False advertising

[CheeseSlice]

Seems an agency out there advertising for Message Broker specialists

This isn't my skill area, but about a month ago I received a call from a desperate agent with an outrageous foreign accent who was looking for a "Message Broker". He said they must be good at handling XML messages

At first I thought this was a wind up, but then I realised he hadn't understood the clientcos requirement.

I didn't have the heart to tell him

Welcome to the world of IT where you have become a commodity. If I were you, i'd brush up on your Urdu pretty quick sharp and change your name to Bob!

Well, I just tried to translate: "Hello, my name is Bob. I am to be offering you plenty cheapness", to Urdu and got: "aadaab mera naam Bob mein offering tum mauj cheapness hain" Immediately followed by:

"Software error: Can't use string ("149") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at ../apniurdu-lib//Urdu/Transliteration.pm line 56. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([email protected]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. "

...Seems like Bob software quality is just going from strength-to-strength. That's my Urdu-speaking plans buggered!

Hmmm, I've always wondered that! Can you please tell us I'm genuinely interested in knowing.

You realise you can just go and find out?
