And you do. You just don't get AI.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

I go for the worst puns I can think of, or at least a play on words. Here's an example: We're developing a new product line, code-named "Mississippi" by the Powers That Be. My group's part of this is the system controller which runs the whole mess; it's name (chosen by yours truly) is "Delta[^]". My e-mail list for project members is called "Saints[^]".

If I pay less, can I not have the Artificial Stupidity, please?

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

A hard time, surely? :laugh:

Never let us coders pick the name: 1) I called a project for Avon and Somerset Police LOLOLO 2) For the AA it was RELAY 3) And my PM tried really hard to get Computer Line Integrated Test Or Repair Information System off the ground...

With my eyes shut, I open an encyclopaedia at a random location and point to a topic and wherever I land becomes the codename. It's known as the Womble effect.

Use an acronym or short form of an immediate parent software or system as a preffix followed by simple or common verb. This links your development effort to something well-known and gives stakeholders a software label that serves a one-word software specification. Example: Widget Company is having software system built for scheduling product development called Widget Development Scheduler (WDS). You as a separate contractor are writing a subsystem that should analyze schedules, hence, you should name your project WDSAnalyzer.

I did one titled "MaybeThisTimeEh", it worked on the first compile and the support staff were in a rush so I had to release it as was (internally only). It's quite funny when you hear support staff using the phrase "maybe this time eh" over the phone. I offered to rename it but they won't. Embarrassing but funny.

Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them along with this slice of humble pie, that comes direct from the oven of shame, set at gas mark 'egg on your face'.
