#y2k problem

[el-ffej]

Completely agree. I hope we can get our collective shit together again for the Year 2038 problem; I have my doubts.

In 97 I was the baby face in the Y2K Management Planning Team at the local authority where I worked. I was the pleb on the team who actually "did stuff" and could therefore give input about what required IT and what didn't and what we could if it all fell over on midnight 31st, December, 1999.

In reality nothing happened because the worlds' IT specialists en masse worked their arses off to protect us.

And it worked. They solved a problem that could even then have brought so much to a grinding halt.

And got zero fucking thanks for it really.

Accused of making a mountain of a molehill when in reality they moved the entire mountain, teaspoon by teaspoon.

I just hope yesterday reminds the fuckwits in charge to do as their predecessors did and put fail safes, mechanical overrides and contingency plans in place for the day the IT doesn't fucking work so that next time they don't get smacked in the dick because they are overly reliant on Microsoft systems for everything from opening their fridge to running hospitals.
