Let those with option declare cast the first stone

Sometimes we in the blogging community can get a bit pompous and say things like:

"Oh god, had to fix some code today and it was just terrible. I mean it had no comments and option declare was not set. What's more it was all functional and all the code was in a huge script library called Ken's routines. Yadda yadda."

I for one have posted similar stuff, perhaps even the odd cartoon.

In hindsight this is all horse shit. Why? well we have all at sometime, when learning our trade, written convoluted, dreadful cheesey software; some of us even wake up in cold sweats and think: "OH GOD WHAT IF THEY ARE STILL RUNNING FLANGE V1.0"

To paraphrase the Bible:

"Let those with option declare cast the first stone."

Hell I think I am ready to testify.

Bonus Track: On a package show in Buffalo ..

Now on a package show in Buffalo with us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride
The show was long and we were just sittin' there
And we'd come to play and not just for the ride.
We drank a lot of whiskey so I don't know if we went on that night at all.
I don't think they even missed us, I guess Buffalo ain't geared for the Dukes of Uke.

Country Honk.

A touch early ...... but Dukes have gone festive.

Merry Christmas Everybody.

Man's greatest achievements

Man's greatest achievements are:

1. The Moon landing.
2. Conquering Everest.
3. Monkey Programmer boy managing to get a test paid via the "you pass we pay offering" from the Blue Meanies.

To be honest the YPWP support people in Ireland were very good.
