    Anybody else use creative or colorful “place holders" or comments that reflect the mood of the day? [Edit] Add missing apostrophe to subject title

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      I did once in a college programming assignment once putting an "alert" once in a program while developing it that read "b****cks you shouldn't of gotten this far!" and forgot to remove it before submitting it and received a fail. my lecturer wasn't impressed with the comments.

        There should also be an apostrophe in the title.

              After having a hard time with an ERP, which I had to use on rare occasion, and which required a password that I always forgot and which was PITA to enter due to an horror GUI, I entered "TaMereLaPute_12" as new password when retrying for the 100th time (hey passphrase, very secure :rolleyes:). So far so good. By the next login, I blocked the system and had to call an admin, and in the debugging steps he finally could read my password in clear text. :-O And then I was glad he was German and did not understand it. :-O Note to self: Never use abuse as passwords.

                  I imagine, being a lecturer and presumably a bit of a Radio 4 listener, he would have been more offended by your use of "shouldn't of" than your use of "b****cks". I learned that lesson the hard way too. I used to log out of my Unix system by typing "f*** off", whereupon the system would reply with an equally charming "p*** off" and then log me off. I was demoing my work to my postdoc supervisor, and totally forgot where I was, so at the end I logged off in my normal puerile way. My supervisor helpfully suggested that I should try and avoid doing that in front of our business partners.

                        I like to put in a "your life still sucks." comment every now and then in my code for old time's sake.

                            While still in school working on a c++ program for class, I got frustrated for a minute and created an error message that read " MR. Instructor is a freakin pain in the ass and a damn slave driver" I did know that he had a good sense of humor before I did it though...

                            Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

                              The other day I was working with some javascript code, and for some reason jQuery wasn't liking this code:

                              var someFancyElement = jQuery("#" + someFancyElementId)[0];

                              I thought it had something to do with the @ symbol in the element ID, so I tried changing the @ to a _, but that didn't work... finally I gave up and tried the "old-school" method:

                              var someFancyElement = document.getElementById(someFancyElementId); // jquery y u no work?!?

                              Somehow that worked, and I wound up copying that line to a few other places where jQuery wasn't quite working the way I expected...

                                Anybody else use creative or colorful “place holders" or comments that reflect the mood of the day? [Edit] Add missing apostrophe to subject title

                                It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                I created an Access front end to an adhoc colour catalogue production system I had written: On each user creating their 100th catalogue a picture of Cliff Richard is displayed together with the words "Congratulations and Celebrations" - it went down well with the users. The other was purely innocent and accidental - the accounts(debtors) department was staffed mainly by women and I created a piece of code that exported data for them on a daily basis - it was only after a few months that I noticed a possible misunderstanding in the name of the procedure - DebtorsExport.

                                      Thanks - you know I never spotted that one before and yet it is so obvious. Is that site still going strong? - I always used to navigate away from it as fast as I could as it always wanted money or a subscription - what a pita it was!

                                        I still occasionally click on one of their dang links when doing ye ole Google search. And just as quickly backpedal away.

                                        Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

                                          I imagine, being a lecturer and presumably a bit of a Radio 4 listener, he would have been more offended by your use of "shouldn't of" than your use of "b****cks". I learned that lesson the hard way too. I used to log out of my Unix system by typing "f*** off", whereupon the system would reply with an equally charming "p*** off" and then log me off. I was demoing my work to my postdoc supervisor, and totally forgot where I was, so at the end I logged off in my normal puerile way. My supervisor helpfully suggested that I should try and avoid doing that in front of our business partners.

                                          I was once demoing a new reporting function on a system for the key IT people of our European networks when I clicked on the button and a report window popped up saying "Fuck of you cunt!" Fortunately they were suitably impressed by the new functionality to ignore the profanity.

                                          Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
