So, among the many nifty presents I brought back from my holidays with the family was a case of the black plague. Or possibly a cold. Either way, I don't want to be deploying new code on the production servers while my thinking's impaired*, so we're pushing the site update we'd planned for this weekend back another week**. That's all. Enjoy the last bits of 2017.
*Shut up.
**or two. [martyb here. I've not had the time to finish testing the changes and am recovering from overload-mode at work and the start of a cold, as well.]

I don't always test my code, but when I do it's in production.

Everybody has a testing environment; some are lucky enough to have a separate production environment.

I really did laugh out loud when I saw that, and you're right. TMB gave them the hand :)
TMB, Hope you get better man.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

If it is the plague or a cold the ancient remedy is the same: straight tequila and some lime wedges!
And above all, the cure is quite enjoyable.
P.S. Don't believe those recommending mezcal instead of tequila, they know not what the speak about.

OTOH, each bottle of Mezcal has proven that it can kill a worm. [google.com]
Little bitty microbes should be a walk in the park for that stuff.

You fool! One can still see the worm in mezcal, whereas it has been disolved into nothingness by tequila.
Unless of course, you have been to Oaxaca and tried one of the homemade mezcals, which are reputed to rise the dead from their graves, but then, such elixirs are not commercialy available.

I hope you feel better soon. I offer the suggestion that you eat, drink and do comforting things. Probably not including reading Soylent, lol.

Might want to look into vitamin D, Elderberry, and Zinc for warding off colds and flus. Other ideas: https://www.drfuhrman.com/learn/library/articles/99/during-cold-flu-season-protect-yourself-by-eating-right [drfuhrman.com]

Hope you feel better soon, TMB. Thanks for all the hard work. :-)
Just a quick question/request: Does SN have a mobile site, and if not, are there any plans to create one?
Thanks in advance!
