Anybody seen Flint and/or Hoff in the last few days?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Isn't it funny that whenever one gets into a hot topic, the other shows up? Isn't it funny that when one isn't here, the other isn't either? Isn't it funny that Flint is pushing Hoff's "theory" so hard?

Wouldn't it be nice to have two ISPs, so you could avoid the Sysop IP trace?

Maybe it's just me.

Tick... Tock... <:00=

You guys crack me up. I have often suspected that there is just one Polly here, having a good time with all of us tinfoils.

Yeah, I saw them down at WalMart with several carts full of survival supplies.

They are closing on their log cabins in the Rockies. Far enough away to say "see nothing is happening" next year on the Net, or what's left of it, and still claim they are only taking January off for vacation.

They drew their last paycheck today!!

Where's Flint?

5. His wife read his last comment about me and washed his mouth with soap and changed the NetNanny password.

4. He's out back sneaking a smoke.

3. Decided the doomers are probably right and is now posting under the handle "Hunkering down in Hunstville"

2. Is laying low after an early y2k problem with his coffeemaker shattered his confidence.

and the number one reason:

1. New 5MB file size limit at his ISP keeps bouncing back his posts.

-- a (a@a.a), September 30, 1999.


Where's Hoff?

5. Where he always is after a ration of doom&gloom sh*t comes out - at "a client site"

4. Still in the huddle with Decker, CPR, McIssaac, and the rest of the banking shills formulating a response to the "Research firm says Y2K may cause banks to loose trillions" thread

3. Lost his mind when he came to the stark realization that SAP was actually a computer program and not a deity.

2. Was so touched by Riversoma's thread that, like the Grinch, his heart grew three sizes and he's now out buying toilet paper and pork&beans stashes for DC's street people.

and the number one reason:

1. He's rewriting his "predicted rate of failures" theory, this time without Johnny Walker Red in the equation.

-- a (a@a.a), September 30, 1999.


I spotted them at Major Surplus buying KI by the arm loads.

'a' said:

Now that's funny.

I don't know about Flint, but I heard that Hoffmeister has been recalled to Washington for further consultations with his boss, John Koskinen.

"a", thanks for the best laugh of the day. It really helps sometimes when all this "stuff" here gets a little too intense. In regards to Flint, I'm trying really hard to convince myself that he took a long look in the mirror after that post he made to you about Milne and didn't like what he saw. He's gone deep into the woods with one of his many designer bug-out bags, where he's sitting and gazing into the dying embers of his campfire while reflecting on how he has become a shadow of the man he always believed himself to be. He will return as a much chastened and humbled Flint, whereupon he will post a public apology to you. He will acknowledge that it IS possible to disagree with someone and not resort to puerile bathroom insults. He will confess that he is, in fact, Dieter, al-d, and Porky in Cellblock D.

What's the URL for this thread?

Gee y'all, I'm touched you missed me!

Now, if I can remember if I'm using "Flint"s ISP or "Hoff"s.....

-- Hoffmeister (hoff_meister@my-deja.com), October 01, 1999.


Welcome back Hoff.

I'm just funnin' with ya, unless Flint shows up in a few minutes... <:)=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), October 01, 1999.


Actually, 'a' was pretty close, on two counts.

Going live this weekend on a system, in the middle of conversions right now. I'm on hour 33 of Thursday at the moment.

And thought I'd keep track of all the "non-code" problems we encounter, as a little addendum.

-- Hoffmeister (hoff_meister@my-deja.com), October 01, 1999.


Sysman,

I've often wondered about the dual ISP thing, myself. Lots of people have multiple access due to work situations.

However, if someone wanted to have some fun at our expense, I think the appeal would be much greater to play diametrically opposed characters - say like Doomers Suck and Infomagic (No, I don't know anything that no one else does. Just tossing out names).

-- Bokonon (bok0non@my-Deja.com), October 01, 1999.


Hoff: Careful. Exposing how numerous "non-code" problems are makes an important doomer point about Murphy's Law...
