TO: &amp;lt;developers&amp;gt;&lt;developers&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
SUBJECT: New Code Conventions&lt;/developers&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;In order to increase the readability of the code that you people are turning out, we're going to have to implement some new code conventions. &amp;nbsp;I'm no idiot and used to be able to hang with the best of them back when I was writing cobol, but this java shit is nearly incomprehensible. &amp;nbsp;I've talked with Larry ButtKisser and we've come up with some new code conventions that will increase readability and promote accountability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;* In-line documentation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Every&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;line of code should be&amp;nbsp;preceded&amp;nbsp;by at least 1 line of commentary. &amp;nbsp;The line should, at a minimum, contain the following: The loginID of every developer who has edited that line of code and a little note saying what that line does. &amp;nbsp;The more in-line documentation there is, the better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;* Deleting lines of code&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;No more deleting lines of old code, they should always be commented out instead with in-line documentation on who did the commenting and why it was done and what is replacing it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;* Variable Naming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;All of these long descriptive variable names are just wasting space and making the program bloat. &amp;nbsp;From now on, use sensible names like x, y, or i. &amp;nbsp;If you must use longer names, try to keep to 5 characters and under. &amp;nbsp;Of course, the real meaning of any shortened variable name should be noted in the in-line documentation for clarity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;These 3 simple changes should make the code much easier to read and maintain. &amp;nbsp;You people need to get on the ball! We are way behind schedule and I need to understand why and these changes should help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;That is all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It's times like these that I'm convinced that some developers have read too much Kafka, but then I remember that most developers are busy reading Wrox books and XKCD instead and have no time for irony.&lt;br /&gt;

   Mostly Pointless Lamp Switching (MPLampS) is an architecture for
   carrying electricity over IP (with an MPLS control plane).  According
   to our marketing department, MPLampS has the potential to
   dramatically lower the price, ease the distribution and usage, and
   improve the manageability of delivering electricity.  This document
   is motivated by such work as SONET/SDH over IP/MPLS (with apologies
   to the authors).  Readers of the previous work have been observed
   scratching their heads and muttering, "What next?".  This document
   answers that question.

   This document has also been written as a public service.  The "Sub-
   IP" area has been formed to give equal opportunity to those working
   on technologies outside of traditional IP networking to write
   complicated IETF documents.  There are possibly many who are
   wondering how to exploit this opportunity and attain high visibility.
   Towards this goal, we see the topics of "foo-over-MPLS" (or MPLS
   control for random technologies) as highly amenable for producing a

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I told you people to watch our toner budget and no one listened to me, so, now we are going to have to take steps to ensure that the situation is fixed. &amp;nbsp;I've told all of you repeatedly that the color toner is expensive and needs to be saved for reports and not used on code submissions. &amp;nbsp;And yet I continuously get all of these code submissions that are in a bunch of colors! &amp;nbsp;Yesterday, DougDev told me that he "can't help it" because the IDE colors the text that way for readability. &amp;nbsp;So, it's the IDE's fault? &amp;nbsp;Fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Henceforth, Devs should only use Notepad for coding. &amp;nbsp;Anyone caught using the IDE will be written up. &amp;nbsp;When someone figures out a way to keep the IDE from printing in color, we can talk about switching back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;That is all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Snfzy9TZcHo/S2r2INAvuZI/AAAAAAAAADo/ofhvbVd3EQ4/s1600-h/Table-X.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="236" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Snfzy9TZcHo/S2r2INAvuZI/AAAAAAAAADo/ofhvbVd3EQ4/s320/Table-X.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I checked with all of the other devs who had been there for a few years about this mystery table and was told to check the DB Schema documentation. &amp;nbsp;There was no reference to Table X, of course. &amp;nbsp;I told them it was a mystery and no one could seem to remember what it did (if anything). &amp;nbsp;Upon looking into it more closely, the table was found to have over 6 million rows containing sequential numbers. &amp;nbsp;This was taking up a good bit of space, so a decision was made to delete it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WHOOPS!