Random piece of news trivia this.
Blizzard released an expansion pack for World of Warcraft late last week - which would explain why my development and infrastructure teams areshy about 75%of their staff Friday last week through to tomorrow. I didnt correlate it until I saw the release annoucement this morning.
This means that it is quite possible that, at this very moment, somewhere in an imaginary forrest, someone who is responsible for getting my projects virtual servers online is* doing battle as a blue skined, white eyed, melony breasted elvish mage with unimaginable evil.
Or something.
okay then - extending my projects timeline a couple of days for "battle damage".
*I am making this up, I dont actually thing that any of my team are blue skined, white eyed, melony breasted elvish mages**
** Dwarves maybe***
***seriously thought, I am making this all up. They are a very hardworking bunch of people and would never frivilously take time off for something like this.
