Slashdot Mirror

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned. Prepare to waste a few hours... http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/

I think the proper spellings are dyeing and diening, respectively.

I always enjoyed The Chronicles of George. Hope you are havening a nice day!

... I know that you're out there, watching over us like some kind of lyrical nerdcore angels.

Time to autotune Snoop Dogg talking about this project...

"Bringin' the attention level up"
'Sho nuff!

"A lot of people don't even realize this is happening"
What about George? He chronicles tech problems he's havening.

"We come together and join forces to fight this"
Are you going to go to Russia and dump crackers in an abyss?

"When my team come after you we're gonna git you"
Get all up ins your binary code, and zero you out, foo !

"To see what it takes to be Snoop Dogg"
I'll know if I can see it through this Chronically hazy fog!

"To put them in the circle with my people"
Are we playing duck duck goose, or ring around the steeple?

"Hopefully it'll rub off on them"
Just as long as no charges stick of possessing illegal chem!

"The secret to longevity is fun"
What about those SPAMers who just want to supersize your Love Gun?

"I love being a leader"
Well, I'll bet that part is true...

"I love owning"
Fo' processor sizzle, Snoop, yeah, me too!

so at this moment elo is back on top.

Could it be that people have been done some quickly jumpening to conclusions?

I guess george is working at /. now.

You could be working with George.

THAT is hilarious... I like almost all of them, but the one at:
this page
"####### called and said he has broken his dongle, He would like a replacement"

Made me laugh so hard!

Thanks for the laugh croddy.

This sounds a lot like the Chronicles of George: http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/navmain.htm

Clearly George finally found his way to Slashdot!

"has disproving" is it that hard to write a summary without such huge errors??

One word: havening.

Oh, but Georges are everywhere. Your IT department probably has one. Read some of those tickets. You'll want to be more prepared to help yourself after a few of those.

I'm guessing it refers to The Chronicles of George.

Unless that's you, it's nothing personal.

http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/

don't you never ever get IT support job it will kill you mentally, physically and in any other way also. indians have filled tickets.

"Every phone call or trip to an employee's cubicle is an 'event' or 'activity' that needs to be documented, even if just with a sentence fragment (Asked Jane to reboot her workstation and call back if further errors.)"

Be careful with this - Next thing you know Jane's computer is havening problems. Ahhhh good old George.

George, is that you?

I guess that loosing a job is better than havening a job...

right?

This tech is a masterful idiot. http://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/tickets1.htm

I used to work in a call centre. I remember trying to get two particular native English speakers to use captal letters in names and addresses. For some reason, they just didn't see why you had to use capital letters, correct spelling or the correct format for post codes (that's zip code to you buddy).

If the addresses were bad enough, you should have seen their documented records of the calls. They may as well have been writing in mobile phone text language. In case anyone asks. No, they weren't dyslexic. They just did not care. of course this made us look like arses when we sent letters out to

jhon smith

Arrrghhh, rant over.

By the way. For those who've not had the pleasure of a call centre job, this site will give you an idea.
The Chronicles of George

The Chronicles of George

"George is, quite simply, the worst helpdesk technician ever.

His grasp on the written word is shakier than a canoe full of epileptics. His knowledge of computers is thinner than a Vegas dancer's chiffon underpants. He is, by all standards of intelligence, a rock.

While we worked together, George was responsible for turning out some of the most mangled, garbled, and just plain screwed up help desk tickets ever before seen by mortal man. I have taken these tickets and collected them, and I present them to you as a cathartic expression, a venting of fourteen months' pain and frustration (George's employ and my own overlapped by that amount of time).

Mean? Perhaps. Spiteful? Probably. Funny? Oh, most definitely."


Includes such choice qoutes as:
"she is havening problems connecting to the z drive ,she told never i will figure it out on my own"
"is receiving an error that states line x excuration locked at another user will not be created at this time"
"would like to have a reinstall a ghost image development evirroment"

so these people are havening problems with grammar?

George?

Now if they fix cut and paste and find a way to make havening both a *nix and a windows version as close as possible to a simple recompile...

A prime example of internal ticket system humour can be found at Chronicles of George.

Good for a laugh, but explains a lot about tech support.

Chronicles of george the most hopeless tech support guy ever, funny stuff.

...but that George shit is fucking hilarious. Me and my son hit the floor on a more than a couple tickets. I had to stop after page 7.

(tig)

haveing

Are you sure you don't mean "havening" ??

And, for the counterpoint to these, don't miss the Chronicles of George - the real-life helpdesk tickets written by that idiotic tech you always seem to get after spending 45 minutes in the hold queue who is utterly helpless and ends up "escalating" your call back into the hold queue again - if he doesn't accidentally terminate the call instead!
Source of the word "havening" by the way.

Fortunately, most growth in the US is in small businesses, which are more willing to switch. I have already installed Star Office 6 on two machines and OO on a few machines. The machines running MS office are running the 97 version and will not be updated. We have less than 25 people in the company using computers.

What got MY boss on the Open Source highway was all the news stories I sent him about MS licensing, the new "We get to roam around your hard drive" provisions, plus the BSA fines of $100,000 for accidental infringement. He still insists on using one Windows application, but I am scheduled to get it running on Wine soon, to start replacing the windows boxes. (Dammit, why can't RH support Wine in a stock install!)

I used the old "All your base are belong to us" tactic, which of course, is now true with MS licensing. This should not be confused with the The Chewbacca Defense. He is not a PHB but he knows what being sued is, knows what fines are, and knows what the blue screen of death is.

In case nobody's mentioned it yet, let's not forget The Chronicles of George, where "George is, quite simply, the worst helpdesk technician ever."

View this site. I am sure most will get a good laugh.

enjoy!

I'm still wondering how you made this spelling mistake.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. he's havening some serious problems.

Problem Description: User claims that havening a self-pinging machine amounts to incestuous narcissism

Status: CLOSED. Works for me.

Basically, I got myself involved in a little flamewar on another message board.

Someone actually posted that (i dont care about grammer i am not takeing a english test) with exactly that spelling (but with more george like spacing) as an excuse as to why they don't need to know any english.

Seems to me they didn't look up the definition of irony before they wrote that. :-)

(I'd rather not say where exactly I saw it or who said it because that would be a tad unfair -- sometimes people just say something silly by accident)

Mayabe the examinator havening been named George problem ??

Or maybe too bee probeleme off brain workening not correct?

:-)

[That might have been a little incorrect, I don't send mail that way too often since you have to type everything perfectly the first time! No backspaces!]

At least, George thinks so!

Guess /. doesn't like the TARGET="_blank" =)

Nearly all of the control panel options disappeared, replaced with the ever-crappy, crashing pile of MMC.

Complete retraining for all the sysadmins who have to use these tools daily and aren't sharp enough to pick it up on their own.

The problem is that you don't remember how painful the Win2K upgrade was because it happened two years ago.

When your company does the upgrade, go hang out with the user support folks for a couple days. Feel their pain.

as for types of keyboards, i think this one would take the cake..... check this out...
