    It finally happened. I thought i was just a part of IT jokes but someone finally complained to me "The system doesn't work on the server is shut down". I think my internal system crashed because my mind went into a loop trying to find a way to handle this user complain without recurring to violence. Has anyone got a real situation like this?

        I was looking for something appropriate for a double Leslie Neilsen such as this. I got this oddly titled youtube vid: double shot mould injection groupon london weather leslie nielsen [^] Nothing to do with him at all. Such Disappoint.

          There might be a few missing words in what you quoted, but it could be a valid complaint. How gracefully does your app handle the case where a server is no longer accessible? You can display a nice error message, or you can crash and burn and lose the user's work in progress.

            Hi, I wish it was not handled :sigh: , but it does say that it can't connect to the server. Actually it has been worked on to display the message in Portuguese. The problem here was that they were concerned about the energy bill.

              So, somebody shut down a server to save power?? What sort of setup are they running? Introduce these people to virtualization. Here at home, I have 10+ virtual machines running 24/7 off of one consumer-grade computer that registers on my UPS at a mere 65W.

                Hahaha.... Now you are getting a grasp of what I mean.. I could try that as an explanation, but having them using a server was already hard. I might wait a bit longer for that.

                  It's a little mind-blowing that people expect total resilience in the software they use, but they're willing to do things that break a production environment to save a few bucks.

                      Some years back, either here or somewhere else I read a story about a company that wanted to add people to their database before they visited so they'd already have the data and not have to spend time getting the data when a new customer contacted them... :sigh: Sooo.... you want to add everyone in the world on the off chance that they might some day want to do business with you? :wtf:

                      You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