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Deleting it crashed the application. &amp;nbsp;Nobody could log in at all. &amp;nbsp;And, of course, restoring the table fixed the problem. &amp;nbsp;We spent a week or so looking through the application code to find any references to Table X and there were none. &amp;nbsp;Another week was spent trying to diagnose the crashing problem at the DB level and that's where we found it... &amp;nbsp;Apparently, an intern from the community college had mistakenly used our production DB to learn SQL instead of doing it on the dev DB (about a year before I showed up). &amp;nbsp;He had written a update trigger on the login auditing table to insert a new integer into table X. &amp;nbsp;It only took an hour to fix the problem once found, but, it certainly taught us a lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pay for unpaid interns: &lt;i&gt;one way or another.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For those who don't, both the drives and the disks that went into them were notoriously flimsy, and they when they failed, it usually let you know by clicking once a second, on and on forever... &amp;nbsp;the drive was dead, your data was gone, your disk was killed. &amp;nbsp;Well, when you've got bored web devs who are always worried about the survivability of their ZIP data, what happens?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;This happens...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
RAID Level 1, my friends, on a pair of ZIP drives. &amp;nbsp;So, now, when you get the click of death, you can replace the disk (and maybe the drive if it co-failed) and get your data back! &amp;nbsp;Thank god they invented USB Flash Drives a few years later...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The man was white-haired with a white beard and he was sort of a squirrelly non-talkative type. &amp;nbsp;Without much fuss, I sold him the monitor and went back to fixing computers. &amp;nbsp;He called about an hour later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"How can I help you, sir?" &amp;nbsp;I asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Well, the doohick won't plug into the thingee. &amp;nbsp;I starts to go, but then it stops short of being all the way plugged in."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Beginning to suspect that the monitor pins might be bent - it was the only thing that sprang to mind that would prevent a monitor cable from going all the way in - I continued, "Okay, now, which is the doohick and which is the thingee?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He paused for a moment. &amp;nbsp;"The doohick you sold me won't plug into the thingee on the computer."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Gotcha. &amp;nbsp;Okay, can you look at the end of the plug of the doohick, sir?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Sure, I see it, there's little doodads in there."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Yes, sir, those are called pins. &amp;nbsp;Are they bent?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;"Are the doodads bent? &amp;nbsp;Naw, I can see most of 'em and they look straight."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We went on for a while longer, I got him to look at the thingee on the computer to see if anything was in - or blocking - the holes. &amp;nbsp;No luck. &amp;nbsp;Finally, I asked him to bring both the doohick and the thingee in for me to look at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The next day, the man showed up with the doohick and the thingee. &amp;nbsp;I pulled out the doohick (the monitor) and looked at it... &amp;nbsp;The doodads (the pins) were, in fact, bent. &amp;nbsp;But I could see how a layman would say they weren't. &amp;nbsp;The 15 individual doodads, themselves, were still straight - as in they were uncurved - but they had been pushed together into a few teepee like structures. &amp;nbsp;Curious, I checked the computer...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;*boggle* I didn't even know Epson made computers. &amp;nbsp;He said he had bought it in Argentina for a really good price. &amp;nbsp;It had an 8088 processor, a pair of 5.25" floppies, no hard drive, and CGA graphics. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;And therein lay the problem. &amp;nbsp;CGA used a 9-pin port and I had sold him a 15-pin VGA monitor. &amp;nbsp;He had been forcing the 15-pin plug into the 9-pin port and had teepeed all of the pins into the 9 available holes. &amp;nbsp;I apologized and tried to sell him a CGA monitor, but, he said they were too expensive (and he was right). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Ed: Exactly who's brilliant idea was it to take an existing plug form-factor and add 6 more pins to it. &amp;nbsp;When old graphics and serial ports were abundant, this kind of thing happened *all the time*. &amp;nbsp;I can't wait until someone designs a new USB port that happens to be a similar size to HDMI or something and the fun starts all over again.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8932343929537766493-4905558064048773986?l=www.icanhasdevjob.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Of course I had many brain donors call in, but here is one in particular that made me cry with sad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A &lt;a href="http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/DEU"&gt;lady&lt;/a&gt; called in and was very upset that our software had broken her computer. When asking for clarification, she said that when she had updated our software, it had broken it and it would no longer turn on. As she was not interested in hearing how a software update would physically break her computer, I asked her to attempt to turn on her computer. You could hear it turn on, so the actual computer was running, however nothing would show up on her monitor. She insisted that was proof that our software was the cause of her problem as she didn't have this issue before she ran the update.