Murphy's Law is in fact a series of rules that refer to the phrase "If something goes wrong, it will go.
We encountered something like this today at iGuRu.gr. But let's mention some of Murphy's laws and start from the beginning:
Nothing is as easy as it seems.
Everything takes more time than you think.
If of several things, one has the possibility of going wrong, it will be the one that creates the greatest damage.
If you know there are only 4 possible ways to get something wrong and take care of them, then a fifth will immediately appear.
Every solution raises a new problem.
Murphy's Law The Beginning: For some time now, a plugin and specifically a SEO plugin, we were presented with a small css problem. The graphical environment did not work as it should in the back-end.
Since it wasn't something that caused a malfunction in the add-on, we had left it because whenever we caught it, one would fix and one would break. The unnamed plugin got one information a week ago but the new version was impossible to work.
Αποφασίσαμε να καλέσουμε τον πλέον "ειδικό" να μας πει την γνώμη του για τα μυστήρια που συναντούσαμε στο plugin που ανέπτυξε. Ναι καλέσαμε τον developer που έγραψε το plugin na μας δώσει τα φώτα του.
Εδώ και μια εβδομάδα δεν είχαμε νέα του, αν και τον "βλέπαμε" να μπαινοβγαίνει στο site. Σήμερα όμως και μάλλον λόγω του ότι είναι δευτέρα, μπήκε αποφασισμένος να το φτιάξει.
And he did it!
The plugin worked, the dev went to sleep, and the messages started pouring in from Twitter and Facebook.
The website αρχικά δεν εμφάνιζε παρά μόνο το background, μετά επανήλθε μία δημοσίευση, και μετά επανήλθαν όλες αλλά δεν άνοιγε καμία... Να μην ξεχάσω και το ότι ήταν αδύνατο να αλλάξει κάποιος σελίδα.
Also as a fine print (for the end user) the analytics didn't show any titles, and the publications της σελίδας δεν εμφανιζόταν στο Google News....
The solution:
We deleted each account we created in super duper dev, and we passed the database from the beginning, so because we had nothing better to do on Monday afternoon.
Ελπίζουμε όλα να σταματήσουν εδώ...
