Chucara's Awards thread
« on: August 07, 2007, 07:44:10 PM »
Chucara deserves some awards/rewards for the great work he did on the new forum, so this is the place to give 'em.

He likes ice cream, I'm pretty sure...

I nominate we adjust the script of the board. Whenever Chucara is typed... it get's changed to El Hombre muy Magnifico (The Man of much Magnificence or The very Magnificent Man)

Perhaps Chucara could put that into the script?
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Yes, I agree well done Chucara.

Actually, I just wanted to see the script change his name.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

How about a coder story?

A friend of mine worked as QA at a large software company, and basically his job was to help the various departments get their code working by troubleshooting it. Well they had this one guy working as a coder who was not at all qualified, and was always doing stupid stuff but no one ever caught him on it.

So he calls my buddy in to check his code. The guy says it's compiling perfectly but he clicks it and nothing happens. So my buddy looks through all the various headers and libraries for any obvious errors because the compiler isn't catching them.

Sure enough he finally checks the main file, and the first line has this
/*
and the last line has this
*/

No wonder it compiled so perfectly.

I'm pretty sure I like the ice cream babe better.
