| Myrtti | personally think it's a bad idea, but they must have enough economics experts whispering in the ear to justify it | 08:14 |

| m0nkey_ | We're getting close to opening up over here. We're just a handful of cases each day in the province. Alberta removed all restrictions the other day. | 14:58 |
| m0nkey_ | While I agree the restrictions are necessary, it's now getting to the point (at least here in Quebec) that we can start treating it more like the flu. We have a high vaccination rate and the aim is to have 75-80% of the Quebec population fully vaccinated by end of August. | 15:00 |
| m0nkey_ | I get my second vaccine in two weeks. Hoping soon I'll be able to visit the UK in Sept/Oct time. | 15:01 |
| m0nkey_ | Myrtti: If I do end up visiting, it'll be nice to see you & D. | 15:06 |
| Myrtti | September is a tough time with the weekday necessity of being home, but yes. | 15:08 |
| Myrtti | I've not even dreamt of seeing my family this year. it's close to three years now that we've seen | 15:10 |
| m0nkey_ | Fingers crossed you get to see them soon. | 15:33 |
| bigcalm | Client's message in response to being told we don't do Friday deployments/launches: We have told clients the site will be live on Monday, so if we cant launch on Friday then I supposed it will need to be Monday morning. | 15:38 |
| bigcalm | Why don't clients ask developers when they can deploy before telling the world when things will happen? | 15:39 |
| daftykins | launch shouldn't even mean customer facing launch, should be a 24 hour dry run :( | 15:46 |
| zxm-pi | when has a masive deploymen ever gone wrong? :-P | 15:49 |
| zxm-pi | my personal facvourite was we installed it on a friday evening ready for monday. storm that night caused building next door to collapse and drop rocks on shiny new server. that was a busy weekend :-) | 15:52 |
| bigcalm | Ouch | 15:54 |
| zxm-pi | luckily when rain soaked rocks hit the server they tripped the power which saved the server. took a microwave sized rock off the pc. used lump hammer to beat it back into shape. dusted off and used hair dryer on motherboard. plugged in. switched on. IT'S *ALIVE* \o/ | 15:56 |
| zxm-pi | back when pcs were made with solid steel cases | 15:57 |
| zxm-pi | big secuity company. was cool to see all the contractors they had on retainer. electricians, glaziers, carpeting all in and out and building fixed by monday morning | 15:58 |
| daftykins | xD | 16:08 |
| daftykins | then the HDDs failed Tuesday morning... | 16:08 |
| bigcalm | I would have expected quite a bit of shock damage. Especially if the heads were moving at the time | 16:09 |
| zxm-pi | hdds.... 1 single 110mb esdi drive blessed by novell :-D | 16:10 |
| daftykins | me too | 16:10 |
| zxm-pi | drive was a full height tank that could have been used as a door stop while in use :-) | 16:11 |
| zxm-pi | i'm sure it was last esdi drive we ever used | 16:12 |
| zxm-pi | no wait, 3rd last. we got another one, filled it up in a week and then got a 330mb one for office server. that was the last | 16:14 |
| bigcalm | Google image search for esdi does not return the results I was expecting here | 16:28 |
