Santa's IT Woes (Advent 22)


I thought I didn't have enough geek cartoons this advent season and then on switching on my home PC it went into disk recovery mode - a frightening surprise.

Which led me to wonder how Santa would keep track of all the naughty and nice kids in the world without a North Pole IT datacentre with virtualised servers hosting a massive database.  Perhaps in the past he did use pen and paper and naughty kids were punished but I like the idea that since switching to newer technology to cope with a growing population the elf techs just haven't managed to get it to work and so Santa has had to deliver to everyone - even those who don't deserve it.
