Quilt festival : the story of 'star stories'

Submitted by domesticat on 9 October 2009 - 9:52pm

I'm hoping nobody minds that I do this, because this is old news to anyone who has been reading my sporadic entries this year, but I wanted to make a single, combined post about my quilt 'star stories' for an online quilt festival.  It seems there is an online quilting community, of which I am not really part of.  Perhaps it is time.

The rules for the quilt festival ask that we write a post about our quilt that we're entering, and provide photos.  The problem is that I've done this already, in two separate posts.  Forgive me if I combine the two of them together to tell the story of 'star stories' in a single post.  It, and plenty of photos, are after the jump.

Banner trouble ticket day

Submitted by domesticat on 23 October 2009 - 8:23am

Moments like these are why my co-workers settle in to read my trouble tickets with amusement:

There are notes in the code that specifically indicate the maintainer hasn't written all of the security-related code yet.  (Um.  WHAT?)  The integration issues wouldn't grind our server to a halt if the module actually was respecting access permissions, because then the errors would only be happening for about 3 users.  This simply isn't acceptable, so I've disabled the integration until I can get a better handle on what's going on with this module.  Or stalk the maintainer.  Whichever.

...and that's just one ticket.  It's not even 9:30 yet.  I'm thinking it's going to be a banner trouble ticket day.
