I was ironing my shirts (don't ask...just don't, OK?) and the orginal came on the wireless:
On a warm summer's eve
On a Google bound for nowhere
I met up with the CP Expert
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
At the browser in the darkness
The boredom overtook us, he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life
Out of readin' people's programs
Knowin' what the classes were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind me sayin'
I can see you're out of structures
For a taste of your Java
I'll give you some advice"
So I handed him my project
And he deleted my last function
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said, "If you're gonna code the language, boy
You gotta learn to code it right
You've got to know when to ref 'em
Know when to box 'em
Know when to push to production
Know when to run
You never test your application
When you're sittin' at the 'puter
There'll be time enough for testin'
When the codin's done
Every coder knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every app's a winner
And every app's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to design in your sleep"
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to CodeProject
And somewhere in the internet
The expert he broke even
And in his final algorithms
I found a method that I could keep
You've got to know when to ref 'em
Know when to box 'em
Know when to push to production
Know when to run
You never test your application
When you're sittin' at the 'puter
There'll be time enough for testin'
When the codin's done
You've got to know when to ref 'em
(When to ref 'em)
Know when to box 'em
(When to box 'em)
Know when to push to production
Know when to run
You never test your application
When you're sittin' at the 'puter
There'll be time enough for testin'
When the codin's done

IRONING YOUR SHIRTS???
Sorry I had to ask .
Nice song .
Kitty at my foot and I waAAAant to touch it...

I said "don't ask"!
I buy good quality shirts, and they both last longer and look better if ironed. And Herself loathes ironing as much as I do...so I have to do it myself.

Haven't you heard of wrinkle-free clothing?

In my case, rather than taking out the wrinkles, she makes them permanent. I think tales about wives ironing clothes are a myth.

REALLY cool!! The verse feet don't work all the way, but I like it!!!
When are you releasing the Youtube video?

That would require me singing, a feat reckoned so unlikely by my music teacher at school that I was ordered to mime in assembly...and banned from playing the triangle.

Nice Grif. Is this your original? I like it. I smiled.

Know when to push to production - is too many syllables.
Know when to push to prod - Would be better.

suggestion:
replace: "When you're sittin' at the 'puter"
with: "When you're hittin' data tables"
rings more true to the original (a little sad that I knew this well enough to offer such a suggestion).

And patches just can't be found

I will commit them all

Why, Microsoft?
If I wanted to use Bing, I'd use Bing.
I'm happy with Google, thanks - so why does the Win10 start menu search always use Bing?
Sorry MS, but you forced me to take drastic measures: Hi there Chrometana[^] - what;s that? you redirect all Bing searches to Google if Chrome is your default browser? A little heavy, but OK...
Bye, bye Bing...
First they ignore my preferences and set their browser as my default, then they try to force me to use their search engine? When Cortana won't even work on my machine because I won't let you have the full rights to all my data? No, MS...I won't.

I'm having difficulty getting to grips with web search results being returned from the start button. Maybe I need to realign my thought processes but start for me is entirely to do with what I have on my computer, not on the web. That's what google is for. You could argue there's a privacy issue right there...
Edge doesn't seem to be any great improvement. I've had a lot of difficulty getting it to die. You click close and it just stays there.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I stopped using it - it's a little faster than Chrome, but it's ugly as an ugly thing from the planet ugly and it's "tools" area takes up too much valuable screen space.
Frankly, I expected better - and I doubt it's speed advantage is going to last too long either...

I don't really mind the results being returned from the start menu - but...in Win7, click the start button, type a command and you got commands. So I do the same on Win10 and press enter...and not only does it take ages, but it starts an internet search if I didn't type it right. Win7 was better in that regard, it did nothing if there was no relevant command.

Indeed. If I search my hard drive for "Hairy Elephant" I may not want big G (or M) to know about it.

DO not search on the web from the start menu search. Who needs Bing anyway ?
