HELP URGENT- the TW for #1 Lirpa is running amok!!!

[Mat]

This is extremely acute and needs resolving today!

As you probably know, today the EU Educational Commission kicks off their First Library - Parent initative (#1 LirPa). My team was asked to be responsible for the website (with a budget of €175.000 !). Because several members liked my mockups we decided to go with TW5 and the website was perfected just recently. Everything was running smooth until - disaster! - this morning things are just not performing!!!!!! It MUST work before 3 p.m when the big release takes place in the Council Hall. I suspect it is something with that front tiddler, but I'm no coder so PLEASE take a look at it:

1LirPa

(This is a mirrored site on TiddlySpot there for your convenience.)

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Mat

It looks like the site has been replaced by an empty wiki with two GIFs. Perhaps you can use the TiddlySpot backup facility to get back to an older version?

Hi Mat,

I am at my PC the next hours so if you have a question/problem, do not hesitate to ask. Anyhow, the site you were pointing to is just an empty wiki (like Jeremy said in hist reply). Don't panik and just clearly describe your problem so we are able to help you out.

-Felix

[Mat]

NO it is not an empty wiki, it is a display of minimalism in order to cut down expenses within the department.

Please look closer at the very tiddler meeting you. I strongly suspect the problem is there.

This is all very urgent! The 1 Lirpa project will not last for long!!!!

<:-O

Hi Mat,

Oh, sorry, I thought it is a wrong site you posted here. Really annoying, I could have used that time to debug your page.

Please look closer at the very tiddler meeting you. I strongly suspect the problem is there.

Ok, I am on it! I also canceled my meeting at university at 2pm for this because I think it is more important to support you here.
I hate situations like this. I really hope we can make it before your presentation starts.

-Felix

This is all very urgent!

<:-O

[Eric Shulman]

OMG!!!

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Mat,

I am not seing the user problem inside data / code maybe a tip? Do you mean the error Title at the top? You can set you own title using the

 $:/SiteTitle

property

As a side remark: I would remove the endless loop of the ant in the bottom. Yes, it is funny at first sight but then it gets really distracting. Especially when I am looking at your wiki since a long time.

-Felix

[Duarte Farrajota Ramos]

Hahaha good one! You got me here

OMG, indeed.

Having just talked with the EU Commissioner for education and some
members of the Website task force over the phone, they are setting up an
emergency hangout to resolve this issue as soon as possible. However,
they were unable to reach you, Mat, on your cellphone. Can you report
back to them asap to ensure that you also get to the hangout in time to
fix this ?
Also anyone familiar enough with TW to help out is welcome to join the
hangout, so we can get this running in the next 2 hours.

/Andreas

[Felix Küppers]

Anything you got to better describe the problem? - maybe a screenshot??

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Andreas,

sorry, I do not understand. Are you part of Mat's original team? Because he just wrote me a private message that they are closed to solving the problem.

Felix - please DO NOT cancel any meeting because of this. I have a team of experts looking into it so it will get resolved very soon.

/Mat

So maybe you can forward that?

Many thanks.

[Felix Küppers]

Hi Duarte,

Hahaha good one! You got me here

you mean the ant? I know it is funny at the first moment, it also made me smile, but really it is not nice to always look at it.

-Felix

[Andreas Hahn]

Hi Felix,

the experts are currently solving the matter here: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/gyfqdzb3kvpbapjqe2pdblrbwqa

This is CATASTROPHY! Andreas even called in Christine Lagarde to help out. How embarrassing.
 
I think it may be the mirroring of the site that is causing the bug to appear, so I re-mirrored and get this:

April fools everyone!

Ooooh - as evidenced in the stressed out discussions, you clearly fell for it sooo badly! The First Library-Parent initiative, bwahahaha you mortals!


<:-)

P.S Felix - how many times must I tell you not to breach the Brussels email confidentiality clause. These matters are between you, me and Christine. And the NSA. And Putin. And China. Strictly nobody else!

[Felix Küppers]

GREAT JOB MAT!! It was really fun! :)

Sorry for making our private correspondence public but in such an emergency situation, people (including me) sometimes make mistakes! :( I hope NSA, China and Putin will not put me into prison...

Just so you guys know I am not stupid

I also want to thank everyone who participated in our expert meeting,
that was a fun talk :D

[Andreas Hahn]

Oh,
and before I forget: Great idea Mat, thanks for making the effort and
giving others a fun time. Have a nice april fools day !

Hehe, those letters are a obviously a mere coincidental post-factual rationalization. We know what we saw, and we saw a totally stressed out Felix trying to save the whole EU but getting distracted from that bug that wouldn't go away no matter how much you rubbed.

<:-)

[Felix Küppers]

Mat! You shall be damned for all eternity for making an honest man look like a fool! How can I ever wash that shame off my virtual skin?

[Felix Küppers]

;) I was disillusioned there. Turns out, it was not a real expert meeting...

[Duarte Farrajota Ramos]

Posting funny and/or cat pictures is known to remove shame stains very effectively :D

Mat! You shall be damned for all eternity for making an honest man look like a fool! How can I ever wash that shame of my virtual skin?

[Felix Küppers]

Thanks Duarte.

In that case I'll go with a funny picture which shall convey the following message - Just like Darth Vader effectively filters/cleans the sea water, I rinse off the shame of this day:

-Felix

[Duarte Farrajota Ramos]

Hahahah good one!
He does suffer from heavy breathing though, maybe he has asthma or sinusitis or some other respiratory problem, maybe salt sea water helps, I dunno.

Hehe, of course, that would reasonably explain Darth Vaders behaviour
here ;)

Too bad, I missed that call :/
Was it recorded?

PS: Mat. ... grats :)

Hi Mario

Too bad, I missed that call :/

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. As I said, the experts where not real experts and to my surprise it was just an april fools scam. Who would have thought...
 

Was it recorded?

I am glad it wasn't
 

PS: Mat. ... grats :)

Yes, grats Mat for being evil -.-

Take it easy. ...
... I saw the topic after Jeremys and your post, so I sent Mat a private mail. I didn't want to spoil the thread and ruin his day. ... But may be I ruined yours :)

[Jeremy Ruston]

I'll add my congratulations to Mat. The timing was perfect - I read the original post before I'd been exposed to many April Fools gags. The actual TW file was well crafted, too. I've seen proxy servers do such strange things to HTML files in transit over HTTP that the apparent corruption was quite convincing.

So, thank you Mat for the one April Fools day gag that I really enjoyed this year!

Best wishes

Jeremy.
