Sorry H, you're miles out. If you'd made loads of posts saying one thing and now claim the complete opposite, you know I'd call you out too :wink: I'm thinking of changing my strap line to "Caller out of Bullshit' in honour of our old friend 'Bringer of Truth' :lolol:

I would imagine Neither may well have been your last word, because it avoids you explaining whether you knew you were voting for someone completely incompetent or whether you "were fooled by his Boris dim-but-nice ha-ha jolly good persona". Your words, not mine :dunce:

No, I'm fully aware you didn't, in the post I quoted you simply pointed out that Johnson was incompetent :thumbsup: @GT49er very publicly and proudly told NSC how he had voted for Johnson. I wondered why, given that he has since in the last few hours on this thread agreed that Johnson is...

I am interested to know, when you actually voted for Johnson to lead the British Government for the next 5 years were you aware that you were voting for a total incompetent, or were you one who was fooled by his Boris dim-but-nice ha-ha jolly good persona ???

I think the thing I have learned from this is that all those people 'who aren't interested in politics' or believe 'they're all the same' may have a slightly different view as to what is being done in their name if they had a 3 month subscription to Private Eye and actually read it. But the...

From that report it would appear there was an Architecture failing with the lack of a 2 phased commit across multiple data sources to handle any issues with connectivity and consequential data corruption. This was quite a common 'backstop' to multiple data source systems at the time. I remember...

And you had no problems with it ? (I'm sure there were many who didn't but it does appear to be luck). And didn't your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth :wink:

Was this pre-Horizon ?

Bloody carpet baggers probably deserved it. I'm not suggesting that IT has any less cowboys than any other industry and certainly not within Banking :wink:

I have no idea what the architecture of the system was, but I can't see that it is relevant. Whether the unaudited access to the individual post offices data was remote/local/real time/batch makes no difference, the very fact that it was authorised is the problem. If this is being done, it also...

The issues aren't about the architecture of the system or how it was designed or coded, all new systems have bugs and faults, that is entirely normal. The issue is entirely about the management decisions made around the way the system was implemented with regard to timing and risk, supported...

See the answers above. AFAIK there aren't any issues with the architecture of the system. The issues are around the management and decisions made regarding remote unaudited access to the underlying data, the management of the level, prioritisation and fixing of faults, the recognition of these...

If you really think the 'Head Technical Architect' at Fujitsu is behind this, I have some beans I really think would interest you :facepalm:

I spent many years as a Professional in that industry. A large part of my job was to decide at which point software could be released and the risk that was associated with that release. If you know what you're doing, you can measure the metrics for the amount of change in that software (function...

As low hanging fruit goes, find the person who signed off the requirement for remote unaudited access to the sub postmaster's data. Quicker than searching bug lists and and I'll bet it wasn't a techie :wink: And the bugs aren't the problem, there's always bugs. It was the prioritisation...

It will be mere coincidence that the Education Secretary Gillian Keegan's husband, Michael Keegan was Head of Fujitsu UK and Ireland during the awarding of lots of those big contracts and the latter part of the Post Office Scandal. But he's obviously moved on and is currently employed as a...

It really won't be the programmers, testers or developers (contract or otherwise) responsible for this. To make a cock up/cover up on this scale you have to be pretty senior ???
