    I love my customers

    I just had a bug report from a system I maintain for one of my customers. They dilligently took a screen shot. Then printed the screenshot out. Then scanned it in to a pdf. Then emailed me the pdf.



    I love it.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        MF, you of all people should know, if people are buying, then we are selling.

        I am simply a contractwhore. Big ClientCo needs me to be a BA. A fair few little ClientCos require me to be developer/analsyt/ba/data modeller.

        I am just awesome and get paid well for it.

        Jealous sledge boy?

          IDIOTS!! They could've cut the first two processes down to just one if they had a brain!

            How stupid, they could have taken a photo of the screen, scanned the negative, printed it out and then scanned the picture into MS Office Faxand Scan, export to Open Office via MS Word then pdf it.

                Client co have a team of content administrators that are rather grandly called "web engineers".

                One of them got a new job, which required him to know php. Knowing this guy had no coding skills whatsoever, I politely inquired how he intended to blag it when he arrived. "Oh," he says, "I had a look at their website which is written in php. I did a 'view source' and it looks just like HTML."

                  Why doesn't your system contain error reporting, which will integrate with MAPI and send an email along with the error message to [email protected] ?

                  If you felt generous you could probably code that up in a hour or so, and blow their minds and get kudos.
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
