For your amusement...

Worked for an MMO company for 8 years, here's a list of stuff that caused extended down time:

  • Server updates were applied by unzipping zip files, but Windows wasn't giving useful errors when we ran out of drive space, so random data was missing from .dat files.
  • License expiration! Wheeeeee
  • Un-optimpized build process meant that once a problem was identified and a fix implemented, we had to wait 3-4 hours for a new build. During this time, QA can't go home.
  • Cowboy devs checking in changes at the last minute so their changes went untested. (Wait a minute...who checked in this divide by zero last night?!?)
  • Inexperienced QA not knowing how to test on a "clean machine" (VMs for the win!)
  • State mismatch between Dev/QA environment and production environment
  • HARD CODED STRINGS. WHYYYYYYYYYYY
  • Unhandled exceptions! Want to see your app crash with no useful info in the logs? Ask me how! Its fun and easy!


Fun times!

Indeed :D

Once there was a girl who went to a Catholic school.

While there, she always fell asleep.

At one point, the teacher called on her and asked "Who is the son of God?"

The boy behind her tried to wake her up so he did so by poking her butt with his pencil.

The girl jumped and yelled "JESUS CHRIST!"

The teacher looked at her surprised and said "Correct!"

Later on the teacher called on her again. This time she asked "Who is our lord in Heaven?"

The boy woke her up again by poking her in the butt with his pencil.

The girl jumped again and yelled "GOD ALMIGHTY!"

The teacher said "Excellent!"

Towards the end of the day, the teacher called on her one last time. She asked her "What did Eve say after Adam and Eve had their 7th child?"

The boy once again poked her in the butt with his pencil.

She jumped and was furious this time. She screamed "IF YOU STICK THAT THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL SNAP IT IN HALF!"

The teacher fainted.

Thank you for the updates. o7
Being in IT and having been through a few downtimes that lasted much longer than expected, and some unexpected downtimes as well, I'd like to offer some advice that's helped me out a lot.
Send somebody out to go get some food, and have the whole team decompress in a conference room for a while.
Talk about stuff other than work.
Elevate the mood. Lower the stress.
Give the analytic and creative thought processes time to regenerate.



I don't think wasting time that could be spent fixing and identifying issues is a good idea right now. Not when there's 50,000 people wanting to use your service.



I work in IT and have banged my head against many issues... then I went out for a smoke and the answer came to me.
