GMP Testing Discontinued Due to Aggressive Dog

3 points by Zafira 2 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


We're are discontinuing the operation of the huge, diverse GMP test systems setup. The reason is very odd: We can no longer live in the Stockholm house where we have the computers and are therefore selling it. There is a large, insanely aggressive dog roaming the neighbourhood. The dog has a felon owner who is beyond all reason.

But surely, the Swedish authorities will take care of the situation?

No, they will not. We have tried very hard to make them follow the law.

The aggressive dog as now attacked and bitten one adult, a 11-year old child, and most recently very badly injured Torbjörn's dog Penny. One would think that attacking a child should be enough, right? Alas, the authorities do nothing. Wait, they did sent the felon a letter where they asked him to obey the law. Unsurprisingly, he ignored the letter.

So no more GMP testing. It is not likely yo be restored, as we cannot practically manage the computers with any alternative hosting solution.

For anyone wondering what GMP is:

"GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic"

I guess you have to figure that more systems than you realize are one aggressive animal away from collapse :(
