Re: Most likely thing to make vroom go postal in the last 2 weeks of the semester

    Wow. Nice to see we're not amongst the choices. :-)
      There is the other option. Seriously I am looking to XMAS break so I can hack on PerlMonks.

      School is friggin busy right now... the good and bad news is that in two weeks it'll be over.

    PM improvements over XMAS? Damn. I'll be moving from my main office (read "dusty and clothing-strewn dorm room") to home where I'll be able to enjoy life at the end of a 28.8 on a 486 with Win-ninety-fried. XMAS? Yeah, can't wait. (Anyone want to make a donation to the AgentMFund?)

    Man, I remember the user documentation I had to do for my CS projects. I didn't vote that one, but I do feel for you. I thought I was getting out of writing 100 page papers, but in the end, I ended up with about 3 of them written.

    Instead, I voted for Mad Cow Disease, knowing the type of food that is commonly available on college campuses. :)

    ALL HAIL BRAK!!!

    Server Maids? I'm am clueless here... someone link me up...

    honk() if $you->love(perl)

      vroom is afraid that he'll get sidetracked by the hot girls they have running the campus servers. I wish I had a couple of those sitting around my servers....

        Wrong. The server maids are the individuals suspected to be responsible for the crash of the servers in the previous round of instability. They were dusting the cabinets, and knocking loose power cords.

        Update: See Servers with an uptime of more than a day are. IIRC, the term came out of a chatterbox conversation.

    i voted with the mentality that if it works for me it'll probably work for someone else as well.
    java (insert ominous thunder crash here)

    With any luck the java coding will be done before the insanity becomes permanent...

    Who/What is Skiles?
        Fatality! If you venture to Grand Rapids, I'll hook you up.

        ...now I need to change my vote ;)

    Long time since I posted something... How come that when I vote in this thing I put my vote on the majority thing... Without looking at the result... Does it mean that I'm average?

      Go with great minds think alike... =)

    Java. Definitely Java. I'm sat here desperately trying to learn Java for my Final Project, and it's pure, pure mud.

    I hate it hate it hate it.

    Thank you for listening,

    Nick.
      Amen, brother. After tangling hours in them, I finally roasted my Java Beans and defaulted to Perl- a nice waste of time.
