Emergency Status: When I noticed I needed to put on a new pot of coffee I could find no more coffee. And there's only 40 minutes to the monday meeting, where people will be wanting coffee. And the admin tells me a new coffee shipment may take a couple days to arrive. This may get very ugly.
I did find a bag of instant coffee in the back of the cupboard, though. Expired in march 2016, so before I started here. Hmm...

So I check the memory stick and find out that the text file with the restore key is empty. That... may be a problem.
Use the printout it told you to make 8,000,000 times during setup and, oh lemme guess, you didn't make it.

@blakeyrat I guess I am tr for not making sure that the file had been saved properly, but I did assume Microsoft would be able to create a plan text file with some text in it, as it has done the previous occasions I have been setting up BitLocker.
I dunno what triggered it, though, as I have made no hardware changes to the computer. And the message tells me to “remove any discs or USB devices connected after last boot” or something like that. Does that mean Microsoft includes explicitly removable media and devices in the computer’s trusted status? That would be highly if so.
Now, there’s no data loss or so. Just the potential annoyance of reinstalling Windows.

@Atazhaia Just as likely your USB storage corrupted it. Those are usually cheap as shit.
Print it out on a laser printer, put it in your fireproof safe. You'll be able to read it forever.

@Atazhaia Do you really work further than 20 minutes from a convenience or grocery store?
EDIT: or coffeeshop? Most of those sell bagged coffee.
-
@blakeyrat I thinks it's more to do with the fact that we buy coffee in bulk, and we must buy from a place that's on the list at accounting or there's a bunch of extra paperwork. Basically, plenty of and going around.
Otherwise we're right in the middle of the city, so there's plenty places to get coffee around. The people desperate for coffee used the out-of-date bag of instant coffee I had found, though, so that's good I guess.

@Atazhaia In Washington State, need for coffee overweighs all financial or organizational concerns.

@blakeyrat In Sweden, the need for pointless bureaucracy outweights all other concerns.

In Soviet Russia organizational concerns outweigh the need.
In Soviet Russia concerns belong to the People, glory - to the Premier.
In Soviet Russia concerns are being dismantled and sold for scrap.I'll get my coat. Mine's the red one, with marks of angels on the back.

A small, flat, yellow piece of plastic fell on my foot while I was standing still.
Doesn't seem to have fallen from the ceiling. I don't see how it could have fallen from my clothes. There was nothing and no one moving in my vicinity at the time. Where did you come from, piece of plastic?!

Status: Managed to get an evaluation key for HipChat. jajaja.
This is stupid, because what use is a 30-day evaluation license?
Also, the import consistently fails regardless of there being free space. What's even more funny is that apparently it's only so successful as to import the uploaded attachments in their rooms, so instead of getting all the chats, we get only the imported attachments.
Fun?
I think I'll probably abandon the archival hipchat instance project...

This is not how "In Soviet Russia" jokes work.

I have no idea how much space SSL libraries will take
I think that chip comes with a hardware TLS engine built in; hopefully the board support package includes support for it. If not, the ATWINC1500 is a similar chip and that board support package does include hardware TLS support.

Status: First day back at work after two weeks off. So far I've re-activated one copy of Office (no explanation for how it became deactivated was forthcoming), fixed a door, fixed a printer, and written some C#.
I also have the intro to Thunderstruck on repeat in my head. Go away music, we're not allowed to have fun anymore.
Edit: Thunder! [x Lots]

When legal addictions are involved, bureaucracy can move pretty fast. Especially if the alternative is violent riots.

@Benjamin-Hall Our admin is a metalhead with tattoos all over her body. I imagine she can be pretty intimidating if she wants to. Which may help when the need for expediting deliveries comes.

@Atazhaia
You'll have my 18 keys of coffee to the office by tomorrow, or face the consequences! And trust me, you don't want to face the consequences!

She just sent them this

@Atazhaia
Is it really "all over" and how did you find that out? Inquiring minds want to know.

@Applied-Mediocrity Staff party with jacuzzi present. Not fully all over, but most of the body covered in it from what I could see as obviously some parts were covered.
-
@Atazhaia What kind of company has staff parties with a Jacuzzi? Can i PM you and learn the name of the company?

@izzion
Status: Satisfied my curiosity... apparently, in an industrial/commercial setting, there are estimates of a yield of 80-120 cups of coffee per kilo.So 18 keys (or 1440-2160 cups) will probably last @Atazhaia's office like... a week?

That's not such a good idea. I've seen instant coffee grow mold after the expiration date. It's nasty.

@stillwater The kind where the boss lives in a near-mansion with all the luxuries and does the staff parties at his place because he can. Beware of the foxes, however. They will steal your shoes.

It's outside. By the time the alarm triggers they'd likely be inside the house already.
You need to connect a camera to it too. Name And Shame!

Much longer than that and you're unlikely to get anything useful out of it.

Wouldn't the mold improve the instant coffee?

It's hard to imagine it could make it worse.
