Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hmm. I'd be willing to bet that someone has probably hotlinked to Jess's post with her link to her spoiler summaries for episodes 1 and 2, rather than to, oh, her actual summaries page.

I asked the question. Was there any kind of post and watch for the Emmys?

Nope. 'Fraid not.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Whoa! We just skipped from post 4919 to 4924 above.

Kristen, no, there isn't really any post and watch for the Emmys. Not in Natter, anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, does Jon have the keys in case of emergency?

Jon has the mental keys (PHP, and working on SQL), but not the literal keys.

So far things are segmented thus:

  • Jon and I have access to the test site, code, and database.
  • I have access to trouble ticket submission
  • I have access to production code and database

This might later be moot, but part of the problem is how stuff is segmented. I have more keys than I want, because of how the passwords are set up. I don't want anything that buts onto the financial having the account stuff -- that's all Jesse. And the keys to the production code ARE those keys.

There needs, IMO, to be a separation between the tech and the account admin (CC info, etc). Because I'm already leery of how much I've had to blur the lines, I'm hesitant to propagate that.

Perhaps, in the not too distant future, that can be remedied.

And no, I don't scale. Not at all.
