SOFTWARE: Found a strange software bug but don’t know who to blame

I downloaded my EKG from MYCHART into my MACOSX Sequoia 15.5 using FIREFOX 138.0.3 (aarch64).

No problem.

Went to attach it to an email.  Problem.  File’s not there?

Fist time in a long time I was befuddled.

Repeat the process.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown

Same result.

Restart. Rinse and repeat.  Same result.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown

Try SAFARI version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8)

Rinse and repeat.  Same result.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting diffe rent results.” — attributed to Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Rita Mae Brown

Since I echo all my stuff into DROPBOX 224.4.4811 and the file is there as expected.

Attached it to my email and away it goes.

Now really confused.

Go back to FINDER version 15.5 and … …

<drum roll>

It’s there.

Argh!

I don’t know who to blame.

“It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.”  — Sir Winston Churchill, in a radio broadcast in October 1939

I guess I’ll never know!

I liked this one best!

“We are often told that the Gold Standard will shackle us to the United States. I will deal with that in a moment. I will tell you what it will shackle us to. It will shackle us to reality. For good or for ill, it will shackle us to reality.” – Winston Churchill

POLITICAL: Winston Churchill’s bust

White House Busted!!
by Keith Koffler on July 28, 2012, 12:38 pm

*** begin quote ***

The White House incorrectly claimed that a bust of Winston Churchill was not removed from the White House when President Obama moved in, insisting with emphatic certainty that it had simply been moved to the residence but then retracting the assertion.

In a “Fact Check” post added to the White House website Friday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer scornfully dismissed as “100% false” the “rumor” that Obama had removed the Churchill bust that had presided over the George W. Bush Oval Office and shipped it back to the British.

Turns out Pfeiffer’s was the false statement.

*** end quote ***

What a bunch of amateurs in the White House. This was big news in the blogosphere when it was done. 

Did they think folks would forget?
