So, you are saying that the IT is being IT just because they need to be IT. That leads to things like this. Sigh.

Ah, I should have been more specific. My tool of choice would automatically regenerate the script/commands every time (if there's a change in any of the parameters, that is) I would invoke the build command. That way I would always ensure that the build process is up to date and adapted to the HW.

Oops. Nowadays I try to avoid writing build scripts by hand and use tools/meta-languages that autogenerate the scripts/commands and that query the system in question to optimize the resource usage.

Lovely. All things that are time-controlled in this building (locks, laundry machines, etc.) got borked by yesterday's storm.

@kdfrawg I like storms, as does my wife. It's an awesome display of the power the nature has over us humans who think we can rule everything. Every summer we wait for the thunder storms to hit the area we live in, but unfortunately often they either go around us or just dry up.

Pity. The stronger storm front either dried up or changed its path. All we got was some mild rain (far from that 17mm they forecasted earlier tonight) without thunder.

First storm hit us just a moment ago. Constant flashing, very loud rumble, heavy rain. And this is not the hardest storm we are supposed to get tonight.

I have never seen a forecast that says there will be 17mm of rainfall within one hour…

Calm before the storm… Forecast for the next few hours.
