If your salt and pepper wish you a Merry Christmas, is that seasons greetings?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No, it's "seasonings greets"!

It's: seasons' greetings. (punctuation)

The expected sage advice: during this chili season, it thyme to curry favor with your condiments.*
*Condom-Mints are, perhaps, a popular seasonal snack, but I won't mention it, asI was tempted to extend he pun but didn't.

St. Valentines Day is the season to curry flavour with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Especially in Scarborough.

I've just had a support call from a customer to make some changes to a bespoke customer management and invoicing system, that I interfaced to their accounting system. I gave my normal one year of free support after delivery and acceptance, and offered continued support after that for a fee. This they declined, as the company "was undergoing a management and ownership change".
I never heard from them again.
Until today, that is.
I just hope I can remember what the hell I was writing TWELVE YEARS AGO! 
Apparently, "It just worked".

Or they've finally started using it

Actually, that was the first thing I asked - "What? Have you just started using it then?".
Apparently, it was been in continued use throughout.
I should have charged them more.

Yup! Charge like a wounded rhino.

I believe that wouldn't be fair, the prices should reflect the appropriate level twelve years ago.
Instead, just use the original price for starters and since the support continues from where you left off years ago, collect the 'late' annual fees from missing 12 yrs added only with nominal index raises for each year. Reasonable, don't you think?

So they got eleven years of maintenance-free software.
ms can't manage eleven days -- but people with a history of working for them still get job offers.
Incomprehensible, that

Wow! Kudos for an apparently very well designed and robust application! 
Now, figure out some way to assure some recurring revenue for your hard work! All of our stuff requires an annual fiscal year rollover process that we control...no support agreement, no rollover. It's worked well for us.

The trouble is, I work on both sides of the fence. Not only do I write LOB applications for some clients, for other clients I am an IT consultant. Those clients get really pissed when they have to fork out a large chunk of change for a year-end roll-over. I personally, believe that in most cases it could be automated. As a result, I always provide a process that will close the old year, and open the new year, usually with a wizard type approach for the client's accounting staff to follow.
Sill me, I guess.

Definitely not a good idea. Firework safety is no joke. The video in the article doesn't start until after the main explosion already happened, but here's one that happened in China a few years back. I definitely wouldn't want to be anywhere nearby when something like that happens.

While I was in Italy, in the early eighties, at least one fireworks factory exploded each year.
Horrendous events.

Workplace safety in Italy still sucks a lot.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It just took me several minutes to remember that "fireworks" in Italian is "fuochi d'artificio"
Where's translate.google.com, when I need it?
Oh.
It's at translate.google.com

First day of the year is usually a war bulletin of the dead and injured from the fireworks, especially in Naples. And workplace security is never taken seriously, even after dramatic incidents.
