No, you didn't. You just understood the laws in a wrong way :-)

<Put On Scientist Hat> Your cubicle is measured in area whereas the pile-up takes up volume which is definitely more than the area. </Take Off Scientist Hat>

You are, of course, correct. :rolleyes:

I believe I may have broken the laws of physics today. In preparation for a corporate cube shuffle I have managed to remove a good part of 13 years of parts, product and paper work from my cube. The pile from that takes up more room than the square footage of my cube. I suppose there is the vertical factor of the cube cube footage to consider though. I’m glad we don’t have a digital cleanup day as I am a confessed digital information hoarder. That would take a week or so to sort through.:-O

13 years in a cube - that is worse than 12 years a slave. :~

Was that the guy who wrote the VB code you inherited? :)

No, No, two reasons we didn't have that client & bats have some sense(!) still battling with that swine, looks like I have it on the ropes though. Over an f******** week it would have been quicker & cheaper for me to re-write it totally in C#! & not use comment style they did, what would have been sensible comments in totally the wrong place (and also functions that you would think would be used were used not being used!). :wtf: Another Goody from this joy the configure function runs all the tests! Hah!! VB compiles this c**p??

You did a bit (sorry!) The wound is not only fresh if the email I am typing at the moment doesn't get there it will be open (I stand to flayed on Monday by the boss who is on site (in sunny (ha!) Texas!)) :)

Only a week? I started on a digital clean-up for my new year's resolution and it is still going on. That seems bad, but what is worse is that the resolution was made in January 2009!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I've reached a compromise. What I download and can be filed easily, I immediately put on my NAS in some folder that makes sense. What's more difficult to file (can't decide where it belongs) goes to a folder named after the download date (YYYY-MM). I create one new folder each month, and on the 31rst, I move everything that's still in my main download folder into it--if I figure it's still worth hanging on to. So even though it may not be greatly organized, I never have to look at a folder that contains hundreds of files--that's the nightmare scenario...and I have an idea how old something is just by looking at the folder date. If I needed a filing system more complicated than that...then I'd say storage is cheaper than my time is worth.

If you told me I was going to have to spend the next 13 years in a cube I would say "kill me now". :sigh:

To misquote Edsger Wybe Dijkstra The use of COBOL VB cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense. :-D
