The conclusion of Tha Hat and Space Hat B-plot

Texas or Florida it’s all the same. Space Hat will still be here after being exposed to leaking hydrogen.
Woe is me! Never see Space Hat again.
At least he wasn’t leaving on one of those fast boats headed back to Columbia.
Into the early aughts I used to process DMV insurance coverage for Florida motorists and we had to hire some dudes out of retirement in order to put the data onto reel-to-reel tapes because nobody else knew how to do it.
In the later aughts we paid a third-party to combine the data for all the states we had to report to and the technology had advanced to modems – I had one on my desk specifically for that purpose.
We still had all the accessories for reel to reel tape, removable platter harddrive, and punch card processing when I started.
I support faxing and batch processing. Neither is the “glamorous” side of IT, but we’re still handing 200k faxes per month, and somewhere around 10k daily unique batch tasks (repeat tasks are only counted once per day).
The “glamorous” side of IT is a pain in the ass I’m happy to leave behind and to the kids. All customer-facing real time & phone calls at 3 in the morning. No thanks, done with that.
These days nothing is so pressing it can’t wait for the next morning to fix. It’s all back-end data – the business types want to play with it but it’s not real time thank goodness.
The downside of batch processing is that it’s after hours so if it goes down, I get called.
Thankfully it’s so stable that is a rare event.
My team processes tons of files 24 hours a day but when it breaks it can wait til the next day 🙂
