Ok I had to follow up on Ken's thread to prove that it is not just Lusers
that are crazy. At my last job we had a programmer that I swear was on
lithium. This guy was so far out there he would talk about writing code
according to the phase of the moon. Another story that I can remember is he
had an application which interfaced with a truck scale at the local
landfill. It was pretty basic and used to keep the books for fees and
weights of disposed material. Well he was convinced on several occasion that
people at the landfill were modifying his code and breaking his application.
Now it is true that the compiler and source code were on the pc but landfill
employees modifying the code LOL! These people hardly found the power button
let alone figure out how to escape from the menu system we had for them.
We often made bad jokes about this guy bringing a gun to work.

As a fellow programer I can attest to the well-known fact that
programs compile differently depending on the pahse of the moon.
Also, end uses often insert bugs into programs that are known to be
bug free. Happens all the time.

Just as long as nobody takes his stapler. Then he might set the building on
fire. |
