I was just joking. I'm actually quite happy that you report these
bugs, because for some reason your setup exercises all of the
corner-cases that Hobbit should handle OK, but where it is easy to
implement something that works "most of the time". But "most of the
time" just isn't good enough for a critical system such as Hobbit -
monitoring has to work *all* of the time.
So your testing of Hobbit really is useful as quality control.
I have been working with computers in 30 years. Started to learn
Algol on a DataSaab D21. Then COBOL on IBM 360/65. (Also learnt
PL/1, APL, Assembler and Databus) All programs were on punched
cards.
Punch cards ... I just missed those, my class at the university was
the first one to use 8" floppy disks instead of punch-cards.
