We wish to notify you again that you were listed as beneficiary to the total sum of US$18 Million only in the intent of the deceased. On my first email I mentioned about my late client whose relatives I cannot get in touch with. But both of you have the same last name so it will be very easy to front you as his official next of kin. I am compelled to do this because I would not want the finance house to push my clients funds into their treasury as unclaimed inheritance.
We contacted you because you bear the Last name with our Late Client and therefore can present you as the Beneficiary to the inheritance since there is no written w i l l .My legal services aim to provide our private clients with a complete service. We are happy to set-up all modalities and administer Trusts,carry out the administration of estates. All the papers will be processed in your acceptance of this Transaction.

Accurate.

Come on, is it that hard to put 24*60*60 in your code instead of 86400?

I’m at this point at work where we’ve deployed our data-gathering nodes into their various locations, running software we’ve written. Sometimes, these systems fail for unknown reasons. We have no idea what is entirely causing the failures, but the system will crash and not start up until manually rebooted. I wrote this software with primarily two other guys, and both of them have zero idea what is going on and neither do I.
and of course there’s our boss (a professor) who is breathing down our necks every time something goes wrong, ready to send us on the guilt trip saying “we waited a year to get this data! and now you’re saying you can’t produce results” or whatever, and it’s starting to seep into my mental health.
it’s a really tough problem to diagnose, and I understand that our professor has to come back with something to show whoever we got our grant from to get money next year, but christ, this is getting tough to keep a straight, non-screaming face about. I’ve put in extra hours to make sure this thing gets off the ground as painlessly as possible but it feels like every decision we make and everything we do turns into a reason why the project is failing. I can’t do anything at work right, ya know?
Can the devices run multiple processes? Or will they still execute timed interrupts after the crash? Perhaps you can add a watchdog routine to detect this state and reboot it. In the worst case you could attach them to network-connected power supplies.

Welcome to programming.
FM Fridays is one-and-a-half years old! This may not be the biggest blog ever, but its listeners sure are devoted! I couldn’t ask for much more than that.
Given how difficult it is to hold anyone’s attention for three minutes, let alone three hours, I can understand why more people do not archive binge. I have added a long overdue random post link (a feature apparently built into tumblr) to the header to facilitate the delivery of new tunes in manageable doses. That is, unless you find clicking it addictive, like I do. There is also still the turntbl playlist for those of you who want a lot of FM without all that pesky clicking nonsense.
I also fixed the blog’s fonts … again. Not that anyone cares, but the text is supposed to display as Ubuntu. Now that I have proper italic and bold styles, though, italics sometimes load in comically slow. Apologies.
Additionaly, I’ve been thinking more about writing/recording something a little more in-depth about FM sound design. I have shied away from this in the past both to avoid embarrassing myself and because I didn’t think I had the audience for it. That may or may not be forthcoming, depending almost exclusively on how much I hate it after I record it.
I would listen to the turntable playlist frequently but I can’t get my phone to play it with the screen off. Probably not something you can help with, I know. Just offering that as an explanation.
