... (we'll call her "Sue") and they get to discussing "That Employee" (we'll call her "Karen"): you know the one - takes 30 minute loo breaks, disappears for an hour and no-one knows where she is, always last in line to do anything. The one no-one wants to work with, or to work on stuff she has done in the past. That Employee.
Anyway, Sue's daughter still works there, so the gossip gets back to Sue, and she passes it on the Herself. The company has had enough of Karen, and is building up a paper trail with the aim of firing her when they have enough evidence to forestall any legal objections.
Karen appears to have noticed that the game is up, and has found a new job, doing the same thing - so she applies online, and gives her reasons for wanting to change job as basically "the management here are sh*t".
Unfortunately, she didn't notice that the company she is applying for is not only in the same group of care homes, but ... is the care home she is currently "working" for ... and her application lands right on the home managers desk. 
Oh, I'd have loved to hear that conversation!

I moved away from my gmail account 3 years ago
went to proton mail FREE they have paid services
NOT one spam email or glitches in service
Out of an abundance of caution I have created 4 email address and accounts
none of them are linked to one another
I even created one for purchasing items from Banggood in China
no spam easy to sign up

At around 2AM this morning things started to go a little pear-shaped with our servers. Our tech guys were looking into it trying to work out what was happening, but it became a all-hands exercise in trying to work out what broke what.
We had updated CodeProject's code. So we redeployed, cleaned and deployed, rolled back and cleaned and deployed. It wasn't our code.
Our requests per second were a little crazy. As in 1000x what we normally would get, but nothing that set off the DoS alarms. Things were adjusted to ease the load but the load remained uneased. Finally, with zero load we still had the site pinned. It turns out the firewall needs replacing. Firewall fixed, load reduced, site back up. Mostly.
There were also a series of Windows patches that were installed as part of routine maintenance. These were to do with HTTP security, so they naturally got some attention. Uninstalling Windows patches can be painful, but once one of the patches was removed everything popped back up. However, that was only on 1 of the servers, so that patch, since it's a security update, will be reinstalled, and if it causes issues the entire server will be binned and a new one rolled in.
So: fun and games at CodeProject central and I apologise for being down for so long. This was a bit of a trifecta, but we're now into mopping up and analysis stage so ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) all round.
cheers

Anyway, great you are back and I (we) don't need to look for another dealer

Must... not... tell... war... story...
It involved a customer replacing the 1Gb hub we have in our equipment with a 100Mb hub they had laying around. They had the audacity to (1) not tell us what they had done, (2) lie when we asked them point blank what they had changed, and (3) tried to hide the evidence when a [very sleepy after a 10 hour drive] field service dude showed up.
Irrelevant side note: the outage must be Jeremy's fault, since he raised the subject of uptime a few threads down.

Been there done that 
A customer called and told me things didn't work.
I asked them if anything at all had happened that could've caused this?
Nope, nothing had happend.
Really, nothing you can think of?
Nothing.
This customer never called so I wasn't too familiar with their software and setup.
After a few hours of looking into it I found nothing.
When I called them back the IT manager "suddenly remembered" they'd restarted the server "but that can't be it, right?".
We fixed the problem five minutes later
