CONTACT - Marcus on MSN

Quote:

|-|ojo says: Good morning Marcus, sorry to bother you but I just wanted to introduce myself seeing as we've added eachother to our msn
Marcus says: Hello, I am sorry I am at a disadvantage without my data base telling me who you are by name.
Marcus says: I know you are a recent applicant
|-|ojo says: Oh my fault there, it's Lindsay
Marcus says: I remember programming you into the system only a couple of days ago.
Marcus says: Hello Lindsay
|-|ojo says: Yes, I just received the agreement yesterday. I'm definitely looking forward to an interview!
Marcus says: No, really I have my data base up and going. But I hit technical issues with it just recently and am going to have to restructure the whole thing
Marcus says: That means a day of data entry... yuck
Marcus says: I am glad. Does the agreement meet your approval?
|-|ojo says: I'd like to say I could help you there, but after a summer of data entry not too long ago...well I guess you would know.
Marcus says: You know the weird thing about the database, is it is like it was played with, but I am the only one with access and TOBI, well he has been "asleep" for days.|
-|ojo says: What do you mean by played with?
Marcus says: Well, most of the fields were rearanged and it looks like someone downloaded the addresses and emails and left the other stuff.
Marcus says: So now the only thing I have on everybody is names and IM's.... This means I have to go through every email and redo the database
|-|ojo says: Oh no...how many people have you got in the database?
Marcus says: I am sure it is nothing, don't worry, your info is safe, more firewalls than fort knox.... but I can't imagine this happening.... I am going to have to talk to Marty. This is something he would pull. Always thinking about himself and never cleaning up. I have about 500 people to do today.
Marcus says: The funny thing, is as I do 1, then I have only 499 to reference against. So the more I do, the easier the process gets.
|-|ojo says: At least you're looking on the positive side!
Marcus says: LOL, have to.
|-|ojo says: Marty sounds like the practical joker around the office.
Marcus says: I can't chat long, though this has been a wonderful interuption to redundancy. I have only 13 hours until Part 1 gets emailed. Marty is the clown. Marty is also the devil in disguise. He once had Jude believing the Canadians were going to invade America off the info TOBI provided
|-|ojo says: At least I can feel reassured being a Canadian! Well I won't keep you, I actually have to get back to a paper here. It was nice to finally meet you!
Marcus says: Likewise... take care, eh?

I wonder if we should be expecting an email from TOBI some time soon?

Another chat...

Just had a chat with Marcus myself... Part 1 of the interview starts VERY soon.

tom says:
Hey, just wanted to say hello, maybe talk a little bit. Looking forward to the interview process.
Marcus says:
Standby, will be back in a few
tom says:
Okay.
Marcus says:
Sorry, about that.
Marcus says:
I had a conference call going on. Forty Minutes until Part 1 goes out and everyone saved 100 questions till the last hour.
tom says:
Looking forward to it. How's TOBI working at the moment any technical problems so far?
Marcus says:
Well Mr. Allum, TOBI is learning discipline (so to speak)
Marcus says:
He is working well. To well. We have to make sure he doesn't break perameters
Marcus says:
How do you explain law, morality and life to a program?
Marcus says:
Yout can't you have to keep writing more an more code. Until the program is too big it shuts itself down
tom says:
That sounds pretty challenging, good luck.
Marcus says:
So, we are trying to teach it behavior through discipline. Cause and effect. Do something wrong, don't get something, do something right, get something...
Marcus says:
TOBI is starting to understand the principal.
tom says:
That's good to here, hope no major problems happen. Will I be contacted by email when the
tom says:
interview begins?
Marcus says:
Yes. The interview is about to begin in 35 minutes. The email will be sent then.
tom says:
See you then, goodbye.
Marcus says:
Well, hopefully I will be AFK..... not looking forward to the onslaught of questions. I hope no one comes to me. Marty says I can't help. And he just showed up. So I have to find out what happened about something in the office. And he CERTAINLY won't let me help people cheat.
tom says:
What happened in the office?
Marcus says:
Long story --- short story --- database was a mess last night
tom says:
How did that happen? Hackers?
Marcus says:
Not sure..... I think it could of been, no system alarms were tripped though
tom says:
Maybe TOBI is becoming self reliant?
tom says:
Long shot I know.
Marcus says:
Well, I have seen weirder things from TOBI....,.but come one..... He is not THAT capable.
tom says:
Heh, I was only being half serious, but you never know.
Marcus says:
I guess not, but um hey, I need to go..... I like your imagination..... reminds me of Marty kind of
Marcus says:
take care
tom says:
Goodbye.
