  • Haha, i’d write a thousand pages of documentation before entering ticket hell. I fact I do put a lot of information into the ticket - they still won’t read it though and i’ll have to repeat myself 15 times to 5 different people.

    The solution to this problem. . . I have no idea, but I’m sure they’ll appoint another delivery manager who will get hired by the ones who already know fuck-all to know less than them.

    I’ve found that the few managers who want documentation, get documentation, and the others who want tickets and “story points”, get tickets and fictional bullshit - in general.___


  • I hate remakes, I normally don’t watch them. Even sequels, especially 3rd or more.

    But I believe people - generally - do want to watch remakes, (or formualic films based on cartoons), since that’s all I ever seem to hear about. People seem a lot more likely to talk about “captain bat-spider 5 the egg-sack years” or "starwars the phantom plot connexion " than anything that seems intertesting to me.

    I used to live by a cinema that did cheap mondays a few years ago, I think maybe ‘Looper’ and ‘Sightseers’ I remember seeing there most recently. I’ve doubt I’ve seen a new film since then.I think they’re ‘original ish’?

    I don’t even know where my nearest cinema is in this town, I think theres a small artsy one in town, but for proper cinemas i think you need a car drive out into the sticks fuck that.

    All that aside, I liked lethal weapon 5 more than any other lethal weapon film. Does that count?

















  • yeah, I’ve been rohypnolled by both microsoft and oracle, and general cloud shit , and various co workwers so many times now i barely even notice.

    Hilariosly excel has recently started asking now, I think it says something like: “I’ve just fucked up several columns in your csv that you went to the bother of enquoting.” “Do you want me to reload it and i’ll try to un-fuck a few of those columns? ( whispers to audience - but probably not all of them - tee hee).”

    I think my employer just needs to employ 25-50 more “delivery” managers and empower them to spend millions on a prettier barrel for us to bend over, that’ll solve it. Maybe it’ll have flufffy handcuffs.


  • Even if they did use unicode, any codeset , glyph or language changes over time , ulimately they emerge out of communication, not the other way round.

    If some culture decides they want to use the glyph “2” to mean a word “to”, they can and will, and no codeset is going to stop them. And if they get their message to their intended audience it doesnt matter that somebody else’s isnumber fuction get’s it wrong.

    A person, community or standard codeset or dictionary cannot deny the accuracy or content of encrypted communication just because they can’t decipher it.

    Put another way a more robust isnumber() should maybe have a second argument to specify the codeset being used, and maybe whether written words - in some defined languare - are also to be converted

    On the other hand “1/4/12” is not a fucking date.
