You will receive an answer, but it will probably take some time. The
company has suffered two deaths within a very short time span, the
tech queue is still somewhat backlogged from the holidays (though
we're catching up) which is amplified by the fact that Heather is
working much shorter hours recently because she needs to attend to her
family.
I am well aware of the situation there, and far from wanting to be a
thorn in the flesh I can wait; and, ultimately,
I won't lose any sleep if I never receive a reply. However I will lose
quite a lot of sleep if I feel that my message
is the straw that breaks the camel's back of an overloaded, grieving
workforce.
I am volunteering extra hours to help but I don't know the answers to
much of what's in there, so those tickets are still sitting in the
queue until I can find out. Tickets are being triaged by urgency, and
a question like yours will not take priority right now.
Ha, Ha, Ha . . . right down at the bottom; and I am well aware of that;
but, hey, I've always been a bit of a
chancer . . . :)
Mailing list memories are very short, but over at the office they are
still recovering. The double blow was extremely difficult.
Bill seemed a super chap when I met him in the summer, and I can only
offer (again) my electronic
tears. As for Kevin's niece, in many ways that is even sadder, when one
is taken when so young the
world seems dreadfully unfair - and it must feel like a kick in the
pants. I became aware in the summer
just how family-style the Runtime Revolution company is, and, frankly,
that was far more interesting
and enlightening than anything I learnt at the conference itself. For
what its worth all the good folk
at the Edinburgh office are in my thoughts/prayers.
All the staff are jumping in to help, and many are doing things
outside their job descriptions, but some things just have to wait. So
be patient.
I have always thought that job descriptions were utter rubbish; in all
the places I have ever worked I have
been required to work outwith some sort of silly job description -
except my current job, where as sole
owner and operator of my language school my job description is
"everything, everything and everything"
- just blown the main fuse trying to sort out some outside lights . . . :)
"Be patient" . . . I live in Bulgaria, and have lived in Islamic
countries where the people have patience
down to a fine art; and if incomers don't acquire it pretty quickly
things go badly sour even more
quickly.
part of my last posting was about personal needs/wishes re Linux PPC and
as my time frame for that
is about 8 months I can be fairly patient . . . :)
Mind you . . . if you could point me to a Linux PPC engine for Metacard
I could start fooling around now.
