The error message is on part of the screen that has scrolled out of vision, even on a 27inch monitor.

And forms that won't accept auto filled data, unless you click in each field and type (then delete) a character.

PDF forms, in this case a Deutsche Bahn one. To enter dates I had to fill in the least significant digit, then put the cursor before that and enter the leading digit twice and it magically hopped into the preceding box - which I couldn’t select.

The LNSes appear to be experiencing a chaotic era...  I've come back up on v.gormless, which can't be a good sign.

Mine first fell over at 00:07.

Also, those status e-mails from A&A are not fucking junk, Thunderbollocks.  If they were I wouldn’t have set up a rule to move them to the A&A folder, no, I'd have set one up to mark them as read and delete them automatically.  You useless workshy anbaric twat.

On a related note, I've discovered that the script that was supposed to react to those status e-mails and send me an IRC message did not in fact survive the forklift-upgrade[1] of my mailserver back in November.  Unlike the pile of voodoo that processes BHPC race sign-ons, which miraculously still works.

It's just fallen over again.  And seems to have landed flat on its face this time...  I'm going to get ready for bed and come back and click post.

ETA: Back after about 25 mins.  Now chillin' on y.witless


[1] Does it count as a forklift upgrade when the new hardware is a VM?

Security certificate issue meaning I cannot get my emails. And TSO seem to have disabled the 'chat' button on their support page, so I assume I am not alone.
And then Mailchimp was playing up, presenting me with a blank screen instead of a list of templates, but at least that has sorted itself now.
I get enough of this sort of hassle during the day, I do not need it in the evenings as well.
