Status: I just got a text from FedEx saying that a signature-require package will be delivered tomorrow. The only thing I'm expecting that could be signature-required (I think it's the only thing I'm expecting at all) is my new computer. I'd swear the sales guy said Thursday next week, not this week, but I'm not complaining. (If it actually shows up, that is.)

@HardwareGeek Fedex sucks at tracking.
I had my new laptop sent in for repair. They sent it back and I had it sent to my nearby Walgreens so I wouldn't have to sign for it.
So I checked on their tracking every day, and every day, it said it was out for delivery (but not waiting or delivered to the place). Then I finally went there and BAM, the stupid laptop had been there for a week and they were just about to send it back.

STATUS by sheer chance clicked on the Spam folder in Gmail only to see that for the last day or so it's been flagging all sorts of legit emails as spam. More stuff's come in during the day that I've had to fish out and flag as not spam.
Hopefully they fix this soon.

Fedex sucks at tracking.
FWIW, Dell sucks at order status tracking, too. All the order status links, supposedly for that specific order number, in the confirmation email redirect to the generic support home page. Not even sales support; the "Help, my computer doesn't work" support. I finally had to search for "check order status", figure out which of the 1M+ search results was relevant, which was not the actual order status page, but linked to it, then type my order number into that page, which finally gave me a link to FedEx tracking. For each of the two orders. Interestingly, one order (the computer) is coming from TN; the other order (RAM) is coming from CA. Both are expected here tomorrow.

Creating new media files in said hidden folders properly hides them from the index, just not ones that the index already knows about.

What I mean is that it prevents Android's "media library" component from picking it up. The idea is that you may have e.g. art, button textures, audio clips, etc for some app sitting in the file system, and wouldn't want that stuff showing up in the phone's photo gallery or music player. I don't think Chrome has any reason to use the media library at all, and Gallery Go may be one of those "clever" apps that @Applied-Mediocrity mentioned

They're both by Google, but I don't expect Google to follow the rules of such an unknown platform like Android.
Though like I said, it doesn't "find" images created directly in said folder, only maintains tracing of files moved into it from a folder that wasn't "protected" like that.

Status worked from the office today, because it's stupid hot and the office has AC. Basically the only other people there are the CSRs. So I got to hear (one side of) a bunch of their calls. Man I'm glad I'm not a CSR...people are idiots.
Although the fact that we rolled out a big new app update for a long-desired feature...and then had to roll it back when they discovered it broke something else that was rather critical (and didn't catch it until it was in production) didn't help. Lots of "where did <grand new feature> go? It's broken!> calls.

Oh, thank you. I do have a bunch of album cover thumbnails taking up a large portion of my media library.
Then again, most of what shows up in my media library I don't want there.
My dream app (which I may have to make my damned self) would basically show all my images as a stack of cards sitting on a wooden table, and different areas of the table would be designated as tags, and I would just rapidly slide each card to a different tag region, until all my media is tagged. Then I could just designate the NSFW tag as hidden by default...

Status Gonna be one of those days. Slept poorly, and then when I got to work, I kicked off a build. Short, by most standards (only 5 minutes). But I tabbed out to do something else and checked back. It had failed because I'd told it to build the wrong branch. Really, I'd swapped the numbers in the branch I'd pushed (branch names are based on ticket numbers, so 7681 and 7861 just aren't the same). That usually only happens when I'm pretty tired.
And it's supposed to be 100+F today and not really cool down (high 60s at best at 2 AM). Again. Tomorrow's supposed to only be in the 90s, which is better.

Bitbucket helpfully generates a "descriptive" branch name from the ticket number and truncated subject line. So the branch name ends up being "ABCD_XYZ-1305-create-a-new-process-to-handle-foo". And you have to type in the full branch name to Jenkins to get a build or PR done (which doesn't validate the field but will fail if you misspell it).

Why does a package last reported 2.5 hours west of me have to travel 3 hours east of me (and back again, all of which takes 24 hours) before it can be delivered?
-
@HardwareGeek Also, according to FedEx, the package was signed for by someone with a name vaguely resembling my last name, but with one consonant that doesn't appear in my name, one vowel replaced by a different vowel, and one letter that should appear twice occurs only once and in the wrong place. Only two 2-characters sequences are correct.
If my name was ABCDEFGH, the person FedEx thinks signed for it was QAXDEGH.
And I even spelled my name for the driver.

It won't get here until tomorrow, but it's only "potentially" delayed. I'd like to "potentially" delay paying them (but I can't, because the shipping has already been paid by Dell).

Status: Yup--today has sucked. Discovered an outage due to missing ~150 records (out of ~650) in a particular table. They're in one read-only replicated database (that should be replicated exactly from the main db) but not in the other replicant or in the main db.
Then fought a vague ticket from hell "it all breaks sometimes"...except we could see it happening. Turned out to be a race condition...I think.
I may have written the following comment on the ticket:
The real fix is probably to overhaul how we handle basic navigation and put a stake in this abomination of a hybrid ânot really an SPA, not really server-side renderedâ web-interface shell.

If it's 4G and they're not actually turning off the bands then it should still work as long as it has the sim card.
They're turning off the 3G bands and no longer routing calls via GSM -- it's all VoLTE all the time. Because this is America and Americans are stupid, the new phone comes with a new SIM already installed, and the existing SIM will be deactivated as though its subscription lapsed. This is AT&T; they are terminally clueless about devices and probably have no idea what kind of outer space phone Tsaukpaetra's using (since the IMEI isn't one of theirs), so they just assume it doesn't have working VoLTE, LTE data, or "5GE". The sad thing is, with regard to VoLTE, they're probably right: it's AT&T and their VoLTE spec still isn't final so even the handsets they're shipping out right now might be bricks come next year.
