Tulip gig - coping mechanisms

[MicrosoftBob]

I sometimes write games into the code. Some games that worked well were
Ultima - a two player chess variation
Pharm-opoly - a variation on monopoly
BinLaden - a single player cave clearing op in MSaccess


currently working on Robo wars, but I cant get fruit machine wheels to work properly. too much flicker

Well Worms was written by someone rather bored and with too much time on their hands, don't think they've done too bad out of it

Suity, just because someone can't wriggle out of concrete boots, doesn't make them indispensable.

He he he. Good one.

I've seen it all now on this gig. The requirements spec is a load of screen shots, printed out, scribbled on indecipherably in biro and then scanned back as a pdf.

Lucky it wasn't in crayon or you could have been on the hook.

Although in reality i'm annoying everyone and leaving a big pile of tulip which i hope they don't discover until i'm well gone

Amateurs.
Suggested techniques follow:

1) First thing in the morning you draw eight boxes at the top of your page. Circles can be used as a standard variation. Depending on your artistic preferences, they do not all need to be the same size or aligned.
Divide each box into four sections.
Colour in one section every fifteen minutes.
Methods for doing this can vary:
a) start at top left on square one, and work your way through methodically.
b) Colour random quadrants in. This method is, in my opinion, more intellectually stimulating

If fifteen minutes seems interminable, you can further divide the sections. A preferred way of doing this is to draw a line from the box to a new box which represents the fifteen minutes. Divide this new box into three five minute sections. Every three five minute chunks you then get the added excitement of colouring a fifteen minute box as well. If things are really dire, you can further link the five minute box to a child box. You end up with a nice hierarchy if you do this - and as you'll probably cope without dividing the fifteen minute boxes for at least part of the day (whilst taking a dump, for example) the overall effect resembles (for those old enough to remember it) jsp (no, not a java server page...)




2) If you're given manuals/documentation to read, look for each letter of the alphabet in turn and see how many pages it takes to get to 'z'. Repeat and see if you can beat your previous score. It's surprising how rare Js are (unless you happen to be a java dev...).

Are we talking Jackson diagrams? I used to love them I did.
