Clearly - staying canonical, if not in the same book - Chris is Aragorn II, son of Arathorn.
Me? I'd like to think Smaug ... but more likely Gollum.

I've always thought of Smaug as being female, and Gollum is nasssty. Doesn't work either.
How about Tom?

Happy birthday Griff.
Well I got to work to a power cut which took 2 hours to resolve (well maybe as they the electric company are sending a ground crew to see what the fault is) and potentially we could lose power to the office for up to 2 days.
Good thing you say? nah I'd then have to go home don the DIY outfit and fix things with small children trying to help and then she'll moan as a 5 minute job could take a an hour etc etc.

Get the company to hire a generator: think of the amount of work they will lose without electricity - the telephone exchange won't work, customer order will build up, ... And it's going to get seriously cold, according to the news.
Mind you, round here the electricity company turns up with BIG generators and plumbs them in while they fix the problem, if it's going to take that long.

We have a Disaster Recovery site (the fun on having a multi national parent company) for these kind of situations but application development are then not considered critical so we are sent home in these situations.

In a word, "Yes"!
One of the good reasons for having a cat rather than a dog is that you don't have to follow it around picking up it's faeces ... 
And I like steak much more than I like little bits of pasta.

Glad to know I was born a week after you on the calendar. I think you have a couple of years on me from some other post recently.
Hope my birthday goes better than yours. But at least we are still having them.

Herself kept apologising for "Ruining my birthday" but as I said - if I'd been 8YO, then yes, it would have been ruined. As it was, I didn't get to eat what I wanted - not a major problem, the steaks are in the freezer and I'd eat 'em when she's better. The cat poo I could have lived without...

Hi All,
I am testing some code in a new version of an old product. It has suddenly started to pass a test it shouldn't. Time to dig deeper or time to report it and pass it on? I'm think its time to go deeper but am not sure?
|
|
|
|
|
I'd dig deeper - sound like the test is faulty, and that could impact current equipment.

It is finally happening! Your code has become self-aware and has fixed itself.

NOT my code! I'm testing it

If it doesn't smoke, ship it.

Hmmm, Silicon Oxide and Carbide, Umm no thanks!
|
|
|
|

Since it isn't your code, dig deeper... find out what is wrong.
Document what you are seeing, what you find, and what you do to resolve the issue.
