How did you guess, sleep is good, I sent the Exe that was desperately needed (it either works or they haven't realised it doesn't yet roll on the 24th) now I am fumbling with the VB that creates the ini file. XML, intelligent parsing No! flat text read in with the stream reader and pick it out with a substring (what can go wrong!) is the way to go... if I could get my hands on the original 9 year old that wrote this I would murder him!

The fact that you're being asked to do that kind of duct tape work to ship something that full of bugs seems to me to be the real problem.
(Some might think the fact that you're agreeing to it would be another one.)

I didn't agree to do it, I wasn't even in the room. I got lumbered with the famous 'Glenn won't mind having a look at that'

Hi, I usually reads a lot of documents specifying up time on applications but this was a new on for me. In an ongoing project they have specified that the application, when finished, should have at least 99.95% down time.
Makes me question why they are doing the project...

Come on then, how will you guarantee no more 43 seconds runtime per day AND ensure all the other functionality is available?

Man! You are going to have to work hard on that...have you considered a splash screen that takes 23 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds to finish loading, then close your app down 44 seconds later?
But hard on the users though...they better learn to type real fast.

Could it be Task application? just synchronizing stuff for 44 secs every day?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

This requirement is common in financial industry, service web sites, etc. But you don't usually agree on software but on service (SLA). 99.95% availability means you can be down 1.5 days per year. That's a lot of hours. Imagine Facebook doing that ( or Apollo 11 ). If your company took the assignment it means they are either pretty sure of their capabilities or ...

99.95% availability does, yes.
He is talking about 99.95% down time!

I'm just watching a documentary about the vikings, narrated by Neil Oliver, who's Scottish accent sounds me like acting and makes me hard to follow the movie...

There is only one Viking Documentary[^]; full of fun facts.
Spot the stained-glass is a fun one - used in various places despite the fact it was not developed to that extent for several centuries.

I found Viking to be very expensive.
