Anecdotes

Not yet written up - Please do nudge me and remind me to write up some of the crazy things I've seen in my years in the IT industry.

I should probably start writing some of them down before I forget the details in my old age. Not least the £27m project which was scarpped after 9 months and replaced by an Excel spreadsheet on a headless PC shoved under somebody's desk for 90% of the planned functionality. Or the three-day-stint in a datacentre in East Anglia without seeing daylight. Or the cutting-edge 1Tb storage solution, taking up over 15 cubic metres, which took over an hour to boot back in the year 2000
