That's the bunny! My brain was farting and it wouldn't tell me. Thanks.

You're welcome. I'll raise a virtual Gin to celebrate :)

I thought I smelled something. :~

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

When talking to management, I call it the Operating Environment. With nerds, you can go with WSOGMM (Whole-Sort Of General Mis-Mash). Shout out to Douglas Adams. If you're talking to marketers, call it the Mist (because it can be local, right?) and they'll go all gooey. Because they think it's a marketing term that refers to the Cloud. When talking to techs, I use a different word. Notably: why isn't my %$&^ running on your #$&*!!!

Does your software frolic in the autumn mist in the land called Honali?

No, but it does have gorillas.

"FrameWork," or, "Application Context"

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Infrastructure

[Moreno Airoldi]

Underlying IT Infrastructure ? :)

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but not in practice. - Anonymous A computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. - B. Bryson

Engineers would call this ancillaries.

Application Execution Environment

Ecosystem

[NedPat]

Describing databases and external connectivity as rubbish does provide a clue to the poor performance of so many applications. Aren't they integral to the application?
