It’s after midnight, I’m on my way to Vegas and I can’t sleep. Bugfix time. So I IM “the coder” and ask if we can work on some bugs in ExchangeDefender SpamMon.
Then I dragged a zipped solution over to the IM window and got the following reply from the developer:
“This is a little slow since I’m downloading like 20GB of warez”
“thus the reason i still can’t see my start bar instead of restarting”
Classy, very classy. It goes even lower after that:
Coder: when i asked you how i should address it you said “fuck it, leave it alone”
Vlad: damn, good memory
Coder: shock
Coder: well i remember that one because i had like 4 addresses and it was huge
Vlad: haha
Vlad: take up the whole screen
Vlad: block UI biaaatch 🙂
Coder: lol
Coder: system modal dialog
Coder: with no close button
Vlad: bind ALT+F4
Coder: man we really are geeks that we think that’s funny
You gotta love what you do…. Read Scott Adams “The Joy of Work” novel.
P.S. Before this becomes exibit 3A in the BSA vs. OWN, he was downloading warez to his home PC for his mother in laws PC. While I do not condone the use of pirated software, nothing makes free inlaw PC support disappear faster than sending the feds over to their house.
