Techie Made A Biblical Boo-Boo When Trying To Spread The Word
The Register, Monday, September 2nd, 2024
The technology was willing, but the cache was weak
Who, Me? Greetings, gentle reader, and may peace be upon you, for yea verily it is once again Monday and unto Monday we render another instalment of Who, Me? in which Reg readers unburden themselves with confessions of technical mishap.
This week's confessor we shall Regomize as "Gabriel".
Gabriel was, lo these many years past, helping his church set up a system for distributing announcements by telephone. Rather than having a physical telephone dialling machine with a magnetic tape, the newfangled system employed an online service. All you had to do was record your announcement, upload a digital file to a server along with a list of telephone numbers, and the service would spread the word to the congregation.
Many are the wonders.
