Shawn said the user questionnaire, the one everyone must complete in order to have their accounts rebuilt, would be online sometime today. He was delaying the posting because he wanted to make sure the media converter, which he said had to replace twice, was stable - even though, according to Shawn himself, it had been up and running "100% stable" for 23 hours.
It's been 19 hours since he said that and the questionnaire is still not available. What could possibly be causing the delay? Here are some possibilities:
A. another media converter failed, an unprecedented 3rd one in two days. An occurrence with odds longer than the Powerball lottery, must not be his lucky day!
B. another piece of equipment failed. He really wants to tell you which one, but he can't, those pesky non-disclosure agreements you see.
C. the "assistant" helping him at the datacenter missed his curfew last night and now he's grounded for a week. Really grounded, no phone or computer or nothin', so now Shawn has to do it all by himself.
D. An anthrax scare involving the govt. servers in his new datacenter has forced everyone's evacuation. Who knew you could send anthrax through email?
E. a malfunction with the newfangled biometric hand scanner prevented his entry into the building. You know how finicky that new technology is, just look at the problems he had with the media converter, and the router, and the cables, and the ...
F. He misplaced his lucky "Golden Fleece". I hate when that happens!
G. they're still not done testing the questionnaire yet. It's complicated you know, what with lotsa big words like "transaction ID" and stuff.
H. he's upset with the naysayers in the IRC channel. His "legal team", who are monitoring 24/7, want to know - "where's the love?"
Ha, that's all I can think of now. Just a little chucklefest to lighten the mood while some wait for the Great Oz ... uh, I mean Shawn, to make an announcement on his IRC channel. Ha, just typing that made me laugh. IRC, what a joke!
IRC - the communications medium preferred by CEO's everywhere!
