our newest episode

I'm mildly frustrated by the progress of work. It feels like I'm in a perpectual state of waiting on others to end their meeting. This has been going on for quite a while.

So, just to make life interesting, I'm continuing the saga of "The adventures of a mad scientist". This new episode brings you

• the guesswork of R&D - why do research at all? just guess it and fake it! (apparently, this is the expected work on our parts when given insufficient information. I'm still pissed about the RTFM comment from one or two posts ago)

• Computer Scientist pastimes: What do computer scientists do in their spare time? The real cynical ones write Haikis. Here's a haiku about the product owner - "bug, bugs and more bugs. My program is failing. They just ignore it."

(nope. there is no adventures of a mad scientist. We lead quiet lives. Those who don't live quiet lives don't live long. These type usually make a grand exit - normally with a big boom)
