Oh, really now?
[/sarcasm]
Before I go off and rant about something, a little backgrounder...
Our company's billing system runs on Java Script Pages. It's sort of a locally hosted website made to process bills. However, since the contract for its maintenance was long over, and the people running the department have no idea how to program, or at least do a decent Database extraction using SQL, any "other" data that we request from them cannot be produced.
In short - if the report that is needed now was not foreseen when the program was created, you have no choice but to build it from scratch. A very tedious and annoying task, specially if you know that the data that you need is just sitting there waiting to be extracted...
Now, my department needed some data from the monthly bills they generate to work more efficiently. I have an idea on how to make use of that data without any additional program... so I decided to study how the JSP connects to the database. If I figure that out, I can simply run the SQL and extract what I need.
So I went and copied the entire "site" and studied how it ticks. After a few days of tracing code, I got none. I am more familiar with PHP than JSP, so no dice.
Just this morning, I heard that an area office got complaints regarding their bills. I also heard that they are sort of blaming me, for I might have "done something to mess with the program."
There are a lot of points against that...
First, I never did any altering. The only file I manipulated was a new file I made as a test to make sure that I got the right directory... then I promptly deleted.
Second, I concentrated my efforts in the report generating section, and not in any more parts - not specially the billing section.
Third, I made a duplicate of the entire system, placed it in another computer and studied the rest in there.
Bunch of freaking idiots. They just thought, "hey, that guy was messing around with the server, it's his fault!"
Good thing I have also heard that this "billing problem" have also occurred a few months back.
So...
"TAKE THAT!"
