Morning VF. Welcome to the happy rosey world.

But I thought you were at ClientCo ?

errr - I think you are missing the point of tpd! the idea is to drivel!

and as VDF is 19th and you are 51st he outranks you!!

No no, I get the point. I just get double drivel - real life and on here - it all gets a bit confusing!

To quote C3PO, "the damage doesn't look as bad from out here".

Oh yes it doe! The Red Ditch.

Wouldn't it be funny to sit Bill Gates down in front of a computer, ask him to complete a fairly trivial programming task in thirty minutes (the kind of thing they use when interviewing at MS), and then put the whole thing on YouTube

He sucked hard when he still wrote code in the late Seventies - early Eighties (ever read the source of DONKEY.BAS? - not structured so badly, but the functionality the program provides is self-contradictory garbage), and given that he's spent most of the last fifteen years trying to contradict his own lawyers rather than coding, it could be quite amusing to see him trying to make something that actually works

(Some background to Donkey, together with some more fail when they tried to update it to .NET )

Some good points in the comments on the codinghorror blog... Gates wrote stuff in assembler in the 70s... he even wrote an emulator for the MITS Altair as a means of developing the rom Basic for it.

How are you?

Ok thanks, how are you?

Very true

I heard that - you remember what happened the last time I got the paddle out, yes?

But I thought you were at ClientCo ?
