hehehe ... maybe the developers should be more specific about which next week they are referring to when they say next week ... :P

That is the representativeness character of time;-)

LHC guide to time:

Today = tomorrow

tomorrow = next week

next week = in 2-3 weeks

this month = next month if you're lucky

end of this year = first half of next year

No offence at LHC staff meant! :-)

This seems to be a common trait in the IT business. Usually a predicted amount of required work gets exceeded by a factor between e (~2.72) and pi (~3.14)...

Its those "unknown unknowns" ...

since yesterday evening (29.05.05 20:00 UTC) something has changed in the database. Since then the request of the client has increased dramatically; that mean, request every 1 min. to max. 14 min.

Also, and that is the most positiv thing, my CPID at LHC has finally (after 2 month of searching) synchronized with the other projects! And I don't know why ... ;-(

There are still the old pendings from mid april to erase!
