Well, this backend system carries all the history since its launch back in the days when the USSR still existed, so…

That over-engineered sales backend didn’t like it if we send the train conductor’s user name as the inspector identifier for the inspected tickets. That identifier, albeit being handled as an alphanumeric variable in the backend, apparently needs to be 12 characters long series of digits. For fuck’s sake…

FYI

Nope. We thought things would be pretty straightforward, but noooooooo…

Nope. Just some shitty Java server application that requires complicated user/equipment associations and correct user rights/groups in some other old rights management solution.

Le sigh… The sales backend the app needs to talk with is just over-engineered pile of shit. Fucking great.

Thanks . I’ve been listening to Antti Martikainen’s older albums lately and they are good too. The first few albums have less metal tracks (the genre label of those albums is Soundtrack on Apple Music) but they are good nevertheless. Excellent for background music when doing chores etc.

I believe (as well as many others here) will like his music too.

Finished (re)watching the Millenium ”trilogy” [imdb.com] (the original TV mini-series in Swedish with Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyquist). It was still darn good.

Ah, I misread. June, not July. I am working that day, unfortunately. And things at work are certainly hectic in June, there’s a lot to complete before my vacation (the whole July).

I’m on vacation, so in that sense a meetup would be possible. But I need to look after the kids, my wife’s working that day. Therefore I can’t unfortunately come to meet you. ?

Hmm… Weird.
