[07:15:04] <boru> Bytram; if you're looking for a new keyboard, you should consider the boruboard. It comes with a plethora of useful features, and everyone will think you're cool. For an extortionate fee with practically zero return, you could achieve project founder status! Invest! Invest!
[07:16:59] <boru> On a more serious note, I'm in the throes of collecting/cleaning up my open mechanical keyboard design for bitbucket. I'll have a few test PCBs soon, so if you've got a soldering iron...

[11:56:17] * cmn32480 kicks the firewall at work
[11:56:34] <Bytram> I had some trouble yesterday, but seems to have cleared up when I got a new IP addy
[11:56:41] <Bytram> correlation / causation?
[11:56:43] <Bytram> I dunno
[11:56:48] <cmn32480> nah... mine is the firewall.. it si showing some other odd behavior
[11:57:21] <Bytram> sorry to hear that
[11:57:32] <cmn32480> meh.. probably fixable by a reboot.
[11:57:50] <cmn32480> just can't exactly do that at this time of day without bringin people to a crashing halt
[11:57:56] <cmn32480> no worries
[11:58:05] <cmn32480> I'll schedule it for tonight around 3am
[11:58:13] <Bytram> nod nod
[11:58:13] <cmn32480> then it'll all be broke when they come in for work
[11:58:19] <Bytram> yays!

[11:59:35] <cmn32480> lol
[12:00:00] <Bytram> True story: had a developer at a place I worked at...
[12:00:19] <Bytram> was being sent out to customer sites to fix *major problems*
[12:00:26] <Bytram> (mainframe OS)
[12:00:43] <Bytram> would stay on-site for a day or two, get things running and then return
[12:01:05] <Bytram> got bonuses for fixing things up and pulling mgmts butt out of the fires
[12:01:18] <Bytram> until someone pointed out that he was fixing bugs that he had put into the code
[12:01:18] <cmn32480> he was planting the bugs?
[12:01:25] <Bytram> not intentionally
[12:01:35] <Bytram> he just was not as good as he thought he was
[12:01:54] <Bytram> "What the hell is all this crap doing in here? Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete."
[12:02:29] <Bytram> ^^^ actual statement I overheard from him
[12:02:38] <cmn32480> nice
[12:03:35] <Bytram> eventually, mgmt finally got the clue[bat] and stopped sending him out and giving his work closer scrutiny... things stabilized after that, IIRC
[12:03:38] <cmn32480> that time I was up almost 10 min
[12:03:51] <Bytram> is a shame, in a way. he was a pretty nice guy and a hard worker.
[12:03:52] <cmn32480> before i dropped
[12:03:59] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:04:15] <Bytram> did you getmy e-mail?
[12:04:20] <cmn32480> sounds liek the QA guys weren't doing so great a job
[12:04:53] * cmn32480 goes to look
[12:04:57] <Bytram> wll, you see, development was behind, and the shipment date was fixed, so they were adding problems faster than we could find them.
[12:05:04] <cmn32480> I've been so underwater the last couple weeks....
[12:05:11] <Bytram> {{ cmn32480 }}
[12:05:18] * Bytram rummages around for a snorkel
[12:05:22] <cmn32480> happens every July..
[12:05:25] * Bytram finds snorkel...
[12:05:36] * Bytram looks deeper for fins and scuba gear
[12:05:57] <Bytram> so, there is a break ahead?
[12:06:17] <cmn32480> soon as this porject is done
[12:06:36] <Bytram> very best wishes for ya on that one
[12:06:46] <cmn32480> it is a flurry of about 3-4 weeks of a lot of hours to meet a deadline
[12:06:57] <cmn32480> then things go back to (relative) normal
[12:07:03] <Bytram> how much longer?
[12:07:10] <cmn32480> couple weeks
[12:07:18] <cmn32480> deadline is August 1
[12:08:00] <cmn32480> short version is that we get a big job that comes in around June 20, and has to be out by July 1.
[12:08:17] <Bytram> oy!
[12:08:19] <cmn32480> it is about 1/3 of the total annual work for this one particular customer
[12:08:26] <Bytram> yowza!
[12:08:28] <cmn32480> not July 1, August 1
[12:08:31] <cmn32480> sorry
[12:08:39] <cmn32480> silly fingers
[12:08:44] <Bytram> and there's nothing you can do in advance to prep? Or get them to get you what you need, earlier?
[12:08:45] <cmn32480> ~gday bytram
[12:08:58] <Bytram> exec has been on hiatus for a couple days
[12:09:03] * cmn32480 wonders when exec shit
[12:09:07] <Bytram> is prolly his summer vacation
[12:09:16] <cmn32480> kuikely
[12:09:21] <cmn32480> likely
[12:09:23] <Bytram> about 2-3 days, IIRC
[12:09:26] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:09:45] <Bytram> would love to chat, but I needs to be getting ready for work... will hopefully pop in for a moment before I head out the door.
