Laura Fisher plurked the mysterious phrase “mitten is vaguery” earlier this evening. Turns out that in the context of the GoPlan project management site… she’s right.

Seems like some kind of deep but odd database corruption has crept in at GoPlan. Whenever a hyperlink to Laura’s account appears on our project site, my name appears; when a link to me appears, her name shows up. Click “Laura Fisher” and you’ll be emailing me, for example; I edit something and the RSS feed records her as doing it.

She’s nowhere near as wordy or bossy as I am, so this is clearly a mistake.

Update: Tiago Macedo from GoPlan support responds by pointing out that Laura’s account record has my name in it, and my account record has her name in it, so ‘if you change your name everything will be “as expected”.’

And the big question right here is: How did private, session-associated data get mixed up, and how often does that typically happen in a bugless, secure, safe Web application these days?

Scary. Very close to asking for a refund on this one issue. WTF, WeBreakStuff?
