Fun Fun Friday - Disgruntled Abletons Lash Out

Post by nebulae » Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:49 am

November 29, 2007, Dom Wilm's Flat, Berlin, 3:13am

Chat room created: L7_DONE!

// DW has just joined L7_DONE!
// BR has just joined L7_DONE!


Image: *sigh*

Image: Holy shit, what a fucking nightmare!

Image: no doubt! I can't believe we got it out the door...

Image: 20 betas...unbelievable!

Image: 21

Image: That last one doesn't count, it didn't fix shit.

Image: Well, if we follow that logic, neither does the release!

Image: LOL

Image: download THIS, suckers! hahaha

Image: hehehe...but we shouldn't laugh too hard, because they're gonna be emailing us with their bitch-ass whinying as soon as those bugs become public knowledge

Image: good point, man. Shit, it's gonna be a long night.

Image: why the fuck don't we ever release this shit at like 10am Berlin time? 7 releases, all of them driving all of us apeshit...you'd think they'd get a clue.

Image: bottom of the totem pole, man, get used to it. Shit rolls downhill.

Image: fuck that...get those asswipes in NY to deal with this shit...we have noobs on staff

Image: with access to the credit card server?

Image: ugh...don't get me started

Image: speaking of which, I just got a txt alert - fucking server's down again; I'll call Christian - brb


// CK has just joined L7_DONE!


Image: there you go again with the real creative chat room titles...good job

Image: oh bugger off!

Image: seriously, man, why don't you just wave a giant red flag at all the fanboys and call the channel "Hey everyone, here we are - come talk to us all about your L7 problems! We'd love to hear from you...we don't have anything better to do like sleep!!!!!!!!!!"

Image: wow, dude, chill

Image: no shit, dude, dial down the anger...find your happy place

Image: fuck the happy place! I need sleep! I haven't had a vacation in weeks! This release schedule was total bullshit! what do they think we are? Americans? I can't handle working 35 hours a week. August seems so long ago. I need a beach. I need sunshine. Why is it so fucking cold????!?!?

Image: dude, you're having a total meltdown

Image: I've had so much coffee, now my left eye twitches...The bugs...THE BUGS!!!!!!!!

Image: do you know those fucking Americans had like the whole week off last week?

Image: insult to injury!

Image: yeah, they sat around and ate a hideous bird

Image: it's called a turkey, dude...try not to sound so fucking uncultured...so what up with the credit card server?

Image: It's like we took tips from fucking Vista on how many permutations of L7 we can sell and with what bundles. I mean come on, Ableton Marketing, the average user is NOT THAT SMART! They keep refreshing and repackaging and putting stuff in and our of their shopping carts...the mac quadra 605 just can't keep up

Image: will someone PLEASE talk to robert and tell him we can't just keep creating server farms with his old macs? especially for credit card servers...It just ain't gonna work!

Image: are you kidding? if that hippie had his way, he'd be running the computers on acid from lemmons and potatoes and shit

Image: jesus, it's a miracle this company makes any money at all...just reboot that quadra...it's totally bottlenecking with all the fucking fanboys

Image: unbelievable! what the hell was robert doing with that box before he "donated" it to our credit card system?

Image: you don't wanna know

Image: yes I do

Image: he had this screensaver running on it - Image

Image: ok, so he was high on acid, BFD, that's like every other day

Image: no dude, he was showing it to his favorite pot plant

Image: WTF?

Image: seriously dude...I think he got his pot plant high on acid, had it tripping out to the quadra, and he was getting ready to roll up a joint with the buds growing off the high-on-acid hash plant

Image: ???!???

Image: you should have seen the look in on his face, man, he had this evil fucking grin, like MJ looking at a 10 year old boy or something....

Image: omg, we're fucked...this company is so fucked...my stock options are gonna be worth nothing...

Image: hahahaha, options...LOL, what a dipshit...hahahaha

Image: STFU!!!

Image: well, don't worry, at least you didn't exercise the options and actually put any of your own money into this sinking ship...

Image: hehe, yeah, man you wouldn't be stupid enough to do that

Image: bernd?

Image: holy shit, he did

Image: jesus, bernd, how much did you sink?

Image: :(

Image: my god, the stupidity!

Image: how much?

Image: look, gerhard was going on and on about how this was gonna be it! v7! we had industry support...people leaving Steinberg in droves...new instruments...this was the ticket

Image: you bought it, hook, line, and siker, didn't you?

Image: do you actually work at THIS company? what a fucking naive boyscout! geez, man get a clue!

Image: but all the excitement about L7?

Image: hype

Image: the new instruments?

Image: synthedit hacks

Image: all the sidechaining?

Image: they all create memory leaks that we can neither explain nor contain

Image: the merger with Cycling '74?!?!!?

Image: so pretty-boy Gerhard can go shopping in San Fran and have it be a tax write-off

Image: holy shit

Image: uh huh

Image: this can't be happening

Image: it just happened, you stupid motherfucker

Image: how much did you give them

Image: :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Image: oh god you gave them all your savings

Image: it was a sure thing!

Image: dipshit indeed!

Image: if I never again see another fucking fanboy telling me how fucking great Ableton is, it'll be too fucking soon!!!!!!!

Image: man, I soooo don't blame you...
