Subverting the paradigm

It’s one of those top-posted email chains. Probably best read from the bottom up. Oh, and HTML formatting by MS Outlook so there goes my validation… OTOH, I’m too lazy to clean it up so I get what’s coming to me I guess. Anyway, without further ado:

Yeah. Its weird cause I forced the build twice which usually would
resolve the issue.  I was terrified that I would have to face Carter with
this not in tomorrow’s build, and I had to roll back my change.  He beats
us 🙁

Thanks.

Mike

Mike,
I see that the continuous migration build was fixed.  This problem was
resolved?

Thanks,
Kevin

Can you guys take a look at the XXX migration build, its complaining because
the XX_facility table is being added before the XX_facility_type
table.   I have added both of these tables to the
XXX_development_2_7_2_0_0 and XXX_development_2_7_2_0_0_stage databases where
it should be pulling the dependency (table order) data from.

Spring Jinxes

Not that I encourage spam, or even read a minuscule portion of it, but this struck me as oddly humorous. This one comes from “muriel” with the subject line something along the lines of “did you get my previous email…”

We’re always working to get you the best on the market

http://www.geocities.com/[some gibberish here]/

and senior media executives.[3] As a measure of the club’s exclusivity, it is reported the waiting
overseas. Californian guests are generally limited to attendance at the “Spring Jinxes”, in June,

It just leaves me wondering what exactly the “Spring Jinxes” are and why this is a constraint only for Californian guests. Maybe muriel will write back with more information…
