Anyone heard of cellular programming technique?

Your cubicle will no longer have a fixed location, using this technique. Each morning a part of your daily assignment will be to locate your desk and steal new office supplies to replace the stuff lifted by the moving staff. How this is related to greater productivity is still unclear, but it must work - it's all the rage in management trade magazines this week.

It's like teleworking, only you use your cell phone.
we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr.

They're bluffing. See it's like this: geeks try to outgeek each other. So, a conversation goes like this: Geek #1: I thought I'd use XML in my next app. Geek #2: Yeah, I did that. CSS, XML, XSL - they're all good. Geek #1: I've been using a little cellular programming technique, too. Now, at this point in the coversation, Geek #2 can admit he doesn't know what "cellular programming technique" is and risk being humilliated by the leet skilz of Geek #1. Or, he can call his bluff. If Geek #2 calls the bluff of Geek #1, and Geek #1 is faking, Geek #2 wins. But, if he calls the bluff and "cellular programming technique" does actually exist, Geek #2 loses. ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]

I think this is pretty close to the truth. From what I've been able to gather so far, "cellular programming" is just modular programming with really small modules.

Programming using SMS would suck big time. Tell the researchers to scratch that idea. ;) -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben.

Maybe they meant that they were programming for cell phones, like bluetooth and WTL. Perhaps the programs will be for small devices like CE.
