    I know the perfect term... Just grit your teeth, stare at the error message (Or lack thereof), and scream at the top of your lungs, "#^*#&$ #*&$)#@(*&^%#)*@^#@%)*#&@%)(*@&#%!@$^#@)(&)*(^&$)^(#$_(@#$&@&#^%#!!!" Oh, sorry... Can't post it in cleartext here. But if you can decipher that string of profanity, you'll come to the abrupt realization..... That I just held down shift and mashed the number row on my keyboard :)

      I first heard joking about this as an HS student in the mid-late 90's. I doubt I or my classmates were the originators of it then...

                I've been working with asp.net ajax updatepanels and stuff. I don't know a lot about web forms and web programming. I'd say that I am still learning. But lately I just tried using a file upload control inside an asp.net updatepanel. It didn't work. Little did I know that it wouldn't work. It just ended up blank in the server side. And when I researched for it I found that the actual reason for this is that the xmlhttp object which makes async calls does not support file upload at the moment. That was when I let out a sigh of exhaustion. I know there are a lot of programmers that can relate to this. I just want one term that kind of sums the above experience I just had... EDIT: basically you come to realize there is no point doing it. Then again I know about workarounds, but thats not where I am getting at...

                      Usually starts with Stupid, lying, son of a bitch for systems that I must use. F**k you, you're out of here for systems that are not essential, tools or add ins. This type of verbal reaction is somewhat disconcerting to the bean counter residing over the partition from me.

                                        I've been working with asp.net ajax updatepanels and stuff. I don't know a lot about web forms and web programming. I'd say that I am still learning. But lately I just tried using a file upload control inside an asp.net updatepanel. It didn't work. Little did I know that it wouldn't work. It just ended up blank in the server side. And when I researched for it I found that the actual reason for this is that the xmlhttp object which makes async calls does not support file upload at the moment. That was when I let out a sigh of exhaustion. I know there are a lot of programmers that can relate to this. I just want one term that kind of sums the above experience I just had... EDIT: basically you come to realize there is no point doing it. Then again I know about workarounds, but thats not where I am getting at...

                                          In that kind of situation, people familiar with me are used to hearing me say "Aww, Mate!". That's not "mate" as in chess, but mate as in "plumber's mate", because my, shall we say, understated response usually includes a declaration that I should have been a plumber -- then I would at least understand why I was up to my neck in sh1t, from time to time.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
