Snactched af Ufielisten, jeg troede jeg havde hørt alle de gode BOFH historier:
I can’t comprehend how some people *work*. Just when you thought
you’d seen it all …
We have those BOFH excuse style notifications [1] on a sidebar of
our intranet startpage (along with a “random password” and the
staff canteen menu) to show a random “current IT problem” every
time the page is loaded. That little script sits there since
THREE YEARS NOW.
Finally, this morning one of our senior smartcard
developers (!!) comes over to my office and asks:
“I’ve seen the current IT problem is ‘/dev/null — filesystem
full!’ (he read that from a handwritten note he had taken!)
Does that effect the backups I’m about to make?”
I’d honestly couldn’t think of something smarter to reply than
“No worries, the system automatically switches to /dev/one if
/dev/null is full …”. Made him happy, though.
How is a week supposed to turn out if it starts like this???
