Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Today was a Day. Note to staff: never install the dev package on the ops system. NEVER.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This kid gets it, and you can watch him get it!

Awwww.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was kind of hoping the kid was getting the Banana Bunker, but that was even better.

Earlier this afternoon, I wondered why I don't just listen to a lot of Prince while I work. Or "work." It turns out the answer is, because I literally stop doing anything else to sing along with most of the songs. Oops.

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

never install the dev package on the ops system. NEVER.

Had it been installed and tested on dev beforehand?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

One down side to the warmer weather we're having this week is that my lab turns into a sauna. (There must be something wonky with the heating system, because the temperature in the room is about ten degrees warmer than the temperature in the hall) Nothing like peeling off nitrile gloves and having your hands be dripping wet...

It goes dev->test->ops. They delivered the test version (correct) AND the dev (which just went to test, but hasn't actually started testing yet.) Install procedure unpacks the highest version number. Which was the dev. Which contains major database changes. So naturally, crashed and burned and confused the fuck out of everyone.

Uh, oops?

There's a firm sort of lockdown on dev->QA->production promotion at my current company for code, but I'm currently convinced that we're going to bump into data issues, since our QA box is being used by the production team for staging. It's a convoluted DMZ/firewall configuration, and we're having severe terminology issues.

It'll all get hashed out before we go live, I'm sure. I'm just impatient that I haven't managed to explain myself well enough to my boss yet to communicate where I think things are fuzzy.

eta: You just made me miss the unedited thread. But with my current sticky laptop keyboard, every thread is a bit unedited these days.
