I see that, thanks to Microsoft and CrowdStrike not having tested their update properly, the world has come to a standstill.
How in God's name can the world be so reliant on just one system? Madness!

According to W, at least in the old days, Microsoft were renowned for testing their systems by waiting until customers complained.
Is this now the norm? Seeing as how Boeing seem to be doing similar? :eek: :eek: :eek:
This is why a mate of ours who worked for Marconi on aircraft systems stopped working for them, being continuously asked to sign off on systems that had not been properly tested.
Feel so sorry for peeps being affected by this.
So we deffo ain't going out today!

Microsoft do test fings. So does crowdstrike but this one slipped frew. Any medium to large company will control updates oft their own wus sus server, having tested it themselves. It seems a lot of companies dun't, from the count of thems caught oot. Ours does.

Tis an easy fix but its manually done on effected machines.

There's lots of spoof stuff about microsoft poor testing. Fings would be a lot worser if it were true. Software is so complex these days wiv the way it interacts wiv fings.

In my last job we had a very strict policy that EVERY change was for a SINGLE item, not multiple changes at once; and all changes had to have a roll-back plan to ensure that if things went wrong the reversion could be rapid and minimise outages and down-time.
 
Me bin were emptied this week. Filled it wiv tree and bush cuttings. Bort meself a rose. Fink its yella. Garden centre dun't av many. Eye remembered worreye were told. Dun't go for the flowers. Get one wiv a balanced good netwurk of stems. Eye would normally get the discounded poorly one because eye feel sorry ferrit.

The miners are back. Bin ter bnq and wix for a look at fings and ant powder. Gottid some small blue pellits made of sugar un poison. They eat en and take em to the nest before snuffing it.
 
Had a bit of a "wobble" this arvo.
The black dog paid me a call. :(
Really hate it when this happens.
Wife asked me what was up and I really struggled to put it into words.
Finally got it expressed and expunged and back on an even-keel. :)
It was all about coping with the transition from "do anything gung-ho bloke" to feeling like I am semi-invalid status.
I am just so shocked at how nadgered I have become in so few years.

Found some stuff in the shed this week for killing ants. ('Er indoors has a good selection of snake oils in the shed). Its in capsules, like the things yer chuck in the washing machine, put it in a watering can with a gallon of water and wait for it to dissolve. Then sprinkle on the ants nests. Killed them all in a few minutes.
 
Medium squirrel has had 2 nits. Small trusting one 5 nuts. Just bin oot to hang me washing. Small one on me slabs. Shot up the fence, paused to look at me then up to the garage apex and paused then disappeared. He would normally be gone straight away. Eye were down the botton of me garden and eye heard the fence rattle. He were back on me slabs. Keeping an eye on me but lookering for food. Then left via me fence. So thats another improvement. Only feeding nuts when eye is there is gerrin them to trust me more but still from a distance they feel safe. Distance is reducing. Second wash just gone in.

Had a beer with some fellas I int seed for years last night. One, we'll call him Andy, coz that's his name told me he'd had a stroke about seven years ago. He was lucky, since he was already in the hospital due to fluid on the lungs and AF (180bpm, eeep). He answered a call on his mobile to find he could no longer speak, which was odd, and waved a nurse over.. 'you're having a stroke' and a three alarm fire scenario ensued.

He's ok, but is still on half a dozen pills to control this and that, he's just fifty eight.

Point is, he re-evaluated his life and no longer works silly hours or weekends, avoids stress and will retire in a couple of years. He's content to still be here and not like some he saw on the stroke ward. 'Good enough..'

Its frightening when you seen someone having a stroke, I found my old neebs who is no longer with us. R.I.P my old friend,
he was talking gibberish to me an I seen it right away so got the ambulance called ect He recovered from it but wouldnt stop
smoking or drinking as he said it was too late to stop the damage was done. What happened after that was horrible but I wont
go into that atm. Glad Andy has recovered. :)

Got an old tele given me but it wont tune in to any programmes, no picture at all just the same when you remove the aerial, do old teles not work on new signals ??

Yer need a digital receiver box if there ain't one int telly. If there ain't said telly will be trying to pick up the ole analogue signal which is no more. Well it is in places like liverpool where they only watch 80's repeats of bread and alverdersane pet.

Funny that my mate said the same, massive house with pool & the grounds that you could play golf in. He spent all his
time looking after the place than doing anything else. Now he has sold the big hoose moved into a lodge on a caravan
site & gets everything done for him. He doesnt even cut his own grass :oops: Goes fishing/walks on the big beach with his
dog. Sounds great but id need a garage or unit to do stuff. :):)

Quite!
One massive house is about the same as two reasonable 4 bed places. so guess what I spend my time doing?
Flipping repairs and maintenance.:(
We honestly thought that getting a new place built with plastic windows etc would stop all that!
Huh!:(
