@Tess Tickle did you check the spools on the Linux or Unix runqueue?
No, I’m not a developer
Yes, I will fix your printer
[QUOTE=“Tess Tickle, post: 951215, member: 2269”]I got a USB cable from a neighbour for the evening and printer is working. 
However not working again when i remove the cable, it says printer offline, so i will have to buy my own.[/QUOTE]
Tees, it sounds like your printer might be missing the wireless adaptor. I have a dell wireless printer but for it to pick up the wireless router I needed to get a wireless adaptor that clips onto the back of the printer. It’s similar to one that is used for the Xbox like in the attached pic.
I showed our programmer up for the lazy prick and social retard he is yesterday. He has phoned in sick today
Details, pal. Very quiet here this morning-entertain us.
He’ll only blame the requirements or the architect. Is he one of those fuckers that wears technologically related tshirts…
Like, back the F:\ up.
No harm.
I do something similar on a daily basis. The shit code that gets fired over the fence to our team is shocking at times.
Defects is the game and plenty of them.
What did this cunt do?
Ah it is long winded and boring but he is a prick and I was delighted to show him up.
There has been a long standing issue raised with him just after Christmas. Nothing major, just a batch job that keeps falling over and causing issues for another department and the client as it affects their work and throughput.
Myself and two others in the department meet with him every Monday to prioritise and set his workload for the week and he told us a few of months back that he was on top of it and a fix was immenent and removed it from his worklist.
One of my colleagues is on holidays and asked me to keep an eye on batch jobs this week. Low and behold here no fix has been made and the issue is still happening. Sent him a mail and asked him what the story was to which he sent me a big waffly mail about the selection criteria of the job and how he had changed the code in T and that it needed to be tested thoroughly and how he needed deployment files off the other department and large volume testing etc.
I did a quick debug and found the issue, required me to create two new variants for the job to supercede the old one and the job is now fixed and running as expected and not likely to fail again. Took me about 10 minutes all in and was a simple issue. Sent a mail to him and cc’ed the boss.
He came around a few minutes later telling me that my change in theory was alright but was only “a sticky plaster” and didn’t fix the issue. To which I asked him to explain how it was only a sticky plaster and why would the issue happen again - to which he replied “because I have develeped some code that will do the same thing”.
So I asked him the same question again, to which he asked me what did I mean and I asked him why did he remove it from his worklist and lie to his colleagues about it, why were we 7 months down the road with this issue occuring on an almost daily basis and why was he now trying to get a superflous code tested to fix an issue that had been rectified in 10 minutes to which he started shuffling his feet and trying to get away as quick as he could. Unfortunately the bosses desk is next to mine and heard all the conversation and he proceeded to take him to task over it as well.
No sign of him this morning
You’re a cunt
Its entirely possible he’s topped himself.
Well done Chewy. Programmers should always be kept in line. They are lazy cunts with a god complex.

Wanker. Fight your own battles and don’t be hanging him out to the boss to make you fell better about yourself.
If he had come over and just complemented me on the good job I had done it could have been oh so different
Your a cunt of man but the correct action was taken.
cc’ing the boss in the email meant he was never going to come over and high five you, you set your stall out from the start.
Why didn’t you do the quick debug 7 months ago when this starting failing? Did you want to set the fella up? You’re just as accountable for the 7 months of failure if you knew how to resolve it at the start and let it drag on.
Its good you were able to take your nose out of your bosses hole for long enough to point out the mistakes the lad made
Not my functional area
