It seems for most programmers that nobody apreciates their effort
|
|
to bring forth a good program. For sysops it seems that most
|
|
people do not care about the time they put into the system or
|
|
money it takes them to run the system. Well, for all those
|
|
programmers and sysops out there wondering, 'What excuse can I
|
|
gave to this asshole.' Here is a list of some of the ones I have
|
|
encountered......
|
|
|
|
Fuck you, it runs.
|
|
|
|
I was drunk when I wrote it.
|
|
|
|
My monitor was broken so I couldn't see what I was typing
|
|
|
|
So i'm not the worlds greatist programmer, sue me.
|
|
|
|
I'm used to programming on a timex sinclair.
|
|
|
|
Me program that peice of junk, hahahahaha.
|
|
|
|
To much static electricity.
|
|
|
|
Lets see you write it.
|
|
|
|
No, that program was good but got messed up during the transfer.
|
|
|
|
I had to meet a deadline.
|
|
|
|
My little sister fucked it up.
|
|
|
|
Electro-magnetic interferiance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sysop excuses to users:
|
|
|
|
The driver file got fucked.
|
|
|
|
To much line noise.
|
|
|
|
You must have a bad connection.
|
|
|
|
There was a bad sector in the program so some got lost.
|
|
|
|
The other copy got messed up when my disk drive blew up so i'm
|
|
|
|
using this backup.
|
|
|
|
My modem is screwed.
|
|
|
|
I put too many mods in.
|
|
|
|
I don't know how to clear my hi-memory.
|
|
|
|
What bit & parady are you at?
|
|
|
|
Are you sure your at the right duplex?
|
|
|
|
We have one but you don't have acess to it.
|
|
|
|
Tough shit.
|
|
|
|
The computers overheating.
|
|
|
|
One of the computers chips blew because people didn't donate for
|
|
a fan so I had to use this shit program.
|
|
|
|
Lets see you run it.
|
|
|
|
Sorry if i'm not rich enough to buy a ten meg hard drive and 1200
|
|
bps modem just for you. If you think the system needs that then
|
|
heres the adress to send a donation to.......
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
