RBL G33Khttp://workandothernonsense.comI live as a computer geek in the world of the technically challenged. By day scripting life one program at a time. At night, walking the pathways of the mundane. All of it done with a sharp wit and complete filter failure. I'm just as surprised as you at the things I say...or type. My motto is, "It was a good idea at the time!" Words to live by unless you're accused of murder and then... I'd find a better motto.

SuperVamp, or SuperZombie?

by

So….today’s conversation contemplated the following question….

Can Superman be turned into a vampire or zombie?

My only question is….which would be worse?

Commitment to Commenting

by

When you’re searching for a solution and find the best code comments…

comment

Although the funniest comments I’ve ran across stated:

/**

This code does something. Once I figure out what is it I’ll use it.

**/

To this day, no one knows what the code does….and no one touches it!

If you’re talking about my comments… You get statements like this:

/**

————Failed attempts to achieve random goals – moving on!————
**/

My commitment to commenting could have me committed…. but moving on!

Confirming the Confirmation is Confirmed

by

Sometimes, Wednesdays start off a little weird….

ME: Hey, the ExportCD job has been running for 11 hours. It should only take an hour and a half….

Genius-Developer-Guy: Yep, sounds like a problem. *Quickly walks out the door…*

Well…at least we’ve confirmed there’s a problem.

Programming Virgins

by

All in a days conversations…..

Me: “It looks like a crime scene in here….”

Boss: “All that is missing is the blood splatter…”

Me: “That can be arranged…”

Boss: “Well….who do you propose we sacrifice?”

Me: “Typically, a virgin….”

Boss: “Can you program that..?”

Me: “No, the code for that was broken long ago….”

I wonder if the new AI sex dolls are considered virginal until utilized….?

iLive vs. iDead

by

Statement of the day….

“People keep calling wanting to talk to a live representative. I really have the urge to pass them off to a dead one!”

I have often wondered if I’ve reached a living, or dead, representative when calling customer service. I now have the answer!

Is it possible I’m living in an episode of iZombie and I didn’t know it….??
