It's called a "report a bug" menu item that automatically compiles as much data as you can think of that might help, including making the user include a description of the bug. Also, there's nothing wrong with just going over to the coworkers desk and working it out. Or schedule a day with the users when you'll be in their "area" to address issues and watch for bugs.

The reality is that most bugs *aren't* intermittent, and if you can fix all the bugs that aren't, then the intermittent ones tend to go away. The remaining stuff is tough to deal with, but certainly manageable.

I tried Bastion this morning on my arguable beefy 8-core 8 GB machine. SLOW AS SNOT. So either it's slow or I need to change some configuration setting. Maybe I'm missing something, but wasn't doing this crap in the browser supposed to make it "just work" (tm)?

Or you could just use mosquito nets. Very cool, but it's a solution in search of a problem.

For some reason IT folks think that all us iPhone toting folks are demanding that they support my iPhone. I don't expect you to support it, and most others don't either. At a basic level, I expect my IT department to not *actively* disallow use of such technology, which is what I see all the time, departments who see no middle ground between "100% supported" and "not on my network ever". It'd be nice if you could spend a few minutes helping me to figure out how to make my email work on the thing, fixing any server related issues in the process. I don't expect you do this for every crazy piece of hardware out there, but it would nice if you could be *helpful* as I try to figure it out myself.

Not all of it is negative:

"But please DON'T make a hotel reservation until we have fully explored
other options. If there is anyone who wants to offer a spare couch, I
would much rather stay there than in a hotel (provided I have a door I
can close, in order to have some privacy). Staying with someone is
more fun for me than a hotel, and it would also save you money.

"My distaste for a hotel is less if it does not know my name, but
staying in a house with people is normally more enjoyable than staying
alone."

Yeah, just try it wtih GCC. Not easy. CLANG on the other hand is looking AWESOME for this sort of thing. Once a libraryized version of CLANG is good, it'll make this sort of thing easy.

Would it be possible for this to work as way to increase the body's effective metabolism? Thereby allowing some folks with slow metabolisms to boost theirs?

That was creative.

Fascinating enough for you to comment.

I have small children (up to 9) who don't seem very good at path finding. They're constantly going around the house in the most inefficient manner possible. Humans aren't that good at it either.

You do realize that they didn't make a trip specifically just to deliver *your* package right? It gets delivered with all the other mail. The extra cost is negligible. Certainly not enough to setup your notification system.

If you use some software, then the process is MUCH easier. http://www.reviewboard.org/

How does Evolution handle full Exchange connectivity (including Calendaring, Contacts, Tasks, etc)? That is my main reason for sticking with Thunderbird.

Evolution integration with Exchange is bit f'ing crapshoot. I was constantly having problems with it. Bugs never got fixed. I went with Thunderbird and the calender plugin, and I'm happy now.

While this sort of "cooperation" can be occasionally useful, I find it generally annoying here in Utah where many folks do the same things. They're think they're being nice by letting folks in, stopping in the middle of traffic, not taking their proper turn at four way stops, and other such nonsense. Well, you're not being nice, you're confusing everyone around you because they don't know what you're going to do next. And it causes accidents. The traffic laws were designed to work without me needing to be able to look at you signalling to me from inside your car. Just follow the laws. If I have to wait, then I wait, but let's not cause an accident.
