But who is grunting?

Re soccer discussion: if you have the chance, go and see Messi. the other 21 players don't matter at all. that guy is way over them

@Luhmann the backup group, they are called "Developers, developers, developers" if I'm not mistaken.

Football is a game with 22 players and a ball, and in the end the Germans win.

@PleegWat yeah, damn germans.

@Luhmann Is it? I thought it was Cruiff. Sorry.

Status: Someone from the building management came by just before I went to lunch to let us know they plan on starting building a wall in our suite on Wednesday--due to downsizing we're going to lose part of our office, including, sadly, our kitchen. I asked if they were going to move the phone/network equipment panel, which is in the part of the office that's going away, and they said no.
Uh-oh.
You simply would not believe the number of times over the years that a client has told us that major changes were planned for their building that severely impacted the network (both expansion and contraction of leased space) and they notify of this day(s) before it occurs.
"Oh, you just leased the space next to yours and you need cable pulled and switching installed to support 15 more employees? Glad business is picking up for you.
When do you need it done by?
Day after tomorrow eh?
Good thing we keep all that shit in stock. We will be in there tomorrow -under breath- (...and you are going to pay through the nose you fucker, because you have known about this for weeks if not months)""Oh, you want to move the entire server space?
We can get that done for you, when do you need it by?
Thursday, eh? You realize that is a huge undertaking, right?
Yeah, we can probably get it done by then, but it will be pushing it -under breath- (...and you are going to pay through the nose you fucker, because you have known about this for weeks if not months)"
-
@Polygeekery But the server fairy just came yesterday and told us we needed to have the servers and network jacks moved by tomorrow. Without any downtime.

...because now we have to do it outside of business hours and me and my guys don't like working past 5 so you have to pay us enough to make us not be bitchy about it.

Status: Crap.
I'm on the list, because I don't have anything higher than 4.5.1 installed. FML, I hope that upgrading is a painless process.
Eh, who am I kidding?

A blank settings menu? That sucks! Wait a sec...

@Polygeekery In my case, phone+internet into the office, and then the cables to the network switch rack, are in, like i said, one cankle-thick bundle. I hope there's enough slack the stuff can be all moved as one--otherwise who knows how long the office will be effectively out of commision.

You're fucked. We have attempted that before. It never works out. If you have a bundle of wires that thick, that is a hell of a lot more weight than you think it is. It is also a lot of rigidity.
You can try to move it all as one mass. Just expect to fail.

@Polygeekery said in The Official Status Thread:

Geez. Plus, it's all 100Mb stuff that's nearly 20 years old (plus there's some old mainframe-style networking that goes back to 1991 or so.) By rights they should rip it all out and rewire the office, but they'll never pay for that.
I told one of my coworkers today we should just buy a gigabit workgroup switch, plug it into the old switch stack, and run the 3 or so wires necessary above the ceiling ourselves. He'd never bother but I was almost half serious.
Maybe I'll buy a wifi router at some point, and a couple of USB wireless cards.

To be clear (your security folsk weren't), you can totally build target 4, 4.5, 4.5.1 and be in a supported configuration. 4.5.2 or 4.6.1 runtime must be installed, however. So you don't even have to rebuild the app - just install the framework. I've never heard of that framework upgrade doing any harm. Build target changes, yes. Framework upgrade, no.
Hell, I think you can even target 2.0 / 3.5.
If you're in 1.1 land, you're fucked and running on XP anyway.

Status: I parked my car outside earlier when I was doing an errand but then I forgot to move it to garage and now I've taken my shoes off, so I guess my car gets to spend its... I think first night ever? outside.

Yeah, I was reading up on it afterward, my response to them was " We should be fine if we're already targeting 4.5 or better". We'll see. Otherwise I'll just claim "Yup, we're all set to go!"
To date, my site is the only one that works consistently between IE and any modern browser. All the rest have some pretty curious layout issues...
Status: So I got the stupid Vensmile devices I've been moaning about to work, insomuch as powering up when power is applied (previously they weren't able to do this no matter what, so the only solution was to put them to "sleep", hence the
hackhardware mod to keep it charged when sleeping). All I had to do was disable LPM in the BIOS.

Status: Got a package from China...
The package was 100% empty (tore it apart just in case), and the tracking number doesn't match anything I've ordered within the last year.
What are you trying to pull?

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

mostly tries to pull something out rather than off.

I suppose if I expressed my confusion at this nonsensical and irrelevant question, I'd receive a dozen posts hurling abuse at me for not instantly getting it.
-
@blakeyrat By the standards of the Mid-West, you don't have “Weather” in Seattle most of the time; it's actually a place where people can live sanely.

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:
Other than rain?
It's not a F5 tornado or a snowstorm that drops temperatures to 20 below, so it's not weather.

@FrostCat Yeah, they have no rain for like a week in August. I've observed it. Twice.

It's not valid because it's literally 555-1234 that I typed into the box, either XD If it told me what the problem was, I'd have corrected it faster.
