Re: RIGHT!
My first foray into asp resulted in the following conversation:
My boss : "Can we get some software for one of our engineers"
IT boss : "Why?"
My boss : "So he can code the department's intranet page, he's writing the pages in asp"
- to explain, the code was checking a particular folder and creating on the fly an indexed and searchable list of engineering reports. It was quicker than adding the new reports to a static page *every single day*.
IT boss : "WE HAVEN'T AUTHORISED ANY CODING SOFTWARE! WHAT"S HE WRITING IT IN!"
My boss : "He wants to know what you're using to write the intranet in"
Me : "Tell him I'm writing it in Notepad"
IT boss : "... oh"
Biting the hand that feeds IT
