the perils of writing code while swigging cough medicine

[geekchick]

Note to self:  your code does exactly what you tell it to do, not what you mean  for it to do; you don't really want to use || instead of && there. Unless of course you intended to not allow anyone  to ever be able to get past the error-checking in your form no matter what they select; while possibly fun in a "choose your own adventure" sort of way, it wouldn't work out to be very profitable for your employer.

Where did the new avatar come from?

Ok - so... two qwestions:

1) what great code did you write, under the influence ?

2) I think the avatar/icon is sexy, but missing the boots.

IMO geekchick simply exudes sexiness, with or without boots... even in avatar form... ;-)

1)Heh. I was writing some error-checking code for an online order form to make sure that people did reasonable things like pick a product to order and enter their billing and shipping addresses. I was reminded that the code to check for all the appropriate address info is not quite useful to check for having picked a product; I ended up fixing it so that the only way to get past the error-checking was to order one of every single product we sell. ;)

Boots are on their way, woohoo! *grin*

Argeed! She is definitely fantasy material :)

*Agreed* even. *sigh*

Order one of every product? I like that.
Fewer and more loyal customers. Optimize... optimize... optimize!

I get tongue-tied around her, too... ;-)
