Today is a frustrated by hardware day, at work this is, at home I only have hardware which behaves and any which dare annoy me gets binned, or worse thrown to the dogs.
But in the office it seems people set out to actively annoy one another...
We have a series of buttons, they sit in order zero through eight... one set of people, including me, want to address them zero through eight in the software... and they have... but then some bright *cough* spark on the hardware side has mapped them to the numbers.... 6, 11, 13, 15, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15,... Making working with them an absolute ball ache, everyone gets confused....
"I'm senting 14" says one chap... nothing lights up... "Which button did you want?"... "Second from the right"... "You mean the seventh?"... "Yes"... "So send 7".... "Oh does that work?"...
Fuck sake... yes 7 works... Keep it simple stupid... KISS... Whoever invented the previous order needs a kicking.
