postSilly, silly hosting - Meta - 25th August

Our hosting company (I’m not bitter enough to mention their name) were doing an “upgrade” of the server admin software and everything went a bit mad. The HDD failed as they were doing the upgrade and so they had to restore from an earlier backup. This meant that all of my saved mail was deleted and the sites content is about a week old. I had loads of stuff saved in a folder in my IMAP box which is the most annoying thing EVAR. Registration numbers for software etc… grrrrrrrr

postShenanigans - Books - 2nd August

Charlie Stross popped into work today to have a chat but mainly to sign some copies of his latest sci-fi work Singularity Sky.

Which reminds me of a conversation with one of the regular ‘crazies’ at work. She approaches the desk and everyone else scatters to the farthest recesses of the shop, leaving me to bear the brunt of whatever notion she has dreamt up today. It went something like this:

HER: “Can I ask you a book related question?”

ME: “No, sorry.”

HER: “Do you know anything about books?”

ME: “Nope, not a thing.”

HER: “Then why do you work here?”

ME: “I really don’t know…”

HER: “Do you know where I could ask then?”

ME: *thinks* “You could try the Balmoral hotel, just across the road.” *points*

HER: “Really? ok…” (random nonsense etc as she wanders off)

or was I too harsh? YOU decide…
