Signature ideas???
-
Hi all, How do you guys get ideas for your signature text???? I have a new one. :cool: Cheers, Junkie "* Code till death *"
I used to make up a new one for each post, but Nish wore me out trying to keep up with me. Now I use one of a few methods. I steal anything that strikes me as wonderfully clever from people none of the regulars here know (my current sig, for instance). I quote the most incredibly stupid thing I've seen someone who should know better post (watch out - you could be next). Or I make something up that seems appropriate to the post I'm responding to at the time. Depending upon my level of inebriation at the time that can result in a sig that is brilliant, insipid, rude, boring, insulting, or a complete non sequitor. By the way, Junkie wrote: "* Code till death *" fits two of my categories. Guess which two. ;P "Another day done; all targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly." - Jennie Agard, McGuckin Hardware Systems Manager

Insipid comes to mind, too. Come on, exercise your brain, make up something clever and unique! You wouldn't be here if you were incapable of that much - CP is going to become your home, so make the extra effort! It's worth it:-) "Another day done; all targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly." - Jennie Agard, McGuckin Hardware Systems Manager

I wait until someone says something entertaining (or rather, something that entertains *me*), or i hear something in a song that sounds good, and copy it into my sig. The tricky part is trying to make it look decent both in the forums and in the email replies...

No offense but David Wulff wins the Worst Looking Sig In An Email Contest :-D Mine strangely enough seems to get stripped of all the formatting and DIVs, which is great :) Shog9 wrote: wait until someone says something entertaining (or rather, something that entertains *me*), Hehe, right on.

Whenever anyone insults VB, I copy it into my sig and delete the oldest one that is there already. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002
You missed one of mine, Christian. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

small>Paul Watson wrote: Yeah. No offense but David Wulff wins the Worst Looking Sig In An Email Contest Yeah I know, I've been meaning to fix that for ages... how does this one look? [edit] BTW, the reason mine didn't work before (if it works now) was because I had <'s and >'s within my div tag, and that confused the regular expression used to strip the HTML, hence that mess that was my e-mail sig. :)

Still doing it? I think BTo was having difficulties a little while back 'cause it was very slow for me too.
