Some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning
-
A Kansas farm wife called the local phone company to report her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found: 1 . The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel chain and collar. 2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose. 3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number was called. 4.. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then urinate. 5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone to ring. Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and moaning. Thought you'd like to know.

He must be out checking lines or I'm sure he'd have one too!

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun -

Version 3.0 now available. There is no place like 127.0.0.1Can't we set this up in a way that the call will be made automatically when the last build had errors? Of course without the dog. For that part we have a whole team of Java programmers typists.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

I'm thinking something could be set up but would require a wet floor and bare feet. :)

The floor now is constantly wet and I don't really want to know how it gets that way. Normally I would feel sorry for them, but they like it that way. Up to now they have managed to turn every project into a death march.

I don't envy you I remember, and not fondly those days of deadlines and Miss Management that caused me to work crazy hours and be away from my family.

No matter how bad it gets, they still hold on to their 'proven' rules and rituals and still cry 'sacrilege' when you suggest a different approach. They will never learn.

Most humans are afraid of change, once blood has been drawn they are driven by instinct.
