And me giving them a severe case of shit via Twitter DM, probably did not help their mood….

[Chris]

Probably not.:)

I'm sure you were not alone, though.

This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen.  That's why they pay IT nerds lots of money.  An unexpected crash for a few minutes is one thing, but bombing the system for 10-12 hours is a huge sh!tstorm.  There are going to be a lot of angry meetings at Clook over the next few days, and a couple of people might even be updating their CVs…

You know where the money on lobbying goes, right  ;)?

[jacoavlu]

Thats a terrible thing to happen but I don't understand your point.

i work in ward inhabited by criminals, sex offenders and rapists…. they're not all compliant with medication and sometimes therapeutic communication doesnt cut it. it gets rough at times. i'm in need of things that'll hold up, built to last and take a beating . anyways, due to this, i know psychiatrists and social workers will do more thorough investigations of whom belong there and who should be transferred to a more secure facility. i thought i'd post it for those who heard about it in the news. i was one of the first to respond to that incident
