Status: Looking through someone else's source for a report generator to see why it's being weird.
Hmm, why is the code switching on letters and loading resources? What's this folder for?
NOPE.

Fog light bulb change (both were burnt crispy)
The fog lights were actually the hardest part. Lots of screws and fiddly clips.
And then I put them back on, closed up there panels and then realized I forgot to plug the electrical cables back in.I did that with front turn signals on my vehicle once. The drivers side is a real bastard to get to because of the battery tray. It also grounds through the socket and can be put in 180 degrees out of orientation. Got it all back together, checked function, cursed, started taking it all apart again, dropped the bulb in the housing, cursed more...
yeah, it's stuff like that that makes me go "Fuck it, i'll take it to me mechanic and slip him a Benjamin to change that fucking bulb while i go shopping at the mall next door."
and since i have a good mechanic i usually get three to four Jacksons back from him when i pick the car up a couple of hours later.

Status: So, the import of userdata into our new system went well. For an as of yet to be determined value of "well".
For some reason, instead of using our old "First letter of firstname, full lastname" scheme for usernames we now have "lastnamefirstname". Causes minor confusions but oh well, not that dire.
More problematic is the fact that upon changing your password from the generic one (everyone has the same!) the system from then on accepts neither the new nor the old password.
Also, there are some very weird hardware configuration shenanigans going on - several rooms have both a normal screen and an attached projector (usually a SMARTboard). In some of them the screen resolution defaults to 1024x768 which is a bit low nowadays.
I tried to change it to something more reasonable (like 1920x1080) which the computer accepted, only to revert back immediately.Upon closer inspection it turns out that the computer seems to think that there's only one screen connected.
While there are definitely two connectors connected at the back (VGA and DVI) and both are definitely working.

@Cursorkeys
Should have used a CDN ...
-
@Luhmann
I feel like we need some sort of system to reduce redundant storage of the CDN joke. And maybe make it so that the joke can be served from a location close to the requester so as to minimize delivery time. But each delivery endpoint would need to be kept synchronized with the others, so that only the most current version of the joke was sent, regardless of which endpoint was used.

@izzion We need a CDN Delivery Network!

Weird bug with my work PC. On the left hand screen, everything is fine. On the right hand screen, any window I maximise gets the chrome all funny and squashed. It's not just a graphical glitch because clicking where the title bar looks like it should be, and where some parts of it are, passes through to the window underneath.

@Polygeekery I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if NetApp were an order of magnitude more expensive than EMC, but it would argue in favor of using a different vendor.

All my best jokes are just me mashing the suggested word button on my keyboard.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get the best sex tips for the most part of the Internet and I think we should remember that and stay together.
I blame the "sex tips" part on this forum.

Apparently the default gateway needs to be set, or my server can't route responses outside of the network.
I'm... Not sure why I'm surprised by that, given that it makes perfect sense.

Well, teeeechnically, you could install BGP on the server, and get an ASN and form a BGP peering relationship from upstream provider <--> your router <--> your server.
Assuming the server isn't running Windows hardware.

Only if you upload wrongly.

I uploaded it into a different thread.
Rather than re-upload it, I just copy/pasta'd the image url.
Since it's an URL to an image, that normally oneboxes.

@Tsaukpaetra both driver's and my phone GPS signal were toast because of the bad weather. Obvious noise like this should be easy to smooth out anyway, and they should compare and flag it when the distance is so different than a GPS planned route.
I have no means to complain in their website for something like this.
Ah. Well, to social media!

Inner @Fox? Sorry, it's been long enough that I'm not entirely sure what that means. Typically the main reason I use their/they/themself is because I don't know their preferred gender they have have assigned themself.
I am pretty forgetful of that, so it may happen more often than common.
