Shared servers…. really?

Kocureq — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:54:18 +0000

Just got a mail saying that

I got the update as applications A and B would be shared by different servers

What exactly do you mean by “shared servers”?

Trouble… shooting?

Instalisation

A new outsourced team is starting their work and they started asking about different things – in a weird way. See this part of conversation…

new team: Just doubt
new team: Instalisation Time Licence should be known by DBA Team
old employee: Well, not really. DBA are not owners of the licences …. as business requested for this project, business along with Project Manager should arrange licences …
new team: Just doubt ..Project Manager should arrange licences …before instalisation

What in the world is Instalisation Time Licence?

Overcomplicated grammar forms

One common thing you’ll notice that you get overcomplicated frammar forms when they want to say something simple.

I just got the following answer to a simple request “Please send me the link to X”:

This is to keep you informed that the latest version of X is available in the Share point portal under the location

Indian logic

Kocureq — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:34:32 +0000

A search form within an application searches for a data file in wrong location. Instead of folder A, it searches in folder B.

What do you do to fix it? Change the search form?

No.

By Indian logic, you move the file to folder B. If your data cannot be found by crappy search tool, change the data, not the tool And don’t even care that the next application release will again install this file into folder A.

An email from a support group

Please do the needful. The customer is on fire.

What did they try to say? “It’s urgent”
