This is a snippet of an IM conversation with Yar, where I told him about how I found a nasty bug in my code at 10:00 p.m. Monday night:
[16:06] Sha Bond: yeah i was pretty pissed when i realized stuff was broken
[16:06] Sha Bond: i had a brief moment where i was really afraid i would start to cry
[16:06] Sha Bond: this is why they don’t let girls program
[16:06] Coltar: that, and you name all your variables “barbie” and “shopping”
[16:07] Coltar: void BuyAPony ( HORSEDATA* MyPony)
[16:07] Coltar: i hate when I see that.

And the response from Jenny:
[16:56] etherjag: yes
[16:56] etherjag: in fact i was just coding up some variables
[16:56] etherjag: int MarryARichMan;
[16:56] etherjag: in fact i was just coding up some variables
[16:56] etherjag: int MarryARichMan;
Finally:
[17:27] Coltar: ooh
[17:27] Coltar: MarryARichMan = HOPEFULLY;
[17:27] Coltar: MarryARichMan = HOPEFULLY;
Pretty nerdy. I believe I promised Yar to “never speak of this again”, but this isn’t technically speaking, is it?
I like the post’s title (not to mention the nerdy content as well)!
