The Confession Topic: Get It Off Your Chest!

[The_Doctor]

I have a really huge slice of toblerone cheesecake... and I'm not sharing

[TheRocket]

Toblerone cheesecake? Before today I never knew heavon on earth existed...

[dackwards d]

My stepmother makes the best toblerone cheesecake ever. EVER. Even I can't resist it, and I rarely eat sweet foods. Actually she really just kicks ass at making desserts in general. She's awesome.

I was going to say this, but I was worried that I'd be the only one

[SilPho]

I've had to assure my superiors at work that the show-stopping problems on the pre-release server are caused because it isn't a live server and therefore won't appear when the code goes out to the live server tonight.

Man, I hope I'm right.

[Geoff_B]

Yep I know that feeling

[SilPho]

I guess I should add that the reason it's in the confession topic is because I'm not as confident as I told them I was.

ddue, don;t worry about it. If it the server doesn't launch with the code, then you can launch it afterward. Not a huge problem on the grand scale of things.

Remember: Eddie Izzard shows us techno-joy

That's how I approach problems with code at work. "Let's just run it and see what happens. If nothing else, then FOR SCIENCE!!"

[Geoff_B]

The problem then is people go "But you said this this and this!"

[GaProgMan]

Said isn't the same as written down. S'why we have spec documents. Boom!

[Geoff_B]

Which are fine as long as someone actually reads and agrees to them. Many's the time I've written a spec, done the work only for someone to come back and say "Why does it do this?" or "It should do this differently". I still write them but I despair of anyone ever reading them.

Oh it was, I'd post photos but it's all gone

At which point you point out to them that the spec is a form of contract, and that any further work would require further remuneration/time/tools. Also, they should learn to read specs a little better.

Update from the morning after: All seems good. Phew.

[GaProgMan]

I'll tell you what didn't happen: I totally didn't dream about someone I've been crushing on for a while. Someone who is a member of this forum.

Nope, totally didn't happen.

[JustAName]

Well, that's a relief. Gunner would probably take it awkwardly if he knew you were fantasizing about him.

[Elomin Sha]

If it was me you're going into the special bag.

[The_Doctor]

For child molesters and people who talk in the theater?

[Elomin Sha]

Pretty much the Catholic Church, people who talk in theatres and the Welsh.

[GaProgMan]

I'll go quitely

[Lord Chrusher]

I only just watched Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

[LogicSword]

I still haven't.

[GaProgMan]

I'd never noticed the red dog house, and the dog laying on it, in the video I linked previously until just now.

[plummeting_sloth]

Until being corrected at a party this weekend, I thought the chorus for the BEP song "Imma Be" was saying "Bumble Bee"

[GaProgMan]

I got a call from my closest friend last night. Turns out he was taken into the hospital on Friday. He's been losing a lot of weight over the past few months, and has had trouble walking for the past few weeks. Turns out that he's got a tumour between his pelvis and his bladder.

Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night, worry and such.

It's a bad couple of weeks to know me, isn't it? Be safe, friends.
