If Architects Had To Work Like Web Designers...
Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 02:58 - Humor
I received a link to this funny story about how it would be if architects had to work like web or software designers. It describes the amount of conflicting and/or ridiculous requirements some customers come up with.

Unfortunately it isn't as far from reality as one would hope....

"You must be thrilled to be working on as an interesting project as this!"
Last Friday a customer told me this exactly. And of course the project isn't the least interesting to me because it is more of the same.

The link to my Virtual Bartender Commands page seems to be quite popular, according to the hits I get from Google / Yahoo / MSN, so I made it into a static SPHPBlog file instead of the loose HTML file that it was.

Now people can see that there is more to this site than just that single page :)

Look closely at below image for about 15 seconds and you WILL see a giraffe. It really works always!



Some wise lessons...

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!

Some examples: phone / play / dance / shoot / hold / love / jump / serve / crush / flash / sing / fight / kick / swirl / handstand / push up

Spoiler: overview of all commands that are implemented :)

A couple of men are at the golfclub preparing for a round of golf, when a mobile rings. One of them answers the phone and the others cannot help but overhear the conversation, which goes as follows:

HE: Hello?
SHE: Hey honey, it's me... Are you at the golfclub?
HE: Yes, I am.
SHE: I went shopping and saw a great leather coat, but it costs $4000.
HE: Well, if you really like it you should buy it whatever the price is.
SHE: Great! Thanks. By the way, when I passed the Mercedes dealer I saw a great car! But it costs $80,000
HE: Well, it's fine with me. But for that price I want all accessories included.
SHE: All right! And you know, that great house we were looking at? It's back on the market and now they are asking $950,000
HE: OK, put in an offer of 900,000. But now I gotta go tee off.
SHE: Oh thanks, you're the best!

The man hangs up the phone. As he sees the bewildered looks on the faces of the others, he asks "Does anyone know who's mobile this is?"

Had to include this one.... I don't recall where I got this, as it is a couple of years old. If you are the copyright holder, please contact me.
