They’ve Shut Down My Database…
Well, they haven’t shut it down…there’s some system upgrade going on here at work so I can’t get into it for a bit. In my boredom I decided to put up a new poll because I’m coy like that.
Get your vote on here…

NR ReadyToRock 2009

‘Allo all,
Just dropping by to let you know that we hope everyone has enjoyed their wintery holidays, and despite the lack of updates lately (things like Kilian finishing his Masters degree, and oh, having a new child ((congratz and well done Katrina, Kilian and little Bella there)) kinda’ got in the way along with the More >
My concentration is…what’s that word that means you can’t find something?

I really feel like I’ve been run over by a truck today. At lease three times today I’ve had to rouse myself from staring blankly at my computer screen, and each time can’t for the life of me remember what I was doing beforehand.
I suppose this matters little to anyone (including myself), but I’m More >

Ok, for those that have been following the recent antics of NR, and our current…erm, struggle with our ‘faithful’ Coding Goblins (much despite the excellent efforts of our own Exsulis) have probably noticed some cosmetic changes to the old Normality. We ain’t done yet, but(!) I do have some new stuff to bring to everyone More >

So you’re bored like I’ve been all week except for the poo incident

Woo, finally a new poll!

As far as I can tell, the server has not yet spouted poo, no.

Well in addition to the spout there was spraying, and a boom as the pipe burst.

Any idea as to why the pipe burst?

In fact I do. Someone saw that it was backing up, and instead of calling a plumber they decided that increasing the pressure would “Blow the plug.” And I’ll grant that it indeed did blow a plug(read as the side wall of the sewer line) that was over a foot long. Though I’m not sure as to what caused the secondarly burst. Which was much more chunky than the spray from the first boom.
I’ll trade this mess for the alarm fire from last month, or the time the power grid exploded. As each incident didn’t smell this bad, and we had pretty pink flames.

you may be able to get some flames with the poo but i doubt they will be pink in color.

That only works if there is enough flamable gases mixed in, and a ignition source.

Is this really a discussion we’re having, I mean, we already get the furry crowd, the racist video game players, and now we’ll get the poo fetishists…
about 2 years ago
Yes, I think we need all the fetishists we can get. Though you do have to find the humor in exploding poo. My god man it went 40ft up in the air, and it is now stuck to the CEILING!! Granted, the smell is rather untastful but at least I don’t work in that part of the facility.

It’s official…I’m never setting foot in the shop again. Not with the danger of petrified feces falling down on my head from above.

It is okay to be in my work area just not the fab part, the mess area, or near the employee restrooms. So that only covers a third of the building.
