screammagazine.com – your daily source for hobos, midgets and drunken madness

…and the odd quote of pure genius, for your wall of fame/shame. Today, what I found was profound wisdom, so poetically worded by the aptly named  “HappyCamper”, that it can only be presented in its original language, mongus norvegicus. The quote was in response to a (I suppose) rhetorical question regarding this: “Who are worse, the bitches or the retards standing around and cheering?”, to which the camper promptly responded:

“Kjerringene selvfølgelig Mongo’r er bare mongo’r, kjerringer er tross alt kjerringer”

I – conflict resolver

At times, Visual SourceSafe finds it best to upon checkin ask me: “have any conflicts in [file] been properly resolved?”. Now, how the #¤! am I supposed to know that, Mr. VSS? Oh, the horror!

Even though his attempt at ridicule is clearly done with a humorous twist, he has some valid points – there does indeed seem to be some kind of a hype when it comes to dynamic languages these days. Now, don’t get me wrong, the freedom that a dynamic language can provide can at times be extremely empowering and productive (not to mention fun!), but for our current development project, I praise myself lucky that we went with a statically typed language (C#) every time I have to do a major refactoring, which happens more often than you might think…

Still, we are not totally without dynamics <g>. Some bits of the project are actually being written in IronPython, more on that later (maybe).
