Technically Speaking....




Let me tell you about the mail from our COO, none of the recipients were able to make out what did he mean by that. Before that I will tell you the background. One of the sister concern’s web site is having some problem, there few issues with the image loading , unfortunately there is no technical persons at the sister concerns office, they called up our technical team and said they are having some problem with their web server so their site is not working properly, please look into it, naturally our technical persons asked what is the issue, they got the reply “ our site was on PHP and now we changed it to Dynamic” that caused the issue, support guys didn’t ask anything more knowing the level of knowledge of the person they are speaking. Finally the support guys found out it was the problem with the application they are hosted, the code is not working fine, its not the issue with web server and they informed the sister concern “ The problem is due to the application error and not because of any web server issue” naturally the mail was copied to the COO, so it will be a shame if he commented on that, he never spoils any opportunity to show his “Technical Knowledge”, being a technical person he know each and everything and have solutions also. He send a mail to all the recipients with the following sentences “It is not application error. It is lack of preference based ordering feature in their website admin part.” . Support guys are searching for people who can explain the matter as somebody can really understand, even though the sender’s intention was show his technical knowledge and it should not understand by anybody.

Please if anybody able to interpret the information he was trying to convey… please send a mail… or put it in comment.. our support guys really needs it.

The Age of Stupid



This is a post after a long time . So there are US incidents this time , recently four guys went to onshore for a project . There are lot of incidents to fill a page here presenting with few of them (selected)
1. Our guy went to the client side for the work started the work, he was provided with a new build of the application, his boss at the client side didn’t get any update even after few hours. So his boss send him an email .





Hi,
Where are you with the Build, update me with the status ASAP

Thanks
XXXXXXXXX

He read the mail, he was working with build and he replied to his boss

2. Week end he goes out, an d he felt he need a camera, to shoot his travels, he asked opinion from friends and finally he bought a camera Nikon Coolpix. The very next weekend he gone out for a trip and started taking picture on his new camera. When he was taking pictures, he said to his friends, when I am taking picture the camera itself says its coolpix what else to say. He continues shooting enthusiastically. Finally he tried to download the picture to laptop; he couldn’t found any photos on that. Then only his friends came to know about the reality, while taking pictures he was pressing the power button, and the message coolpix was coming in every reboot of the camera…….
3. This incident is also related to his camera, our guy with his friends went to Florida, a very long drive, they visited an oceanarium there. His friends wanted to take a picture with dolphin in their back side, they asked him look back and to click when dolphin jumps. He turned his head to his back and clicked for the snap. What an Idea….. enthuparanjalum pettennu mansilavum…
4. This is also happened in the same trip, they stopped at a rest area as they were driving for a long time ,he was hungry , then come the statement “ I am hungry we could have eat something if there is any restroom”…….
