It's a bit late for #MedallionMonday but here is a beautiful pair of medallion #PMC from #Australia Post. The top one is the regular issue Battle of Normandy #medallion cover (with 2024 made). The bottom one is the limited edition #Impressions version, with foil printing, larger stamp block, gold coloured medallion and limited to only 250. I think this pair look great together. What do you think?

Today I did a really terrible impression.

I was on a voice call with some colleagues from Spain that sought our help to replicate a web application the we have running at our site. No one that wrote the application is no longer available, but we have the source code. So after they tried for weeks without results they asked for our help.

The first thing we noticed is that there are some API calls that are addressed at our server. They swore that they checked all the configuration files for the server name, but I found that this was hard-coded on the "index.html" page as the base address for all the API calls.

Nice catch! Then I started guiding them to the file in order to change that string on that one file, since they had no familiarity with linux. At one one of the guys in Spain started complaining:

  • But we are not developers, the company xxx should do that, not us. We can't check all the files, and the instructions didn't say this... blah... blah...

I removed my headphones and addressed my boss next to me:

  • But can I really have to listen to this? Can I really, reall-y, explain to these morons... [at that moment i stupidly began to fade words imitating a person unable to articulate words] ... mmmm.... ooooohg...lleaaaaa....

Long story short the mic was still opened and all my words went back to the meeting!

Fortunately one of my colleagues casted silence on me, but something was heard. I hope the couldn't understand my distorted words in italian... but that's how it is...
