I played with it once... Was ok with it.
Wouldn't mind learning more, and def fine working in a team.

It's over 31300 posts currently. With a conventional paged forum you would have to click 1565 pages, assuming 20 posts per page, to scroll over this entire thread. What were you trying to do?

Break stuff? (there was a cooties storm when i first started...)
EDIT: Realisticly, i was just trying to add to my post read badge, for shits and giggles

STATUS Horribly hungover and I've just been handed a bug to fix with half an hour until home time.... FFS
*Edit funnily enough I did not cause this one when I was hungover last Friday.

ooh that's a juicy one

Status: Banned from meta.d for trying to get something beyond "a tiny percentage of users" from Jeff. When he accused me of being interested in arguing, I told him - in a PM - I wasn't interested in being brushed off with ass pull figures.
I can return on "a 11, 2015". Whenever that is.
Now that's a bug that isn't likely to get reported.
You can come back now. I bet you're excited about this.

Status: The C sample I'm currently writing is crashing out before it enters main()...
Fixed. Allocating an 8 MB array on the stack within main() was the problem.

Actually, that's a new account. My old one is @anon25879736. Apparently, banning wasn't good enough for me. :P
-
@anon25879736 is active there too :)

Yes, because I can log into an account that they changed the email and password on. That's totally something I can manage.

I've had 3 months to mess with it now. Let's just say that user anonymization is probably the one thing they did right.

"Let's just skip to the bottom of that flowchart, where you send me a new hard drive and save us both some trouble. Deal?"
I've had that exact convo with HP, but never Dell.

Status: the office building's fire alarm just went off. A cow-orker didn't bother leaving. Good thing for her the FD didn't bother verifying compliance.

My brother in law took that one step forward and tested the crisis management system. He made sure their next of kin were notified that their husband/wife died during a fire drill...

Status: Client was hit by CryptoWall last night. They are already back up and running with zero data loss. We look like heroes. Today is a good day.
Addendum: Twice, in two days. Headed back there right now. FFS people. We had a meeting and everything. Don't open shit if you don't know what it is.
This time, I narrowed it down to the person that does their day-to-day IT support. That makes it so much worse.

Status: Coworker just coming out at submissive totally ruined my revenge fantasies. Now when I think of kicking his ass I have to consider if he might like it.

... where the fuck do you people work that you have conversations like this?
"Hello fellow co-workers! Before we start this meeting about the ISO-9000 certification process, I'd like to tell you all about my sexual fetishes."

That'll do it. Linux gives you 10mb by default, and I doubt that 8mb array was the only thing you had there.

When you have a job like ours you get pretty close. When the stakes are patient lives you bond differently than over a "delivery milestone". Plus we all often do unpaid time if someone gets stuck with a case. Nobody leaves at night until our hospitals are up and running.
Generally goes one of two ways. New joins either become family or don't last a month.
The stress is power overwhelming and you are often powerless. Pooling our skills and knowledge sees us through. This dynamic only works well with people who like each other.

And it doesn't quite come out like that.
"Hey any plans for the weekend."
"Maybe, thinking about going on a date. I met that cute dominant..."
Nothing stays secret for too long.

... I worked in healthcare, and I never learned about any of my co-workers' fetishes. Just sayin'.

Oh. Well that's the problem.

Status: Can someone please direct me to a person/site/folder/pile of papers/anything-at-all who/that knows how to place a fudging Toner cartridge order?
There can't be only one person in the entire company that knows how to do this, right?!?

Basically, all the medical soap operas are true.

Reality:
Hot nurse 1: The orgy last night was fantastic! Hey, do we invite Blakeyrat tonight?
Hot nurse 2: What? That grumpy guy from the corner cube? Doesn't he, like, spends whole day hanging out on that stupid forum he thinks we don't know about, while grumbling under his breath? I don't think he'd be interested.
Hot nurse 1: Yeah. You're probably right.

I don't think it's the health care as such as needing to talk and get on with people all day. We don't have anyone who knows the entire system as its point blank impossible. And with an install base of other 2000 clients were maybe groups of 2 or 3 have the same hardware, config and setup. It's bespoke solutions really.
Plus were a very diverse office. I am not sure why, but it does have momentum. Half my department is lgbt, kinky, poly or some such which I am sure leads to more people from such walks of life settling in. I think software upgrade for years only had one straight person for some reason.

What do you think?

FFS, that dumbfuck somehow had it on a USB drive. The same one that she just copied MalwareBytes on to install it on every computer in the building.

Status: Badge got deactivated early, got stuck outside for half an hour before I could get it fixed.

I mean, I don't like this post, but I lol'd and sympathized.

I think that is grounds for justifiable homicide isn't it? More so with her being an "IT" person...
