Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • Remember the Windows 95 copying files animation?

    A colleague and I were sitting waiting for a shit-ton (UK Imperial, not metric) of files for the project we were working on to be copied to a backup folder when our (pretty computer-clueless) boss wandered up behind us and said (with no irony at all - he was called Wolfgang): “Playing a game on company time?”

    But then we all also wrote scripts which printed meaningless computer gibberish to the screen so we could take a bit of time out and relax - and if he ever showed up we’d be allL “It’s compiling” or “It’s recalibrating the main drive” or “It’s defragging the video ROM”.
