Random DIY mixing and More

[hittman]

I never did much with PC's. Large-scale mainframe systems was my bread and butter. With upgrades (sw and/or hw) we always did a test run on a backup system first. If everything worked properly then the actual upgrade was scheduled during whatever window the customer set. On that day if it didn't go well we had to be back up and running on the old sw or hw at the planned time.

Those upgrades always involved a lot of people on the customer side to verify everything was properly working.

Our biggest supplier at work changed over to a new system about a year ago and it's just now starting to straighten out. It has been a nightmare ordering and receiving orders from them due to that and then put the supply shortage on top of that. I don't know why they didn't revert back to the old system once they saw how messed up the new one was. At one point they had us on credit hold due to stuff that we ordered that they had on backorder to us. We had placed an extra 200k order to stock up on some machines we sell a lot of and they were on backorder but showed on our account. We had to call and see why our orders weren't shipping and they unlocked our account.

That had to be quite a mess.

I couldn’t get on ECF this morning so I went and did something else. When I tried again it worked.

So far, I've not had issues logging on. Thankfully! Just that navigating and responding are a bit, uh, crippled....

 

[FranC]

I had no problem logging in. Everything else was a problem though.

Glad To be able to post now.

Sounds like a complete cluster fork to me. I have friends who work on the PC side with servers and end user support. Some of the stories they share are just crazy.

I am 100% confident Management is not happy with how the server migration went. They spent many many hours on it yesterday.

The folks working on it will get it everything working. Be patient, this is how things go at times with software.

Yea - I know, almost the same thing happened when they did the first change over to XenoFourm . . . Just hope it doesn't take weeks+ as it then . . . Just Sayin' . . .

I don’t remember if I mentioned it but I mixed 15ml of the Cap. Custard Cake. I want to taste it before deciding what to mix with it. Same with the Shortbread.
Haven’t figured out what to do with the Cap. Wafer Crunch yet. Any ideas?

 

[Uncle]

2 major things I'm finding with the migration that are so annoying. . .

1) Searches are limited especially since most result post from the past are missing or are no longer in existence . . .

2) 3 pages of sorted and saved conversations have now become a 9+ page of a jumbled mess. . . .​

NOT NICE . . .

That really sucks, Uncle I haven’t tried the search feature or anything. Don’t want to push my luck.

Good morning folks,
wife has got the booster, I will be a dog sitter, cook, waiter, vacuum cleaner, for a few days I reckon.
On the way home, I picked up a package. I now have two squonk bottles, but will buy it from Sunbox as well, Cabby v5, both types since shipping costs are as much as 2 bottles, and will buy spare bottles as well.
The Lukkos squonk bottle that arrived today is really nice though
