    Default VS outtage 'mansplained

    My deepest apologies for the outtage. No excuses, my choice a few weeks ago to lean on Cloudfart to make the bad old bots go away was a gamble. The gamble paid off briefly until circumstances changed and you-know-who pooped the nest.

    Without too much hand waving, the service provided is he!! if things go sideways and they did.

    Again, sorry about that. We are back to normal, bots and all ;)

    xxoo, Toots

    Josh what do you want me to do with all these cables I found in the back room? Some of them were a bitch to remove. Like they were soldered in place. Got them all though. Even put out a small fire! Electricity is tricky. BTW don't make toast in the bathtub! I think I just lost about 45 years of memory there. And not the kind that comes stuck on those green plastic widgets either!

    I'm glad I'm not the guy having to detail my testing procedures over at CrowdStrike. I will admit that in a forty year IT career I may have had my hand in one or two train wrecks. I can see it from both sides of the table - the tech getting Hhammered and the manager going what were you thinking... been there on both. I'm so damn glad my biggest problem these days is building a square and level greenhouse sill out of trapezoidal 4x4s.

    I am glad this is not how tech industry and IT department do post mortem nowadays.

    It was interesting how when my company merged with another the techs in the other company were afraid to do anything ever so they never attempted improvements. The culture there was to fix blame, not problems. It was bad enough to be the tech that had to present the facts of how I screwed up with no blame attached because I could always see where and how I could have done something more or different. I didn't need anybody else to assign blame, I took it if I owned it. So when I was on the other side of the table I accepted the blame if one of my guys made a mistake because I knew that they didn't need anybody beating them up, they were beating themselves up enough. When I left it was almost touching how the guys from India said I was the best boss they ever had.
