Realtime Report Quirk

Hey guys,

Just a bit of fun for you guys...did anybody notice on the realtime report (arguably contender for one of the "killer apps" on the Admin section of ViCiDial);

Image

Code: Select all
Day 433: My campaign went live on ViCiDial quite some time ago now and my report is still counting down to refresh. I hope the agents are keeping well and not having any problems. I miss Bob. My report will refresh in some months with any luck. Hoping the web server stays up in time for my refresh. If anyone finds this message...do not close my web browser! Peace out.


I enjoyed this. Thanks guys!
Martin.

We had a client that wanted a STOP option on that report, and that was the easiest way to do it. But instead of calling it "STOP", we decided to make it a 2-year refresh rate :)

We have a few other little nuggets like that hiding in the corners of the code, like the HTTP 418 error response(teapot protocol), ./vicidial/non_agent_api.php?function=coffee

Nothing will beat the 90s easter egg in Quark Xpress that (if you hit too many buttons when deleting something) would walk a robot out onto the screen, zap the item, and then walk back off the screen. Note that this was the early macintosh days just before the world forgot what "typography" was.
