Content A REFRESHing View…

April 11th, 2007

For you web people out there…

It’s 4:50pm, you get another order due by the end of the day. You are still finishing up coding and/or desigining your current order. Well, the 5 o’clock bell goes off, you head out to your corner bar (or home for the married few), yet to finish the order. Next morning, you get a call from your boss… “hey, I don’t see the update we needed yesterday on the website.” Your response, while in a cold sweat, “let me check on it and call you back.” You quickly slap this late order together and upload it. Afterwards, you call the person back (more than likely your boss) and tell them, “I did it. I don’t know why you don’t see it. Did you hit refresh? The page is probably cached on your machine.” The response, “no, I’ll do it now - OH - duh, I see it now - sorry.” Of course your following response, “no problem.”

As I am sure this has happened to all of us from time to time, I must thank Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla for the use of their cache and saving my job!

    Priceless! But I swear it really was just a cache issue…
