The loanbook on Faulty Computers' website has not been updated for the last few days. It is as at 14th Feb still this morning. I told them about it early yesterday (Friday) but of course they've done nothing about it.

I believe they may have hit a program bug with the size of the loan IDs, which I think exceeded 32767 on Wednesday. [If you know anything about computers & programming, you'll recognise the significance of that number - the largest integer that can be stored in a 16-bit storage location. Some careless programmer not thinking ahead, maybe?]

Yep, that's the 'Y2K on steroids' bug which will cause the whole world to end at some future date. 8>.

I once looked at Fantastic Careers jobs website, and was quite wowed by their list of technologies that they want you to know to join the prestigious operation. Full of all those buzzwordy agile sounding technologies like Node, postgres, Rails, Angular, Clojure etc etc.
Sounded all very fancy, and then I thought about the actuality of their website and it's 'evolution' over the recent months, and laughed.
" It's gone wonky again, turn it off ! Turn it on!" comes to mind.

Or perhaps I'm being harsh, maybe their IT development funds are just directed towards borrowers applications.
I can just see the technical demos being run to show off it off: " See? With our new technology, it takes just 5 seconds for a £300,000 unsecured loan to be offered to a part-time hairdressing and pet grooming business with negative net assets of £300k to pay their tax bill, and then re-appear seamlessly on the investor side as a 5.5% A+ loan offering"

Back when it was first created the site used the PostgreSQL integer / serial data type for those IDs which is a 32 bit integer behind the scenes. I'd be surprised if someone made a conscious decision to go change that, so perhaps it's one of the other technologies they've layered on top that hasn't been implemented very well.

.... so perhaps it's one of the other technologies they've layered on top that hasn't been implemented very well. I'm sure your right, chris. There's been no related problem that I've noticed in the rest of the system, just in this csv download file, which is probably produced by its own batch program. I remember a few years ago the loanbook went missing for months while they were fiddling with the contents - perhaps the gave the job to the work experience guy!

The pages for Business Profile and Credit Score have gone missing on every loan. Looks like a table link in the database is corrupted.  J |

I'm seeing an internal server error (500) when trying to view my loan parts for sale. Have they been trying to fix things again? I've warned them about that!  |

My Sell tab showed the below for a moment, but now it's back to normal.  I was getting that yesterday - clicked again and it was normal. I have just tested my 'larger' account in Firefox and get the 500 error. It has now spread to the 'Loan Parts for Sale' Tab.

Since when can anyone bid 4% in auctions? Actually since when has there been an 'auction'??

My 500 error has gone away and I have lists of loans again. Now, however some of them have a blank 'Sale Price' - the system is well and truly faltering-creaking.

. Seriously?
