RE: The server is full, we are right on it! ... "right" being a few weeks.
You know the real reason people abbreviate it IT is most developers refuse to say they are "in IT" because they see people who manage the system as lower life forms.

RE: WTF jobs advert
This reminds me of the idiot hiring managers who ask my college GPA when I am 30 and have 8 years of experience at companies just like theirs showing consistant top reviews/promotions.

I once ran across a rather "clever" implementation of bit columns. The original developer had decided to combine the values of several checkboxes on a form into a single integer value, using bit logic, and store that in the database....
I can beat that. As referenced here, an Oracle product with which I am blessed to work associates a unique prime number with each defined attribute, and identifies which attributes are selected for use on a given record by storing the product of the associated prime numbers. A DIY bitfield would be luxury by comparison, and probably wouldn't suffer the same sort of overflow issues.My god, one of my co-workers was showing off just this trick to me the other day.

RE: High Five
We get points which translate to things like amazon gift certificates. They are usualy given by PMs for well done projects. I don't mind, they look good when discussing performance at year end.
