Hi,


I found this entry in my yahoo notepad:


June 30 2008
Forget about the details of whatever you're thinking about or working on today -- you can take care of them later! It's a good time for you to try to get ahead with some grand scheme that's been a dream.


---------------------------------------------
I was very glad to read it after a while, I thought you would like it too!

Hi,

I hope anyone with development background will enjoy this real life story:

_______________________________________________
Once upon a time, there was a visionary S.Q.A team leader.
A strong hold on M.$. Excel was what he excelled. He used to say, "Any project can be managed using just Excel." (And I used to ponder, "Wouldn't notepad be a better choice?").

He was very much annoyed with the useless BugZilla(?!).
He, then came forward to announce that, "From now on, all bug tracking should be done using M.$. Excel."

Although, he met a fierce opposition to that but he still hopes that, "One day, there will be no BugZilla around in Bug tracking as that will be surpassed by the super powers of M.$. Excel!"

Here is an enlightened tester:
Backdrop: She is testing some web application and is very much involved in that.

After some time, she asks this to fellow developer sitting a few cubicles away:
"Hey, where I am logged in?"
My System admin colleague started LOL and said:

"Yeh, rahe ubharate huye Bharat ke honhar Tester!"


Will keep posting this stuff...

Hi,

Here is a chat conversation with an enlightened developer:

me: hi, firstname is not connected to the network. Can you send me her MAC address.
him:ok, sure... it is "firstname.lastname" <<<<<<<<<
me: Noooo.. I mean physical address...
him: I don't know where she stays... Wait, let me ask her... <<< This is a killer

Hi

I've just completed translating WebSVN in Marathi.

I hope, developers at WebSVN will incorporate the translation in their next release.
To add marathi support in your WebSVN installation please, follow these steps:
Download this file:
http://aniruddhas.com/tutorials/marathi.txt
move it to your websvn installation as:
eg:
mv marathi.txt WebSvn-2.2.1/languages/marathi.php

add following line in WebSvn-2.2.1/languages/languages.php
in the array section, at your fav. sort spot.

'mr' => array('marathi', 'Marathi', '&#2350;&#2352;&#2366;&#2336;&#2368;'),


That's it, it starts showing marathi menu.

I am going to translate in Hindi also, when I find some time ;)
Thats all for now,

TC

Above jokes were taken from: http://archive.salon.com/21st/chal/1998/02/10chal2.html




Those jokes remind me of:


There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire become a great writer.

When asked to define “great” he said, “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!”

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.




WINDOWS XP ERROR MESSAGES


This one is cool:


A few of the new error messages that were taken under consideration during the development of the Windows XP operating system...

• Smash forehead on keyboard to continue.

• Press any key to continue or any other key to quit.

• BREAKFAST.SYS halted... Cereal port not responding.

• Close your eyes and press escape three times.

• File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)

• Runtime Error 6D at 417A:32CF: Incompetent User.


• Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue.

• Bad command or file name! Go stand in the corner.

• Windows message: "Error saving file! Format drive now? (Y/Y)"

• Windows VirusScan 1.0 - "Windows found: Remove it? (Y/N)"

won't it?




Screenshots of errors that are really funny:

some of them are fake, though.

Hi there,

Very busy schedule since last few days as was busy in hand over of tasks as I am leaving my old organization.

This was just to ping again.
