ASP.NET Debug View

"I love it when I get to kill two birds with one stone. So I decided to sit down and write a little browser extension to provide an indication of debug mode within the browser. " [nikhilk.net]

What a great idea!

Did you get that memo?

This email thread really did happen:

An email is sent out by [person1]


Attached you will find the format for functional spec documents.
Any new (material) development should include the completion of
this document. The document is short and should not require a
high level of effort. This document may change as we fit it to
our development cycles, but I think this is a pretty good start.
If you have change suggestions please forward them.


I respond with:


I'm working on the functional spec for the oracle interface.
Any opposition to storing the document in MSWord format?
We can then include pictures and use Word's "track changes"
feature.

Oh...do we need TPS Coversheets for submitted specs?


The response from [person1]:


We can. I was hoping to store them near the code so we can
reference them quickly. I was thinking they might be viewed
by cat or vi as reference to how the process works.
Thoughts?


[person2] asks 3 honest questions:


Richard:

1. What is a TPS coversheet?
2. VI is some kind of text editor, right?
3. What is "cat"?


[person3] responds with:


1. Attached. We're putting cover sheets on all of our
TPS reports now before they go out. Did you get that memo?
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPS_report)

2. Roman numeral 6… or Unix text editor
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi)

3. [[picture of a feline]]


[person2] responds with:


1. Thanks for the TPS. Still don't know what it stands
for, though -- anyone know? Plus, I did not see that
movie. Perhaps [person1] will grant education credit
for viewing it.

2. Good link. Thanks.

3. This is the first humorous response you have provided
me with -- waytuhgo, [person3]! Keep 'em comin'!


[person4] suggests:


Test Procedure Specification, perhaps?

Yes, thank you for the link.


[person3] sheds some light:


The TPS is just a joke…. Richard was referring to the
mindless paperwork definition. ;)


Funny thing is [person2] and [person4] never watched office space!

The thread ends with:


[person4]
Ahh… hahahahah

[person2]
You got me good. I just did not expect it from you.
A new side emerges!

p.s. I agree, by the way...

[person3]
You really do need to watch Office Space
