I’d say Programmers do find it hard to function in normal society. 
The programmer I have to work with is the biggest gimp I have ever met. Doesn’t wear a belt, has shit facial hair, odd as fuck and walks around wearing the cheapest Casio watch and drives a 10 year old Ford Fiesta. He boils my blood to look at let alone talk to
Yeah, I know the way mate.
Shameless appearance about them. God forbid a customer would ever actually walk into our office unannounced, the state of some of the lads here.
Endless discussions in the canteen about the latest .net libraries etc…
The things that irk me most about these fellas is that they have no idea of their true net worth. There are 2 guys I knew win my last company who if they walked out in the morning the place would literally fall apart. Both these fellas have been in the same place for over 10 years. One of them told me he is pulling a 45K salary in the place and had a pleased smile as he told me… I split my hole laughing as I walked away.
If he jumped ship he could demand 70k easy.
Nothing worse than being the primary on call contact for a CFT. Stuck here for the last 2 hours with a Technical Infrastructure/EDI issue that has sweet FA to do with me yet I can’t walk away and wash my hands of it.
Handy overtime but it would sicken your shit all the same
Anyone good with php and wordpress conditional functions? :ph34r:
No
yes there are.
Just not here. I figured it out anyways, I’d be good that way.
I am currently trying to resolve an issue with regards Unix Queues and Printers for one of the African facilities I support. The IT person they have on site might as well be looking into a field of thistles as be looking at a printer.
3 hours and counting of my day wasted with this so far and no end in sight

Oh man… The Africans are a different breed when it comes to IT.
DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE QUEUE AND BOUNCE THE BOX TO FCUK PUKE.

Got BASIS to do that hours ago. Looks as though the daft cunts went switching and moving printers around the place and just expected them to work fine when turned back on.

Finally a bit of progress, she now realises that it is two separate printers I am talking about and not one printer with two different names:rolleyes:.
This woman is dense as fuck
Can someone from the Guild assist me here.
I have created a doument which contains hyperlinks to several other douments. I have posted the main document online along with the documents which are linked to it and have updated the hyperlinks with their new URLs. They open fine for me and my colleagues here in the UK but I have had some colleagues outside of the UK test it and the links won’t open.
Keep getting the same messages: unable to open http//XXXXXXX.XXX.XXX.doc. Cannot download the information you require
Do I need to put a hyperlink base in the original document or what is the issue here
Are they published openly online? As in could anyone access them?
Or are they published on some sort of Intranet? Are you sure the people from outside the UK have the correct permissions to access the area where the linked documents are stored?
Fuck sake, thread needs to be re-titled menial IT Service Desk shenanigans
Yes, they could be on a different domain also.

Anyone from the company would have access to the website. The files are saved on the same site as the original document which opens fine as do the links in isolation
This is quite possible, although they can open the original document fine
Can they open the links by copying and pasting them into a browser? Are they https links or anything?
Yes, they are http links to word documents, and they are also saved in the same folder in the website and work fine in isolation