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I asked her what color the power button was on her monitor. She informed me that it was orange. I asked her to check the monitor cable connection at the back of her computer. She continued to argue and refused to do so for several minutes. After finally coercing her to make sure that it was secure, magically her monitor had a picture again and things were back to normal. I politely informed her that our software updates did not generally unplug cables as a side effect and she hung up the phone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #0000c8;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;So, what does this do? &amp;nbsp;It's a mouse click handler for a button! &amp;nbsp;It swaps out the button's picture for the next one (so, be sure to remember to keep the down picture as the next cast member or this will look wonky). &amp;nbsp;Then it plays a sound to start the click, then waits until you let go of the mouse. &amp;nbsp;At which point, it swaps the button's picture back out for the up picture and then plays the up half of the sound. &amp;nbsp;My favorite part is all of the "natural" language: me, the, of. &amp;nbsp;There's even an alternative to using the = sign, if that's too fancy for you. &amp;nbsp;Line 9 could be written like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
When I got there, I was dumbfounded.&amp;nbsp; Here's what the guy was trying to do:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had a brand new Samsung Jack phone on the bench.&lt;br /&gt;
It was plugged into wall power.&lt;br /&gt;
It had a USB cable in it that went to a USB hub (which was powered).&lt;br /&gt;
The hub had another USB cable in it that went to an external DVD drive (which was also powered).&lt;br /&gt;
The external DVD drive had a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate in it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's his sole question before I walked out:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Hey, Mike, this guy wants Windows 7 Ultimate instead of Windows 6.5 Mobile.&amp;nbsp; Where do I find this DVD drive on here?"&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To whom it may concern,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am a long-time computer user and one of the most experienced network users in our division. &amp;nbsp;I was part of the original project to set up Netware 2 and, later, Netware 3, so, I'm no stranger to working with networks. &amp;nbsp;Recently, as part of an effort to develop some new support materials, I was told to visit a network site called Flickr. &amp;nbsp;I have to ask, what is the point of this site? &amp;nbsp;I can search for terms and it returns a browsable list of what... &amp;nbsp;captions? &amp;nbsp;I don't get it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Please advice as to what I'm missing here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Thanks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Mr. Networker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had to ask for more information to help him. &amp;nbsp;Sure, we all knew what Flickr was, but, we didn't understand how he could "miss the point". &amp;nbsp;His reply laid it all bare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;To whom it may concern,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I don't get it as in, how is this any different than dogpile or yahoo? &amp;nbsp;I put in a search term and it returns a bunch of blurbs to me that don't necessarily have to do with my search term. &amp;nbsp;If I wanted that, I could pick random lines from a dictionary. &amp;nbsp;I seriously doubt that there's anything wrong with my computer since I'm considered a power user within the division, so, I suspected that it may be something wrong with the network you've been administering. &amp;nbsp;Regardless, here is the information you've requested:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Please fix the network asap and tell me what I am supposed to have seen on this Flickr network site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy:&lt;/b&gt; Hey! &amp;nbsp;I need to get to my dev site and I can't!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy:&lt;/b&gt; Well, I can ping it internally by IP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; I think I just said that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy:&lt;/b&gt; But when I put the name into my browser, I don't get anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; I think I just said that, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy:&lt;/b&gt; Ok, so any suggestions? &amp;nbsp;Like I said, I can ping it interally by IP.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; How about typing that IP into your browser bar?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy: &lt;/b&gt;Good Troubleshooting Idea! &amp;nbsp;I'm going to try that, hang on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager: &lt;/b&gt;Okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; How do you mean?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy: &lt;/b&gt;when I use the IP, I get the site, but the address bar doesn't change from the number.