:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

That’s shitty. Hope he improves

Yet another world beating initiative introduced by the Government appears to be inadequate and falls at the first hurdle. I despair, I really do.

My mum felt a bit crap for 24hr

Almost every website that the public sector put up always seems to fall over at first - why is that

Is it rushed to deployment and not properly planned?
Do they underestimate demand?

Now I appreciate in any web site deployment there are teething issues, god knows I 've had my share, but theirs always seem to be catastrophic

This is one area where partnering the private sector would be useful - ā€œHey booking.com - can we borrow your platform and point our URL at part of your siteā€ We will even sling you a few million

It’s because there are companies like Crapita and Crap Gemini that know this all too well and deliberately run their projects to profit from the design by committee nature of the public sector.

That’s why I won’t work for them.

Cognizant are after me as we speak. Unsure whether to speak to them or not.

Go and make them better. It’s like a calling - a civic duty even. Plus, they might sling a lot of cash at you.

Win win. :grin:

When someone is after you or keen to speak to you my advice would be to go ahead as long as you have several alibis at hand.

Rules were relaxed a bit here Monday.
Basically, Zakopane in the mountains has a population of 30k.
There are 20k tourists there today. Ski slopes rammed BUT Polics on skis are giving out tickets/fines for no masks/not distancing!
Seen cars from France, Netherlands & Germany with skis on top today alone!

You should listen to Athletico Mince. It’s where the alsatians in prams reference comes from.
