Hi All,
Time to complain about BT yet again. Parents moved before Christmas to a place that had a BT line... So I got elected to set up the wireless network. The phone line was not connected and so that led to a Xmas of having to use Tesco's WiFi on my Phone and trips to Bristol to download (and clear the server of Emails). An 'Engineer' is sent round who is from a sub-contractor who does the various tests (which I had done in December) to confirm there is a fault on the line. At this point I asked 'How long', '11th January, they can start work'...

There are government targets on Broadband speed and availability, I guess not response times to fix issues.
You may remember my VM service stopped working on the 8th December and its still not working, a whole month with no internet.
Christmas internet access in our house was saved by a 100GB EE SIM, a USB mobile dongle, Raspberry Pi and some configuration of DHCP servers, routing tables etc etc to create a mobile broadband modem/router, thanks EE/rpi!
I've cancelled VM, they are still forcing us to honour the 30 day termination in the contract despite the BB not even working, goodbye and good riddance VM!

When you code up a new page, which is really cool and absolutely the best you've ever done...
Come back to it a few weeks later only to find it's still littered with (JavaScript) bugs 
"Cannot write to a computed value"
"Property X not defined"
console.log("some debug info")
How could I have missed that!? 
Well, it was close to Christmas, guess I really needed that break.
Luckily it's not deployed to production yet...

That is exactly the Point! Where else you test your Software?

You make a good point 
Well, I'm sure these errors would've been caught during the (other than me) testing phase, but still...

All testing should be done in Prod. It is the correct way to do things. Only epic fails in Production, will bring you spiritual enlightenment.

All I'm going to say is:

You were warned.

I hope you enjoyed the holiday yesterday. Since nobody complained about the missing FOSW, I hope you did.

First hint : Already given above.
Second hint : Three were wearing it.
Third hint : Royal and wise.
Fourth hint : Here[^]
Summary hint : They were three, were royal and wise, were wearing the thing badly sketched above, and I indirectly gave a hint about them in the first sentence of my post. They are the .... ?

WING?
As in "wing collar"?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

2 whites.
It is not a collar, but the limited number of letters did not allow for a better representation. A child would have pictured it that way, I think.

Can't be MASK if WING has 2W - it must contain two letters of WING but not in those places.
