    One of the earlier characters in the British soap opera, Brookside, was Alan Partridge (no relation to the Steve Coogan character) - he was an alcoholic programmer.

    Blimey that's going back a bit. I seem to remember he had an ACT Sirius on top of his fridge, for some reason.

    Like developing Commodore software? CBM prg Studio

        My coding gets 'creative' in two circumstances: my manic phase prior to a migraine starting, and the stoned phase when I've taken my drugs to deal with the migraine. Manic code is usually amazing for its quantity (quality is merely average). Stoned code is low in quantity, but the quality is fairly high, since I recognize I'm buzzed and I don't work on difficult stuff.

        Software Zen: delete this;

            I tried that once, then there was a person who commented that the code appeared to be written by someone who was drunk. That person was me. Thankfully is wasn't at work, just some stuff I wrote for coursework that did not get turned in. I had to rewrite it.

            It was broke, so I fixed it.

              There's worse - you do know they do a Bud Lite? I suspect it is actually dehydrated water...

              If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

                  They have the Gin in common to. Maybe Nagy is an undercover agent for the dark side?

                  People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

                    I have tried many combination, Cocoa and COBOL, Coffee and C#, Vodka and VB and even Tea and TCL. My favourite is Gin and Java. :-D

                    Never ever try Haskell then, you may get a habit.

                      Haskell and Hennessey, it may just work.