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; That would be the expected behavior.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Some Guy: &lt;/b&gt;Oh? &amp;nbsp;Ok. &amp;nbsp;So just use the number from now on?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Web Manager:&lt;/b&gt; No, only during the upgrade cycle, afterwards, you can you the names again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So, I can't decide... &amp;nbsp;is the height of laziness or the height of malfeasance? &amp;nbsp;Sure, I guess it could really be a hassle to type out the names of the months again and again for drop down lists, but only if you don't know how to write it once in an include file or library. &amp;nbsp;The laziness here could be either being too lazy to type the months repeatedly or too lazy to learn how to not type the names repeatedly. &amp;nbsp;If, on the other hand, this user is aware of the cost of a database connection and chooses to pull this mundane list every time someone needs to fill in a date drop down, then I say Bravo! &amp;nbsp;That'll show 'em. &amp;nbsp;Show 'em what, I can't say, but, by gum, it will &lt;i&gt;show&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A few years ago - when Apple's monitors looked suspiciously like the original iMac but with insect legs - we were upgrading all of the Mac users on campus to flat panels. &amp;nbsp;I can't &lt;i&gt;tell&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;you how many times I had this exact same conversation:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Wow, a flat panel! &amp;nbsp;I love it! &amp;nbsp;It looks like something from Star Trek!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Ok, are you ready for your new monitor?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Sure, but, how are you going to get my files transfered over? &amp;nbsp;Have you got a jump drive or a hard drive or some kind of cable?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We're not replacing the computer, just the monitor."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Oh, ok, sure. &amp;nbsp;But how will you get the files out?"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"We're not replacing the &lt;i&gt;computer&lt;/i&gt;, just the &lt;i&gt;monitor&lt;/i&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Ah, I see ok, sure. &amp;nbsp;So they'll just automatically transfer or something? &amp;nbsp;Man, Apple really &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;user friendly."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"No, we're not replacing the &lt;i&gt;computer&lt;/i&gt;, just the &lt;i&gt;monitor&lt;/i&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Ummm..."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"When you replace the windshield in your car, you don't have to worry that the stuff in your trunk will disappear with the old windshield, right? &amp;nbsp;Same thing here."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Oh! &amp;nbsp;Oh, ok, I got it. &amp;nbsp;Sure. &amp;nbsp;They'll still be in the same place after you've moved them."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
/sigh/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Yes, I'll make sure to do it so it's just like you left it. &amp;nbsp;You know how easy Apple makes it."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was repeated time and time again... &amp;nbsp;it really was a grind. &amp;nbsp;And the kicker came a week after we were done. &amp;nbsp;The dean called me and the other technician one afternoon and had some harsh words for us. &amp;nbsp;Here's the subsequent email:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tech Staff,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;During the recent apple upgrade, it has come to my attention that little care was given to the preservation of existing faculty work. &amp;nbsp;Specifically, more than 1 faculty has contacted me and informed me that they would be late submitting their annual reports because the files which they had been working during the last 2 semesters were not properly transfered during the equipment swap out. &amp;nbsp;To this end, I am including a list of users who will need to have these files recovered from their previous equipment and sent to them ASAP. &amp;nbsp;If this cannot be done in a timely manner, we will have to review our technology personnel and data policies so that we can ensure this does not happen again in the future. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Please advise... &amp;nbsp;I'm assuming that when you say start menu, you mean the square button at the bottom of my phone. &amp;nbsp;I'm not seeing an "all programs" option here. &amp;nbsp;Do you mean the app store? &amp;nbsp;There is no "folder" called SomeCorp in the app store, although there is something similar to UsProgram. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;This despondant dev made an HTML comment (which would ultimately be visible on every page that used this include file) in which he dispaired about his job and wishes to be saved or fired. &amp;nbsp;I can tell you that his wish(es) came true! &amp;nbsp;Both of them! &amp;nbsp;He began "dating" his supervisor who, later, fired him for being a shitty depressed boyfriend. &amp;nbsp;One wrongful termination lawsuit later, he's managed to get some psych help and now happily plays the market instead of working. &amp;nbsp;Makes &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; wish I wish I was dead.&lt;br /&gt;
