Introducing our newest additions to the Shed - NikitaTech and YetMoreTech (a little belatedly)

Yes they are real bonafide Techy types. Nikita is our new developer. YetMoreTech is an all-round techy guru type of guy. You'll see them around the place every now and then but they may not engage in too much conversation what with them being Techies (and if they do you might regret it and find your gaze wandering over their shoulders to other threads with other posters )

Tech (the original and the best) has been put out to pasture is in semi retirement in the Big Apple.

We are still on the look out for his permanent replacement but as he says (often), he's probably irreplacable...

It was me what broke MN - through being a halfwit. I didn't put some files where they should have been and so they didn't get copied when they should have and yadda yadda yadda.

New York is fine. I am in temporary accommodation at the moment and have to start looking for a flat - which is a bit daunting. My brother and his family live here though, which helps a lot on the local knowledge front (and it's nice to have them here of course.)

Meanwhile I am not mising corrie, thanks to the miracle of the slingbox.

Anyway, you are in very good hands with Nikita and YetMoreTech.... I'll still be poking my nose in from time to time I expect.

you cheeky item

ladytophamhatt · 18/03/2008 09:04

would a big NY company actually employ someone who worked in a shed?

I think he's got this new job under a false ID. Has anyone actually seen his CV??

He'll be back.

ladytophamhatt · 18/03/2008 09:01

tech??

leaving??

how in gods name has he managed that then??
so many of us have failed...he can't have left.

Helloe to the new blood BTW.

BecauseImWoeufIt · 18/03/2008 08:58

BALB - one wonders if they're quite up to Tech's standards yet ...

BoysAreLikeBunnies · 17/03/2008 23:50

Aha this explains that lol

ShinyHappyChickensLayingEggs · 17/03/2008 23:49

Who let Tech out of the shed???!! Now he's gone and got on (another) plane!

Give people an inch of freedom.. and see!.. they take a mile! (Or thousands!)

And are there no computers in New York, eh? eh? It is the world wide web you know!! Seeing as Tech has discovered the world outside his shed, he could use it to still serve Mumsnet!!!!

Welcome NikitaTech and YetMoreTech

[clings sobbingly to OriginalTech's ankles]. Enjoy New York. You KNOW you'll not be able to resist fiddling instead of doing whatever corporate tedium you've just signed up for.

Welcome NikitaTech and YetMoreTech .

Now, getting back to my request that I made to that loser OriginalTech that he didn't bother to implement for me.

Can we have an improved search with wildcards and SQL type syntax?

Like 'arf*'

or 'arf????'

and 'arfishy +blog -cod date>ddmmyy'

or something along those lines? It'd make it much easier to stalk people find posts that I'm looking for.

Ahem. Hello Nikita and YetMore.

WanderingTrolley · 17/03/2008 22:39

BIWI I instantly started singing this

llareggub · 17/03/2008 22:38

No battery techs here. Just locally sourced organic techs you know.

Carmenere · 17/03/2008 22:36

Ah yes, I expect he will be wanting Corrie updates

S1ur · 17/03/2008 22:36

Welcome new techys

So Justine when will you be posting their particulars and where will you be housing them?

Are they to share the shed or is that why you are considering a chicken coop?

BecauseImWoeufIt · 17/03/2008 22:35

If you listen really carefully you can hear the singing from MNHQ:

You can check out any time you like But you can never leave ....

JustineMumsnet · 17/03/2008 22:34

Oh Tech'll still be popping in I suspect - he won't let a mere five hour time difference and a full time properly paid job stop him I shouldn't think - you know how he loves a chat.
