Best ticket response ever

[JPC-Greg]

Client : HEEELLPPPP , MY WEBISTE HAS EXPLODED AND ITS BURNING AS WE SPEAK. PLEASE HAVE A TECH USE EXTINGUISHER V2.1 ON IT ASAP!!


Tech :

As much as we like to blame our computers for everything that goes wrong in life, the reality is that they do what you tell them to (usually - sometimes they're just possessed, filled with gremlins, and possibly evil minions of some deity of your choice). Are you sure you didnt instruct it to burn down?

If you didnt we need to use Anti-Gremlin v3.0 not Extinguisher v2.1 .

[JPC-Greg]

Update: Disregard, I see the site has totally burnt down at this point so we will consider this issue resolved and close the ticket.

LOL. That't totally hillarious. That client apparantly didn't know enough about hosting a site to be hosted on a host as good as JaguarPC. He needed to be be on Tripod, no wait, Geocities.

No doubt. I thought everyone knew to request EXTINGUISHER V4.0 by now since it is also common knowledge that Anti-Gremlin v3.0 is a little buggy. What was he/she thinking?!

[Vin DSL]

Extinguisher v2.1 is still in Beta. Don't attempt to use it on a website fire unless you feel it is safe for you to do so...

Clearly, the GarageCorner WebHost was not the right place for this customer.

AtticSpace, the highest host would be better than BargainBasementCorner, the lowest host.

I think that in the old days iPowWowWeb had a decent Apache installation, but it was also wiped out by a virus.

Even though against tremendous odds, When the solaris was high in the sky and with the approach of the virus all across the netscape, Apache didn't go down without a fight at Wounded *Nix

Oh well.

Does that mean a compromised Uknee doesn't need white man magic to fend off infection? No wonder Wild Bill worries. Big Chief must see etching on the rock.

I'm almost afraid to ask if this was a REAL ticket. Knowing how some lusers are, it would not surprose me

I think Jag has been dipping into the elderberries again...

[Vin DSL]

Um... that's 'sambucus canadensis' to you, Ron...

[Ron]

Wrong guy, right dictionary. You meant Spath. I had to look him up. I'm not up on my taxonomy or phylogenetic systematics.

Are you sure it's not Psilocybe cubensis that Jag was sampling? Seems more likely given their respective climes. Alternate theory: My guess is that Jag gets nuts in large doses but gets a sample of an occasional exception - so the silliness carries on and is presented to us thusly. But what do I know? Plantae is my domain.

Just for those wondering, it was not a real issue. I was just having a little fun the other day right around the Bored O'clock hour.
