NO! I warn anyone from ever having a vehicle called Lilith. I had one - a lovely Porsche 356 replica... thing drained my soul. I loved her to bits, but she drained my soul, my bank balance and every spare moment breaking down.Originally Posted by Ghost Lemur

Hang on.... yeah, that's good. I'll use it in this here "New Consumer Detail Entry" documentation.
It currently rambles on about "fixed charges and tariffs" and boring crap like that. If I subsitute "succubus" for "consumer", and "kamikaze" for "tariff", it'll be heaps more interesting...
I've done this sort of thing before, when it got too boring, and my test data is always 'out there' (lots of "Black Adder" references and quotes). Nearly got me into trouble once when unbeknownst to me, my boss installed my test data at a client's site in OrStrylya.
"What's all this stuff about 'Black Russian', and 'Kate who's known as Bob' ?"
By the way, Hitcher - my use of "succubus" was just a guess, based on some book I read where there was a succubus, who was behaving in the way you suggested they don't.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Hey - that's even more betterer!
I can use it, right? I mean, there were no ™ thingos anywhere, so presumably there's no intterleck-choorawl propitty rorts to worry abut?
But I'll need to reword it somewhat, viz:
"Welcome to your new Billing software. This release (codenamed "Incubus") will seduce your female customers into using more heat, thereby wearing fewer clothes, thus spending more money.
This is a great improvement over our previous release (Succubus) which unfortunately gave us Ugly Naked Guy. We apologise for that, and any resulting cataracts you may have suffered from will be removed as part of the health plan we have put in place."
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

hey vifferman, do you write docmenation for accounting sort of software??
My Brian hurts!
Of course you can. As a QA guy who has "Memory Leak Shock Horror!" followed by the issue written in Newspaper style in one of the Magic 6.0 Manual addenda sheets I know how we have to get things to be nice and funny at work.
Currently I'm not allowed to say things like "This doesn't work!" in our bug database... I'm not allowed to be funny.... I think that I might kill myself ... Or not.... heh.

I documented one process, with help as follows:
1. This appears to do something, but I've no idea what it is.
2. This one does something else.
3. THis one appears to do nothing at all, or if it does, it's a complete mystery.
4. This one sucks.
etc.
I asked the programmer dealing with it to check it over, and he said, "Yup, that's about it."
... and that's what I think.

check ya pm, my wife works a for a company doing same job, but accounting based software.Used to, but now it's energy billing software - the most boring software in the universe.
f*sakes.Putsomeclotheson!
Is that "the most boring software in the universe" or
The Most Boring Software in the Universetm?
Cos there may be issues there - i'm officially working on the most boring software in the universe, including all unknown dimensions and area codes.

OK, technically, I guess it would be "The Most Boring Software in the Cubicle Hell Universetm ".
That's possibly the worst thing - the fact that I inhabit CubicleHellSpace whilst writing about it. The sundry geeks/nerds/dweebs/weirdos are entertaining for outsiders to point at, laugh at and throw peanuts to, but sharing CubicleHellSpace with them is just inhumane (for me that is - they think it's just fine because almost without exception, none of them have ever had a Real Job.)
... and that's what I think.

Yup. Comes from Assyrian mythology; a base demon which presents itself at night to men, taking the form of the victim's fantasy figure, and, umm, takes their semen. Once it has enough, it becomes an incubus and presents itself at night to women. These men and women were, no doubt, somewhat frustrated in the daytime....

Interesting take on the words "demon" and "victim". I suppose the concept of a wet dream without the mess has merit...

You're just not sharing CHS with the *right* geeks/nerds/dweebs/weirdos.

Yes, indeed it does.... for all those times when you're in the dogbox, things are getting a little edgy, and you don't want the partner to know she's got you just where she wants you... where can i buy one of these succubus's???
You have real geeks? Pocket protecting, sandal wearing horn rimmed glass type geeks? I swear i thought they'd all disappeared! IT is such a common place line of work i wouldn't be surprised if they hired my mum tomorrow.The sundry geeks/nerds/dweebs/weirdos are entertaining for outsiders to point at, laugh at and throw peanuts to
Hmmm... so there are still real geeks - you're company hired them all! Lucky bugger aye......?
