Do you speak to your computer/monitor ?

Is it normal or my level of crazyness is little high ? :eek: I´ve friend at work that does strange noises while working... that´s weird... Mauricio Teichmann Ritter Brazil mauricioritter@hotmail.com
I think this is normal. I talk to my programs...like "You piece of sh!t, how the hell did that happen?". Some of our computers do answer back. When we were testing some of our distributed COM stuff, we setup talking servers. So when you were doing somthing bad/weird etc, one of the other programmers would start it up remotely and you would get something like "Ooohhh god, I'm coming..." out of your speakers. :-D :-D :-O Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I'm not breathing, I'm either dead or holding my breath. A fool jabbers, while a wise man listens. But is he so wise to listen to the fool?

I have got to set it up.. We have had to put in an infinite-loop detector because I have tendency to code them into my web pages hehe. Everyone takes 10 minutes off work when that happens as the server reboots. A "Paul! Stop playing with yourself" audio loop would cure me of infinite-loops for good! :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Martin Marvinski wrote: Unfortunatly Deep Throat isn't my cup of tea Do you Sonork?

There was a guy in my Intro to RPG (X|) class who used to type so sporadically and PUNCH the keys in such a stacatto fashion that it took a lot of restraint to avoid telling him to STFU! The keys go down easier than that!! - Jason Do you have a Pulse? SonorkID: 100.12194 :bob:'s your uncle
That's like my sister. She done a typing course a few months back. She used my keyboard as if it was a particularly old and very stiff typewriter. :rolleyes: Simon C++: Only friends can see your private parts. Sonork ID 100.10024

For some reason, I am reminded of the time our class found the Say program on Amiga Workbench (ahh) during secondary school. I came home with that damn computerised voice in my head; "Sir is gay" "Sir is impotent" etc etc :rolleyes: Simon C++: Only friends can see your private parts. Sonork ID 100.10024

It's looking like I'm the odd one out here. I don't think I talk to my computer. However, I do catch myself talking about it as if it were an entity (my computer is being stubborn, my computer is being nice to me today). qomi "Don't compromise yourself. It's all you've got." - Janis Joplin

What's strange about that? I once interviewed an engineer who, when I returned to the interview with my boss to continue the discussion, was found standing in the corner facing the wall, alternately mumbling to the wall and laughing hysterically. Nothing unusual in that place, but it usually took a couple of years' working for us to set in. Needless to say, it was considered poor interview technique and we didn't return his subsequent calls. My monitor and I aren't speaking today...

God yeah, I remember using PenDown in Primary School! I was fascinated with the fact that you could make really big letters and print them. I once copied the files over to a floppy, hoping that it would work on my Amiga :rolleyes: Simon C++: Only friends can see your private parts. Sonork ID 100.10024

My wife says I do the same thing. I just increase the volume of my typing until I can't hear her. ;-) Tim Lesher http://www.lesher.ws

I speak to my monitor sometimes. I only swear at it. Sometimes I give it hand gestures too. :) "The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants." - Omar Bradley
