| (3:03:04 PM) Zsenitan:
Anyway the New Magic Business Machine is a problem. (3:05:10 PM) Guy At Work yeah it is (3:05:27 PM) Zsenitan: What's the sentiment about it in Dev right now? (3:06:19 PM) Guy At Work it's very irritating when the fate of your department is tied to something that works so poorly, isn't really your fault, and was advised against to begin with (3:07:05 PM) Guy At Work I imagine there's bits of that going around (3:12:56 PM) Guy At Work I'll have to think about the problem when it's better defined (3:13:19 PM) Guy At Work Well, I guess before that I have to handle envelope OCR (3:15:26 PM) Zsenitan: oh ho that's still coming up is it? (3:15:38 PM) Guy At Work that's my mission starting monday (3:17:33 PM) Guy At Work i don't expect they will have selected an OCR vendor by then (3:17:46 PM) Zsenitan: I hope they think about it a little longer (3:17:52 PM) Zsenitan: than they thought about the Business Machine vendor (3:18:51 PM) Guy At Work the important thing is to get the system ready to have any vendor's software incorporated without too much stress (3:21:14 PM) Guy At Work although really, with the luck we've had with vendors so far, i might as well write my own (3:21:37 PM) Guy At Work fucking every vendor has given us something ridiculously shitty (3:21:57 PM) Guy At Work the only people who know their business are fucking office depot (3:22:19 PM) Zsenitan: Yeah (3:22:25 PM) Guy At Work it says something when the rest of your supply chain compares unfavorably to microsoft (3:22:27 PM) Zsenitan: except office depot is two weeks late with a quote for custom printing that they pimped and shoved down my throat (3:23:31 PM) Guy At Work it's not just the New Magic Business Machines. it's the rate shopping software, the smtp client, the load balancers (3:24:14 PM) Guy At Work burn the heretic, kill the mutant, purge the unclean (3:25:25 PM) Guy At Work i go to the store and buy a video game for $50 from a store and it pretty much works (3:25:49 PM) Guy At Work you spend $5000 on some business software and it's complete fucking shit (3:28:20 PM) Guy At Work see, the theory is by banding together in corporations you get something more than the sum of its parts -- people to account for other people's weaknesses and to handle various details they're good at (3:29:13 PM) Guy At Work instead, we appear to have a system in which the dynamic of corporations correspond roughly to junior high schoolers completing their class project the night before its due (3:29:39 PM) Guy At Work only instead of getting a B because there wasn't enough pictures on the poster board, you lose all your money (3:29:54 PM) Guy At Work i gotta go to a meeting (3:34:30 PM) Guy At Work i guess it was cancelled |
