Jeez! I don't know where I've sent my code to previously, but FINALLY I've submitted the work to the remote repo and it is browsable.
Next stop is an update.

It finally happened. I thought i was just a part of IT jokes but someone finally complained to me "The system doesn't work on the server is shut down". I think my internal system crashed because my mind went into a loop trying to find a way to handle this user complain without recurring to violence.
Has anyone got a real situation like this?

Snopes is wrong. This did happen, to me, though only after the joke.
The joke had literally just done the rounds at the Social Services department I worked in at 2000. I'd spent 15 mins trying to diagnose the problem (it was at a relatively remote site[^] and we tried to help over the phone as much as possible) , so in desperation I asked the lass on the phone to plug in a desk-lamp: "I don't have one". "How about a fan" - she had one, but she said "I don't think it'll work", when I asked why: "we're in a power cut".
At this point I assumed it was the only lass in our office playing a practical joke, as she often did, so I was going to deliver the punchline (which in the version I head described the user as too elephanting stupid to own a computer). At that point the presumed joker walked through the office, if she had been a second later I'd have lost my job. I asked the girl on the phone how she thought the PC would work in a power cut - at this point I think it dawned on her how stupid she been as she gave a rather weak "I thought I'd just make you aware" as a response and hung up.
Thanks to the joke, no-one believes me (except the people who were in the room as the conversation happened), but there it is.
[Edit]
Having read the Snopes link fully, it says it is the last line of the joke that didn't happen. So I suppose it remains false, though it nearly happened.

Yes once, the power was off for couple hours. Like a good girl I sat in the corner(my desk is there) and read a book about visual c++ probably older than me .

Some years back, either here or somewhere else I read a story about a company that wanted to add people to their database before they visited so they'd already have the data and not have to spend time getting the data when a new customer contacted them...  Sooo.... you want to add everyone in the world on the off chance that they might some day want to do business with you? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

There might be a few missing words in what you quoted, but it could be a valid complaint. How gracefully does your app handle the case where a server is no longer accessible? You can display a nice error message, or you can crash and burn and lose the user's work in progress.

Hi,
I wish it was not handled  , but it does say that it can't connect to the server. Actually it has been worked on to display the message in Portuguese. The problem here was that they were concerned about the energy bill.
